I walk into the local comics store every Wednesday, and most Wednesdays they either tell me they don't have anything I want to read or show me back issues/novels/random things they bought expecting to be able to sell them to me. I have an awful lot of Lovecraft memorabilia that's sitting on my shelf for no reason other than good will towards various comics shops. I feel some irrational guilt because I really like the Comic Book Guys and all the people I shoot the shit with when I stop by, but the industry... I think everything is great about comics but the comics industry.
