Flip Through the Dollar Bin

There’s something special about those musty old comic shops — the creak of the long boxes, the smell of aging paper, and the certainty that if you dig long enough, you’ll find something great. Maybe it’s a forgotten storyline, a creator you’ve never heard of, or the issue that sparks a whole new obsession.

That sense of shared discovery is what this space is built around. This isn’t just a place to catalog comics — it’s a place to talk about them. Join reader groups, swap recommendations, and share reactions with people who love the hunt as much as you do. Conversations can live wherever they make the most sense, whether that’s a specific issue, a full series, or the book you just finished.

And because great finds aren’t limited to floppies, you can now search for books too — making it easier than ever to jump between single issues, collected editions, and the broader stories they connect to.

So pull up a long box, start exploring, and join the conversation. The best part of the hobby has always been the people you share it with — this is just a new place to do it.

And that's the toughest question to answer, far tougher than "Why did you load the dishwasher this way?" or "Did you not see these socks that missed the laundry hamper?"

    Why do I collect comics? Let me hit you first with nostalgia...

    Has this week tranformed you into a raging monster?

    Maybe it's time to sit back, take a moment, and see if there's a fun comic in your collection that you haven't read yet.
