We have over 6,000 different comic issues in stock, from all across the past year-plus we’ve been in business. I’m going to experiment with a new idea: roll some (virtual) dice and pick a random comic from our old-stock shelves, flip through it, and write a mini first-impressions-only review. Fair warning, I’m a bit of a comics curmudgeon, and likely won’t like most of the stuff I flip through… plus I’ll be jumping in right in the middle of stuff more often than not, and won’t have a clue.
What the heck, here’s the first installment:
Comic Book: Ambush Bug Year None #4 (9 in stock)
OK, looks like some meta-DC-universe thing. I like meta. Breaking the fourth wall. Got it, don’t always need that pesky extra wall. Lots of DC inside jokes. Don’t really follow DC, don’t get the jokes. Seems to be just DC inside jokes, no coherent story. Not my cuppa. Oh well.

Pete: as someone who, in case you didn’t know, has been raiding your old-stock shelves lately, I like this new idea of yours. In my past couple of shipments, I’ve gotten comics dating back to summer/autumn of 2007. It would be funny to see if any of them pop up in this new feature of yours. Great idea!

Agreed; great feature, Pete!
I wonder if it’s worth it to have Andy scan a page or two to go along w your reviews?
Maybe yes, maybe no…
The first Ambush Bug Year None was the best, then it kinda went downhill from there. I highly recommend the first one.
