Let's see if they have anything good...

So I was in Richardson, TX this week on business. The Summit I attended had ended and I had a few hours until my flight was scheduled to depart. Let's see, what can I do for an hour?

I was telling a coworker who lives in the area that the rental car return at DFW airport is a pain to find. He agreed, but said I should have no trouble if I used the voice guided feature on Google maps. Downloaded the app to my iPhone and it did work great. Before heading to the airport though I tested it by visiting a LCS, Comics Asylum. The app didnt steer me wrong and I arrived at my destination with no problem.

The employees were a bit stand offish but overall they didnt seem too bad. After browsing their selection of back issues for awhile I decided to pick up Cable and Deadpool TPB Vol 1 for my youngest as he is a big Deadpool fan. Read it on the plane ride home, it wasnt bad. When I asked the clerk about Silver and Bronze Age back issues he pointed me to 2 boxes which I thought were all DC only. Turns out the DC and Marvel were mixed so I had fun browsing through those and found a few issues that would go home with me. Nothing high grade of course but I'm happy to add these to my collection of reading copies.

I bought 1 issue of Sub Mariner and two issues from the Xmen reprint days. I told the store manager that I didnt like paying for the Xmen books because they were reprints and I already knew the stories, but I was a completest and was working on an Xmen 1-544 run. He was sympathetic and knocked a few bucks off each issue.

All in all, a good trip, and scored some unexpected comics as an added bonus!

Til next time...
