Looking for comics

I'm used to read some comic books in english, and I sometimes ordered things that interested me from a shop in the north of France (my country...). I did like this for years, and It worked very well. However, the shop died a couple of weeks ago, and the guy gave me another address if I needed to order things. But this other shop wants to charge me 7€90 for the shipping of TWO (2) comics! :tantrum:

So I was wondering if somebody from UK could get me the books and send it to me, by any chance...

Send me a PM if you think you can help! Thanks!

Are these new ones? or old comics?

I can't get to my local comic store anymore 12 miles from where i work through 2 city centres, but I might have some of what you are after if it is old ones.

gi6ers

ditto let us know what you are after..

Chrysalis

Oh those are new Marvel ones (from november the 21 I think):

- Thunderbolts: Breaking Point.
- What If: Annihilation.

Thye are really cheap, about 3$ each, but I have a hard time getting them here...

Have you tried these?

or someone like them?

Good idea, I don't know why I didn't try earlier. Maybe I was afraid of the shipping fees...But in fact I went on:

And found what I wanted with only 1£92 for shipping...

So I guess the topic can be closed  :icon_thumleft:

I am curious now, who else reads comics? I do mostly marvel stuff.

I read mostly Marvel too. I'm a huge fan of the Thunderbolts, and I enjoy Iron Man as well as Captain America.

I also like to read some DC too: Kingdom Come and Red Son are among my favorite. My brother also offered a huge Crisis on Infinite Earth binding for my birthday, I found it good too.

I'm also getting the Hellboy books slowly but surely...

I'm still shocked they killed Cap. I do like that nothing is sacred and there seem to be plenty of new ideas coming out of them.

The most annoying thing about dead people in comics is that they never stay dead for very long...

If a death was once for all, they would think of it twice before really killing a character. Today ther are too many characters dying and coming back, sometimes without the tiniest explanation...
However, I was also shocked about Cap's death.

Now .. nope, I can't get them easily after I got made redundant from the comics and RPG shop I ran.

I won't give him any of my cash any more, and there is no one locally, So I just pick up the occasional Graphic novel

Hellboy
Dawn

dark Horse titles, and Vertigo tiles.

I can't get the indie stuff I used to like.

Custom_Hobby

Just let me know which ones you like and I can mail them to you from here.

Me?

the problem with Indie stuff is it is short runs.... so you need to know the artist and /or writer before you get it. As I no longer spend hours pawing over the pre releases catalogues to fill customer orders, i don't know what is released.

i used to read evil ernie stuff and spiderman

i have loads of the old tales of suspense marvel from the 60's.

loads of 1st appearances of heroes and villains ( i have a 1st iron man and silver age cap america :icon_wink:)

Medved get those old ones graded and sealed away in a protective box for safe keeping.
