It's a slow one for me. Actually, there is nothing on my list this week. I spent the money on an Absolute Batman #22 Harley Quinn shop exclusive variant pre-order instead 😀

I'm caught up on Absolute Batman, so I wandered into "Oldman Logan". Enjoyed the first 14 comics. Took a weird 180... I also just started "Dark Nights: Metal." Picked up a deluxe hardcover for $10 bucks. Have only heard good things. What are you guys/gals enjoying?

Because of an Ebay complaint this week, i met a new comic friend and got an amazing deal. I purchased a cooy of AB Wonder Woman off ebay. When it came, i wasn't all that happy with the condition (it said "NM"). I reached out to the seller, not realizing he lived an hour away from me. He actually called me on the phone (has no idea sellers had buyers phone numbers 🤣. He wanted to make it right and suggested we meet up and he'd bring all the copies he had and i could pick out the best one. I explained that i was collecting the Absolute series 1st prints, especially Batman. He told me that he had multiplies of all of them, including #1. We talked comics for 45 minutes lol. So i met him the next day. He's a 50 years collector. Im relatively new to collecting. Unbelievably nice guy. We sat there and talked comics for 3 hours. My wife thought he killed me 🤣. Long story long, he brought 5 copies of the #1 and told me to pick one out. I told him they were a little out of my price range right now. He asked what I had seen them going for. I said $150-$180 raw, $300-$400 9.8 slabbed. He said, "How about $100 bucks?" I couldn't get the money out fast enough. Then he said, "Here i want you to have this too," and just gave me a #1 Jim Lee foil! He said he doesn't do iit for the money. He's in his 60s and just enjoys seeing people collect and complete their runs. Because of an eBay complaint, i met a new friend and maybe "mentor" in the comic universe. Life is funny sometimes 😀

Just ordered the prequel (2015 Warzones). I see that they are finally coming out with the omnibus in December. I'm definitely picking that up for my collection!

I'm caught up on Absolute Batman, so I wandered into "Oldman Logan". 4 issues in, and im enjoying it. I also just started "Dark Nights: Metal." Picked up a deluxe hardcover for $10 bucks. Have only heard good things. What are you guys/gals enjoying?

Thinking of jumping into the series. Is it good?

It's hard for me not to say The Joker (I know), but im definitely not alone. The fact that he's made multuple appearances beyond the comics, in tv and film, says volumes. Are there any obscure, one off villians that you can think of?
