So, I was at a Newbury Comics today - which is a chain up in New England - and they had a big rack of grab bags. I always wondered what they did with their non-returnable unsold stock, since they don't sell back issues. Well, now I know, though this seems to be a new thing.
Anyway, they had some dirt cheap grab bags of new comics - 5 for $2, or 10 for $5 (yes, they get more expensive if you buy more. I don't know why). You can kind of only see the front and back comics in the grab bags, so it's a bit of a crap shoot, though the bags seemed to be thematic. For instance one of the 5 for $2 bags all seemed to be lenticular covers from DC.
Anyway, I bought a 10 for $5 Grab Bag of indie books, which I am about to open. For those up in New England, this might be a fun way to try out some new titles.
The visible issues in my bag are Manifest Destiny #6 and The Tower Chronicles #2, which I have never heard of, but it's by Matt Wagner and Simon Bisley, so it should be interesting.
In a minute I'll open the bag and post the contents... LIVE!
