      Yeah key issues and Golden Age books are the best, they have pretty high prices on the wall books so I don't tend to grab those. I am always hunting for the best bargain regardless of the book.

    Great channel and videos. So much fun to see the comics books you obtain and your passion for comics. You buy a lot of comics consistently, I was wondering how you sell your comics. Aren't comics hard to sell and ship? Takes a lot of time. If you don't sell, you would need a warehouse to store them all, ha ha. Great videos, takes me back to my younger days of collecting comics in the 1980's as a teen.

    • @pop-comics
      @pop-comics  ปีที่แล้ว

      95% of my comic sales are just in my physical shop and not so much online. I tend to not like to sell things online due to the high labor costs.

  • @pionieresvizzero2224
    @pionieresvizzero2224 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I will say something very unpopular, but I find the American comics scene extremely sad, this is due to the lack of variability of the works produced given that the vast majority of these concern the world of superheroes, with this I don't mean to say that it is wrong in itself to create works on this topic, what I don't like is, as said before, that there is a very poor choice of genre/themes, so much so that in the USA the rule comics=superheroe now applies and that comics that don't concern superheroes are now l 'exception. Comics are a very powerful artistic medium that can span extremely different genres: from historical themes, to noir, to sophisticated science fiction, to social novels, etc... and to see that Americans cannot conceive that there could be something else to represent beyond outside of a masked hero is simply disheartening. This is why I consider French comics culture clearly superior to American culture.

    • @pop-comics
      @pop-comics  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is only if you focus on Marvel and DC, I personally love the wide selection of indi books. So many great comics on Image, Darkhorse, IDW etc. As someone outside the US market, you might not realize there is so much more out there. The cool thing is we get a bunch of the French translations so I can enjoy those as well.
