Hey, there's one comic book store available to me during business hours midweek, and I have to drive 75 miles to it. (OK, so I'm actually driving 75 miles to work and stopping off there on lunch break, but still...)

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
There's one 3 blocks away from my work, in the City Library. Now, if only I still collected comics . . . .
Damn. I wish my old comic store--21st Century Comics, in Fullerton--were closer to you, because they RAWK.
I have good comic stores by home (Comic Smash and Earth 2) and by work (Hi-De-Ho). I also loves me some MeltDown.
I read an Adrian Tomine graphic novel last night. It was really good but depressing. I loved the artwork.
Hi-De-Ho is sold out of too much stuff by the time I get there. No more TT by Saturday is sadmaking.
Some of my Batgirl collections have arrived. I wish they weren't hopping and skipping around the sequence, but I'm enjoying the reread -- currently Fists Of Fury.
The comic book store is around the block from where I live. And yes, it DID play a role in my decision to move there.
In Berea, my comic book store is cunningly placed between Berea and Richmond, so that it is waaaaaaay too far to walk. Which means I have to scam rides down there whenever I want comics. And they're not great about pulls, or getting me things I order.
However, I'll have a car next semester, which will hopefully make things easier. Because they are really nice people, at this comic book store.
Was there a new JLU last night like TVtome said there'd be? I forgot to set the VCR before going to Hec's book reading. I got the episode that was supposed to be shown, but it was from a Canadain network. Probably the one Holli mentioned upthread.
It ended up being the episode some of us were dreading when it was posted about awhile back, but it was actually pretty good. And there was one particular moment that was immensely satisfying.
What was being dreaded? Was it the Supertwins -- that weirded me out. Not to mention the bits that the boy kept leaving behind after turning back from water.
It makes me wonder -- what are Superman's boundaries? How fast (in %age of Flash)? How cold is his superbreath? His oxygen requirements? Sans kryptonite -- does he feel pain?
Ita, those are questions that have been posed for decades with no real answers. He's definitely not as fast as Flash, and can't quite fly at the speed of light.
He does indeed feel pain, but it takes a LOT.
