Since I go to school in the city I have to switch up where I get my comics from sometimes. My worst experiences are usually at the shop here in the city. It's a great store but there this one regular there who is smelly enough that I have to wait for him to clear an area before I can grab my issues there. Also it's super awkard whenever a girl walks into the store there. You'd think the universe halted.

My worst experience was when the comic book shop I was going to shrank from the inside. How is that done? I'll tell ya how. The owner was a sculptor of mini-creaures like Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, etc., and he would display his stuff at the store. Ok, cool, no big deal. Well, it was weird seeing the focus on comics shrink over time. The comic book section got smaller and smaller while he placed more and more emphasis on sculptures (his, and others). One day I walked in to look over the new releases for stuff that wasn't pulled (he started slacking on that too, different story) and I couldn't see any comics. "Where's the comics", I asked. "over there in the back", comic dude replied. And in the very back against the wall, in a corner was a super small section for comics. I mean 4' X 5'. This place used to be literally wall to wall, walk -in mazes of comic books. I thought, this sisn't a comic book shop anymore. I left that day after 2 years and never went back. It was a really depressing thing to see. Buried waaay back in the corner, there's the comics. Ugh. The shop basically imploded and it's been gone for a few years now.

My worst experience in a comic shop was in Halifax. This store was owned by a LARGE gentleman...seriously, like 400lbs or so. I remember kids having to scramble out of the way when he came down the tiny little aisles... at one point, we actually climbed up on the boxes of back issues to make room. The guy was always really nice to us kids and the shop was great, despite the occasional brush with death.

I don’t know why I didn’t notice this before, but why do you have books on the show that you don’t plan to review? I just assumed that the books that were on the table were the ones that were going to be reviewed on the show. But today I noticed that there was a copy of The Boys #16 on the table, and nobody said anything about it. What’s up with that?

Comic Shop story: I get my comics through a mail order company, but one time I accidentally forgot to order a book, so I went to my local comics shop to pick it up. When I got there, there were several other people in the shop. The guy working there starts grilling me in front of everybody about why I don't buy my regular comics there. Which would not have been so bad but I wound up telling all of these people about the tremendous discount I was getting through the mail order service that the shop couldn't match. I felt bad because I didn't want the shop to lose business, but the guy wouldn't drop it!

You guys recently switched the background in the viewer mail section of the show. Has anyone noticed or mentioned that the spinning globe background has the globe spinning the WRONG WAY? In the words of Fozzie the Bear in The Muppet Movie, "Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the west!" Sorry to be so picky, but its just something that jumps out at me each time I see it.

now you're just showing off.

My worst comic store experience was when I went into buy some comics especially all X-Men related titles and this guy so amazed that I was a girl left his counter and tried to explain to me what I was looking at. He talked to me like I was a little kid even though I am 25. I took a lot of pleasure in correcting his "knowledge" about the Marvel Universe so much. He just stared there dumbfound until I told him to ring me up.

I for one am thrilled that Wonder Woman and her new boyfriend will be using their device a lot.

One time I went into a comic book store with my friend and they honestly had a security guard. I opened the door and walked past him because he looked like he was on his way and out and he stopped me and aked if I was going to shut the door. They had tons of toys and old collectibles everywhere. You could hardly move around and everything was overpriced. If a new comic sat around for a week they put it in a bag and board and sold it for a dollar more. Very lame.

My worst experience was the first comic shop I started collecting at. It was in Hamilton, Canada. All I cared about was getting my books, it was the only place around. The worst part of it was the smell. It was like you had to never take showers to work there. They also ripped as many kids off as they could with those magic cards. This lead to having pissed off parents coming in all the time. It wasnt until recently I discovered that these two things werent prerequisites for a comic shop. They actually can be clean well lit and even want your business

One time i had my grandmother drive me to the store and she said a little bit to loudly that the other people inside looked like "losers"

My worst comic book store was that wednesday last year that X-Men #200 came out, we have this chain of stores named comicastle, and that day, even though it is a big store the place was packed, they usually make this big fuzz every week when comics come out (since they arrive from USA, the new titles are put out at around 8 o'clock) they divide a section of the store with blue velvet drapes (?) and when thy open it's every man for his own an when the curtains open, I kneel down to pick up my X-Men copy and some kid just rips it from my hands and starts some sh*t, so, well, I stand up straight (I'm six feet and six inches tall) and was forced to punch this guy, I didn't get in trouble though because I am a regular and well, this kid started it. Anyway, I think that the Twelve along with the X-titles are the best thing Marvel is putting out at the moment!

great show you guys. probably the funniest one ive seen so far this 2008. avengers and hansel and gretel would be so much cooler than peter friggin pan. or maybe avengers and the three little pigs...hmm

my problems with reading comprehension and literary translation are a very inconvienient curse... but word jumbles are made for fun, knock yourself out..... Thanks guys it's great to here from people who have really immersed themselves in this intricete obscure artistic culture. My guess, as nieve i am about this unique art genre, for the reason why I wasn't so exposed to this was probably because it was shrouded by an overbearing fog of psycedelic drugs and an abrupt explosion of artistic germination and precipitation. I was wondering if mabye you guys would be able to intruduce me to a couple websites, graphic novels, and comics that might give me a nudge into this whole western and eastern stylisim stuff. So far i've discovered some REVOLUTIONARY graphic novels from Alan Moore, I've stumbled apon a gold mine of stuff from Frank Miller...yet i feel i'm leaveing out to the comic essentials and pioneers of this hard boiled/pulp/noir thing i've been trailing on. Once again much appriciated

Great show. 3 times a week is a must now, because we've all gotten use to it. I go to the best comic shop in Canada (Yea Alex Canada rocks), it's in Toronto on Queen St. It's called the Silver Snail. All the new comics cost what is written in for the US, but in Canada dollars.

Great show. 3x a week is the Bomb shit! I don't any bad comic shop experiences. But my best is at a comic shop in Asheville NC. Three weeks after BND hit I was at the shop picking GL hardcovers. About four weeks earlier, we're talking about OMB, and I said I'd didn't like the way it ended, but the owner was super excited because he's never liked Pete and MJ together. I said I'd give it a few issue to see.So anyway, I going to checkout and he ask if I read BND. I say no and I GIVES me the frist three issuse and says If I don't like it don't Bay any more.

Definitely 3 (or more) episodes of The Stack per week! Question: Like the speculator market boom and crash of the 90's, is there any event or gimmick or ANYTHING that would drive you away for comics for a long time if not for good?

I love the Westside Story commercial. Justin must give Pete some dancing lessons. I haven't given Wonder Woman a try in a while. Maybe I will now.

One of these days Pete is going to go off on those guys. Could get ugly. I enjoy Pete's comments as he is somewhat a pessimist. I still don't understand why Justin knocked off Pete's hat 2 shows ago. Do any of you know the best place to buy comics online?

Justin and Alex busting on Pete from the 'cereal' comments on was hilarious!! :)

sorry but the end league sucks ass.

I feel that Alex is rating comics for his best interest.. It seems like he is just trying to get on the good sides of the publishers by giving good reviews for shitty comics.

What do you guys think is going to happen with Final Crisis? Deaths...new Earths...mergers (again)? Now that we are aproaching the end of Countdown..its nerve racking thinking what is going to happen.

My worst experience in a comic shop happened not because of anything about the store, but because of my friend who was with me. The was a pretty girl there and he attempted to hide his geekyness by saying out loud, "The shit is for dorks. I don't read this, this is for geeks." The thing is, HE'S the one that wanted me to take him to the comic shop. He wanted to check out the Star Wars comics. He is a huge Star Wars geek. He researched everything he could about the Star Wars universe on the Internet. He even likes Jar-Jar Binks!? He wrote in to Supershadow about why Jar-Jar is misunderstood. That was totally embarrassing, and really weak shit on his part.

Three shows a week gives me more of a reason to live. Worst comic book store experience: I worked at a comic book store on St. Marks in Manhattan... I won't name the store, but it was on ST. MARKS. The store is pretty infamous for never having the air condition on, and I was employed there during one of the hottest summers in New York. One day, after shelving comics, and lugging long boxes, I stopped to wipe sweat off my face with a paper towel, my boss came up to me and said, "(Blank) employees do not sweat. So try not to sweat, because it makes the customers uncomfortable."

My worst comic shop experience was at a store in Thorton, CO. The store is about 300 mi. from where I live and I took my entire IRS Return (almost 00.00) to spend in Denver and blow on comics. When I walked into the store there was some guy eating a bowl of chili at the counter. I asked him where I could locate back issues of FF and he dirested me to an area of the store. I had my list with me and located about 80% of the issues I needed. I took my list back to the guy and the counter who was now stuffing his face with a ding dong and talking on his cell phone. I put my list on the counter and he told the person on the cell phone to hang on a minute. He asked me "what do you want?", not may I help you or anything remotely helpful. I told him I would like to buy these books on my list and what is his best price? Now get this, the guy tells me the best price is already on the comic and went back to talking on his cell phone! I picked up my list, left the store and had a wonderful weekend shopping in Denver. I ended up spending almost 00.00 on Ebay buying books while this guy wouldn't even look at my list! Love your shows. Wish you would do an "old School" spot on Silver Age comics.

Great episode again. Digging the 3 shows this week idea. My worst experience is one time I walked into a store and all they had were back issues. I asked where all of the new issues were and the guy told me that they don't get new issues anymore. They were making anything on new issues, so he started carrying only...get this...pokeman cards. The store has sinced closed.

I've always had an amazing experience at the Silver Snail in Toronto, Canada. My worst experience in my life has been at the shop in Niagara Falls, Canada.

Good reviews, I think you guys hit the ball on everything you did...Weird, usually I get nothing out of them lol No, seriously, Wonder Woman has been great since Simone took over as writer. Alex you discussed it with me during the 'Why is Wonder Woman is so awful?' stuff from the letter's page and your Worst of 2007 show. Now that she has an idenity, and now that she has villians that arent one-shot or lame...The series should thrive no matter how long Simone is on the series. My worst comic book store experience would be going to a big store near a Wal-Mart. I open the door, and what to my surprise?: A huge Doberman Retriver looking right at me...Well after worrying for a couple of mins on it was going to bite me, I looked around and saw nothing of interest...So I wasted my time and almost got Rabies.

Guys I'm loving this 3 shows a week deal, let's keep it goin!

As allway a very good show. From TV to books WONDER WOMAN had boyfriends and in love too.

Awesome episode as always, but as usual, Pete gets verbally raped again. If you make one mistake, Alex and Justin won't let you forget.
