If you don't there's something seriously wrong with you.

[The Creeper]

Ever since I've seen the pictures and trailers for the Hellboy movie I've been hell bent on buying the books.

[Xaraan]

Yeah, I just picked up a whole batch of Hellboy trades a week ago and I am part way through the first and loving it. You'll like it man!

[Aaron Calimeri]

I was just looking at Xaraan's sig.

They need to make a Metal Gear comic book drawn by the guy that did those designs. I have a strategy guide for Metal Gear Solid for PS1 that had a bunch of Metal Gear designs by that guy, and they look totally badass. I've wanted them to do that comic ever since I saw those.

[GimpNelly]

yeah, well, ArmyMonkey and I spent $250+ on comics and TPBs at that Culture Shocks Comic sale that that guy posted on here about... you ain't got nuthin' on us, Creeper ;) Sheesh we're geeks... :D

[Xaraan]

Yeah, Creeper just told me where that was from earlier today. I had no idea, it was just a cool image I found somewhere, thought it matched the blue them going on in my sig and all.

I can't wait to buy the remake of Metal Gear Solid for the GameCube.

SHUT UP!!!

Your tempting me to spend money!!!

[Randy A]

My wife would kill me for spending $65 all on comics, let alone $250..

[Jack Burton]

Hellboy is great stuff enjoy Creeper.

[Xaraan]

My wife would kill me too, that's why I don't tell her.

[echoshifting]

Ha! That's nothing. I spent $130 today. This is what I got:

-20-Point Full Service Oil Change
-New Brake Light
-Automatic Transmission Drain And Fill Service
-Front Differential Service
-Radiator Flush
-New Antifreeze Coolant & Radiator Sealant

[Randy A]

my wife handles the finances and is constantly checking the bank account online, if i went and did that there would be a very nasty message on the answering machine when i got home.

[GimpNelly]

See, that's what's cool about me liking comics AND handling the finances... I know how much we can spend, and when he sets a cap and I know we can afford more, I encourage him to spend more! :D It's quite fun. Especially since we spend equally (like today, he spent about $110 and I spent about $115 - then shipping and the preorder books we got too [see the 55% off thread]), so if I encourage him to spend more, I get more stuff too!! :D Works out wonderfully!!!

[Randy A]

man i wish i could get my wife into comics

[WebHobbit]

Today I spent $200.00 on a Laser Printer:

My wife reads about half the books that I do. Her favorite is probably Ultimate Spider-Man. She really loved Jim Lee's Batman too.

[Randy A]

i think my wife would like some of the stuff i read if i could just get her to pick one up and read it, but she absolutely refuses because shes in the middle of reading the 10 book (so far) robert jordan series and doesnt want to get involved in anything else. i can almost understand that as im reading those same books now that she is, but im willing to bet when we get to the end of those books she will find another excuse not to look at a book at all.

[GimpNelly]

I can get stubborn about stuff that my hubby likes too, like Dave Matthews and Kenshin, but I try to keep an open mind with anything he's interested in... I think the big reason that I'm down with reading comics is that I read them as a kid, because my big brother read them and I wanted to be cool like him... so then when Monkey and I started dating and talked about comics, and found out we had read as kids the same year, and liked the same books (Spidey and X-Men), that's when we started collecting again... I was kind of reluctant to read some of the books he gets, but sometimes I just get on huge comic reading kicks, and if I've read everything else we have, I try one of the books I haven't read! This keeps my mind open to new stuff... I mean, I was scared to read Daredevil cuz I didn't think I'd like it, and then along came David Mack and BAM Janelle has a newfound obsession for finding all of Mr. Mack's art and drooling over it... so it's good to keep an open mind, you never know what you will enjoy! And tell your wife I said so ;)

I believe it's called Seed of Destruction (Seed is singular). Not to be picky, but if someone looks it up as Seeds they might not be able to find it. ;)

that sucks that you just missed that sale! Ah well, at least you got a lot of fun stuff to read!! I'm really psyched to read Kabuki now. I'm sure it'll be top-pile for the wifey though, so I'll be reading DKR and Watchmen first.

[Skyldt]

i'll have to check out the 55% off thing, there are a bunch of TPBs that i want to get. among them-
Sandman-all of them
Hellboy-all of them
Akira-vol 4-6
and going with 10 sandman GN at 19.95 each, 5 hellboys at 19.95 each, and 3 Akira at 24.95 each, that comes to a grand total of -
$374.10 without discount
$205.75 with.

that's $168.34 with the discount.

(374.10 X 45% = 168.34)

and actually it'd cost you an extra $15 for shipping for 18 gns/tps

:D

[Skyldt]

but isn't it a 55% disco...screw it, i can't do math. i'll trust you.

It's 55% off. That means you pay 45%. So multiply your total times .45 and that's YOUR cost. You figured out how much you were saving though, which is also fun to look at! :D

[Skyldt]

with that $205.75, i think i will buy more stuff off of the site. more comics...
