Comic Book, Manga, and Related Purchases for AUG 2011

[Flashback2012]

I figured we could have a thread similar to the "What's It Worth?" thread where people can post purchases of comic books, manga, comic related toys and collectibles. They can also post pics of comics they found at garage/yard sales, at the flea market, or a rare back issue or item they've been seeking for some time.

Without further ado, let's get this started...

My comic pull for the week of 8/4/11:

DC

Adventure Comics #529
DC RetroActive 1980's: Batman #1
DC RetroActive 1980's: Flash #1
DC RetroActive 1980's: Wonder Woman #1
Flashpoint #4
Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance #3
Flashpoint: Deathstroke and the Curse of Ravager #3
Flashpoint: Secret Seven #3
Superboy #10
Superman #714
World of Flashpoint #3

The RetroActive books kicked my wallet in it's proverbial face @ $4.99 each. I tried to not get roped into getting the Flashpoint minis but ended up caving on those. Some have been decent and others have been BAD.

I was kinda bummed when I realized that was the last issue of Adventure Comics and that Superman V1 is ending at #714, with the lackluster JMS Grounded story being the tale that closes the book out.

My comic pickups for this month:

Sonic The Hedgehog #227

Sonic Universe #30

I've been collecting Sonic (and it's many off-shoots) since issue 30, and I'm not about to quit now.

Amazing Spider-Man #666
Venom #5
Venom #2 2nd Printing Variant
Red Skull Incarnate #2(of 5)
X-Men Adventures #1, #2, and (I think I bought this? Have to check) #3.


I think that is it so far this month. The Spider Island story related comics are starting to roll out, expect those to be purchased.
