I havent been to a comic book store in many years, its been like a decade. Kind of drifted away from that hobby a bit over time since I was a teen.
I recently got back into watching ComicsExplained on YouTube a few months ago. Rob is an awesome summarizer whos the only guy I ever liked watching about this stuff.
So Marvel and DC are infamous for their beef so crossovers never happen. Except two days ago for the first time in over 20 years they released a crossover comic with some banger selections for teamups. I was sold enough to want to pick up a copy but they only did physical printing no digital. You HAVE to actually go to a store and pick up a copy.
For the first time in many years I felt hyped enough to want to read a story and had incentive to physically a comic store. I didnt realize how cheap single issue comics were so I picked up several storied ive been hearing about for months that I wanted to get into.
I spent the day sunbathing in a hanmock, reading comics with my kids and feeling nostalgic remembering how I got into it many years ago.
