A few amazing sales at some comic stores today. At "Alternate Reality Comics" their one dollar bins were converted into 25-cent bins for a few hours. They also had a girl dressed in a skintight Phoenix costume to seal the deal. At "Cosmic Comics" they were discounting a ton of trades at 70% off. Not just crap stuff, either, stuff like "Incredible Herc" hardcovers and Waid "Fantastic Four" trades. I ended up spending 20 dollars and ending up with the equivalent of about 100 random comics.
I also went to "Tim Boald's Comic Oasis" to find some key Cassandra Cain appearances outside of her own series; I'm finally getting to making those Batgirl omnibuses I've been dithering about for years. 7 specific issues cost $21, and I've still got 12 to go, assuming I have a complete list right now. Oy.
The point is, the cost of a comic is directly correlated with its specificity.
UPDATE: Yep, after buying from various online sources, all seventeen issues add up to around sixty bucks. I guess that's about cover price + tax, but that's bordering on a ridiculous amount of money to pay for back issues. I hope I don't need any more.
