I just found that there is a new comics shop about 20 minutes (by bus) from where I live. The books are about a month behind and cost more than the cover price but they are the real deal. The owner is cool and he's a Hulk fan like me. I couldn't believe the place was actually there.
I was walking with me goil to meet a friend for dinner and BLAM! a comics shop. I went in just in awe for a few minutes. My girl wasn't happy that I spent "a lot of money" buying one comic, but what does she know. I couldn't wait to get home and read that comic in my favorite reading place (hehehe). Anway, I'm back in the game.....HAHAHAHAHAHWHWHWHWHWHAHAHWHAHAHWAHWHAHHWWAH!!!!!!!!!
I read Batman & the Outsiders...a good read. 4/5
Awesome! That's great, man!
Hey hey! The world is definitely getting smaller. ^_^ Congrats man!
Wow!
i'd love to have a western comic shop in Korea.
Which city do you live in thalaw2?
I just got back from a trip in Beijing not 2 hours ago... and they bumped me up to business class for the flight back :D
How expensive were the comics? was it much of a markup from american prices?
I live in Suzhou, Jiangsu....about an hour north of Shanghai by bus or 35min by bullet train.
The price was 35RMB...that's roughly $5 US. The cover price is $2.99. The owner claims that his mark up is just what he's caused to ship them from the US to China. He also sales graphic novels. I finally have a reason to venture out of my little area (Suzhou Higher Education Town) to Downtown SIP (Suzhou Industrial Park).
EDIT: Next time any of you comes to China let me know!
