intro, part deux

so, how exactly shall i go about this project of awesomery? clearly, i first need a list of all the places that sell comics. glad we got that out of the way. now we need to figure out what the criteria are. clearly, i'm interested in availability. to be truly loved by me, you need to have what i want when i want it. and pay me the respect i deserve for being an adorable female who knows her shit, but not be all creepy in your adoration. no one wants your drool on their comics. and atmosphere - oh how important you are. even if DC was capable of sending me the comics i subscribed to in a timely and consistent fashion, i would still miss the experience of huddling with the masses and eagerly anticipating if this week's treasures would meet our expectations.

now, to be thoroughly thorough, i should visit every comic book store on every day and at different times of each day. the thought of doing all that makes me want to puke. occasionally, i'll need to do other things. like eat. bathe. sleep. read the bloody comics i purchased. so, hate to say it - but chances are, most comic stores are going to have just one shot at leaving me with a favorable impression. oh, that sounds so mean. ok, everyone gets two chances. i can eat on the way there.

and, if i really want to be fair, i suppose i should learn something about marvel comics so that i can properly evaluate the stores with regards to them as well. who am i kidding? i could care less about marvel! yeah, 2 out of every 3 movies they make are awesome, but what the heck does that matter?! i am really only interested in batman and his fellow batters. i'm not even really that interested in the rest of the DC universe (DCU) except for how they influence the bat-fam. i am incredibly picky when it comes to my comics. i like them how i like my tea: dark and brewding.

i promise to never be that lame again.

suggestions I would make:
a) go on Wednesdays (New Comic Day)
b) take me with you
