there's a comic book store very nearby
Ultimate Comics?
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Also at the first store I went to they had Astonishing X-Men for $8,
It's only two weeks old! Sadly that strategy will probably work in that eventually the other stores will run out and since Marvel doesn't do reprints someone's going to be willing to pay $8 for it. Though that shop is going to be sitting on it for awhile. Still very much of the lame, though.
I do have one question about UXM, though. What the hell is up with Iceman's "costume"? He looks like The Dread Pirate Frosty.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Kalshane, there was an limited alternative cover, in all probability that was the higher cost ...

I may have to seize the cat.
Ultimate Comics?
Yes.

I'd rather you were moving to my end of town, but you get the better comics store out of the deal!

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
There were two alternate covers for Astounishing X-Men, and the rarer one was selling for like $50/issue when it was first released. This, as I said to our IT guy, is what is wrong with comics.
Superman Birthright #11 - By this time, I'm just collecting it to keep the run intact.
Buh? Whu? I love Birthright. Clark Kent -- a woobie in all media.

Ah. Wasn't aware of the dual-cover thing.

Thrive to spite them
The cover that the store was selling for $8 is the one with just Wolverine's claws extended.
Which the other store had roughly 10 copies of at regular price.

Art Crawl!!!
What does the limited edition cover look like?
(I think that the regular cover looks pretty cool.)

Thrive to spite them
Here is a picture of all three covers from an ebay auction.
I think the cover with the whole team is the rarest but I'm not sure.
So, on my lunch break I ran to the store that is now my favorite. They did not have The Outsiders #10, even though I swore I saw more than one copy yesterday. I ended up buying only the new Batgirl and forgetting to ask about GCPD.
I'm going to wait until Saturday when I can hit the other store that's in an inconvienent location for me and see what they have.
