Its been a great year of back issues for me folks. I usually do a video of each issues I get...and i plan to post the 2012 back issue haul and 2013 in this thread. In December ill do the 2014.

I was able to hit Pulp Fiction Comics in Long Beach today after work... no back issues (and few new comics, even), but easily the best and most complete trade collection I've seen.. they had quite nearly every Masterwork and Archive, and entire shelves devoted to stuff like TMNT and Usagi. Not a whole lot of manga, but an amazing selection of American comic trades.

I picked up the 'Justice Society Returns' and Welcome to Tranquility out of the $5 bin (which had some good stuff I already own, including Lucifer and Stormwatch). They apparently do 40% off cover for all Marvel and DC stuff all the time (Which is nice!) so I also picked up Vol. 3 of Lorna the Jungle Girl Masterwork... more than I like to pay for those, but it was a cool store, so I thought I'd give them some money

Managed to snag a copy of Marvel Team-Up #95 (first appearance of Bobbi Morse as Mockingbird) for $5 earlier this week. It's at least F+, and this book is regularly selling for $15 or more on eBay since she showed up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this week, with some copies going for close to $30.

              I been gone all summer and since then I have gotten 300+ back issues since June. Anyhow its time I ran them all down I suppose.
