A couple hours ago, she dropped off a card, a hardshell for my 3DS, and a copy of Zelda OoT 3D. It won't be my birthday for another two weeks, and I'm going to see her at least twice before then. I don't know why she thinks my bithday is today!

Oh, and the hardshell is scratched.

And inside the case of Zelda is Lego Star Wars III and two damaged DS games (Prince of Persia and Need for Speed Underground) in a used plastic baggie.

She really is the best person.

I appreciate that, Halo.

For reference, here was my Christmas gift from her, minus the keychain:

That copy of Heathcliff is missing pages, btw.

His entire series plus some Superman crossover you just posted.

http://www.amazon.com/Showcase-Presents-Booster-Gold-Vol/dp/1401216552/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1334295259&sr=8-3

A must buy.

If your comic shop has a copy it's probably cheaper. Mine was $10 in store.

My shop doesn't really keep many Showcase in stock because they just take up space. I was talking to the owner last year when the Dazzler Essential second volume came out and he said it outsold every Showcase not Batman or Superman related. It's weird! Their DC sales are fine, and the Chronicles sell well, but no one wants to buy black and white DC comics.

That's a shame. Dr. No's had a full wooden rack (about 6 feet wide, 4 shelves down, both sides) full of nothing but Showcases and similar collections, and they always keep them in stock. It's pretty cool. All the Green Lantern stuff is marked up though, unfortunately. GL in general seems to sell better than anything else here, though, including Batman. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Also that's not really the Showcase cover...sort of.

There's only one scene in the whole book where having no color effects anything. A scene where Booster's costume is changing back from being black and white to in color. And instead it's stays black and white and it's the same 3 panels in a row. It was fairly hilarious.

One looks much bigger!

Golden Age are well stocked in Essentials and Chronicles (the latter sell out really fast - I need to order Green Lantern Volume 4, bleh), but the two things that Golden Age essentially stopped stocking to make room for manga are Showcase and Ultimate Spider-Man trades.

The manga section is the left half of the store, which also contains board games, books, toys, used/clearance comics, and the card game tables and the like. The whole right half is comics, and that seems to be about 2 times bigger than your store alone unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that no one that makes comments like that has a sister. It's pretty much unthinkable when you grow up with one.

I have a sister, but she's 14 years older than me and we didn't really 'grow up together' because she moved out when I was 3. Also, she's ugly. <.<

Yeah, it really has nothing to do with the blood relation. It's more due to the growing up together part.
