Last month, the owner of my LCS passed away after a battle with colon cancer. Before he died, he had planned a huge sale to empty his basement of his personal collection of comics, action figures, D&D and Magic cards. The proceeds went to his wife.

Today was that sale. It was a huge memorial, auction, and back issue sale. I picked up:

Amethyst (1983) #4, 5
Batman #436, 438, 441 & 442
Crisis on Infinite Earths #2, 3, 5
Flashpoint #1
Justice League of America #235
Red Hood and the Outlaws #16
World's Finest Comics #308
Uncanny X-Men #186, 187
Teen Titans: Future's End #1
Ultimate X-Men #61

Sorry to her about his passing Rodney. Nice that you were able to pick up some good issues to help his family.

2000AD
2000AD Prog 2470
    Judge Dredd - Art is very flat, but kinda cool once you settle in. Fun stuff. And like Jeff said, this will come back around soon!!
    Herne & Shuck - Herne should've probably known what was going on and pushed the wheel chair a mile down the road before starting. Ha
    Judge Dee - Love a haunted house, but feel a little disconnected not being familiar with some characters. I like this though.
2000AD Prog 2471
    Judge Dredd - Art in this new story is a little rough, at the start, but my eyes adjusted. And love the name of the main villain. Ha
    Herne & Shuck - Ohhh, sneaky little bastard. And love that last panel
    Judge Dee - Man, I do love the idea of this, but this was the least "fun" chapter of this story for me
    Terror Tales - Meh, a typical small press short story. Decent, but nothing spectacular
    Discarded - I'm not reading this, but I want to. Not sure why it didn't hit for me. Looks good and interesting, just... I don't know. I will try again one day, when it is (hopefully) collected.

*************************************

Alien/Cap - A good "end" to the story   but I am still amazed at how Cap avoided all the acid blood time and time again. All that said, this was enjoyable as hell and looking forward to more!!!
