I find great comics, buy original art, have dinner with legendary comic book creators, make a big mistake… and play live music? A strange day but an awesome one you absolutely have to see!

The smile on that little girl photo-bombing you two made my day❤
Loved you letting us see you sing in Church. Voice of an angel or heavenly chipmunk.
Also nice pick ups. Always love seeing the new fantastic four team issue with hulk, Spidey, ghost rider and wolverine.
I've been watching this channel for 5hrs straight
@@the.stin06 haha that’s awesome, thanks!
Wow some Great Artist there
I'd like to hear your church stuff on its own channel, lunch money music perhaps.
13:50 Just coasting past a Weird Science Fantasy #29 with Frazetta's greatest cover like it was nothing! ;) Seeing that book raw in a box and not slabbed on a wall is incredibly rare these days.
Love your channel , keep up the great work.
I have 10 issues of the Daily Bugle Civil War issues 4-12 & 16 (which has first red hulk on cover) got them all when they came out. Wish I had 1-3 !!
Sounds like a fun (and tiring) comic book day. Hope to see you at Terrificon!
I’ll definitely see you at Mohegan Jim!
Ha! Good luck getting good deals on books being all dressed up!
CIVIL WAR # 7... Yeesh, bad ending!!
Always trying to keep my spending down. Watching the places and the deals, it definitely gives me a guide. Keep up the good work.
I wish I could get awesome comics like those for a dollar! Love the content keep it up!❤
Crap! I don't know how I missed you! I was there until just before 4!! Didn't realize you were coming back! Magic Geeks were awesome to chat with! Bought a lot from many of the same people you featured here! So many talents! That Spider Man comic looks killer! Will have to be on the lookout for that !! So cool that you do the music gigs! Loved seeing that!( even at 2x speed! LOL) The show was definitely worth the 2.5 hour drive!! Hope I am able to make another one this summer in you area! Having one up here end of the month! I know at least one vendor there will be here!( Enterprize). Can't wait for the next adventure you takes us on!!
Bummer I missed you, I think I waltzed back in at like 3:40. Thanks for the great comment, happy you enjoyed the video!
Awesome video Mike! Keep up the great content! May want to check the hologram on that Wolverine#75, looks like the rare blue error version.
It was actually, good eye!
Good Evening michael
That was a great day and great coverage of the con. Fantastic building, so pleased to see tese great buildings go on and on. Just one question I couldn't tell for sure, was te bishop tapping his foot to your music?
I have watched you channel since the very first episode and I find the growth and coverage of the LMC story very entertaining. I am sure you have many vieweres like myself that have no opportunity to attend anything like these wonderful shows, Keep growing keep taking us on your journey.
Cheers Al TheGoldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
Haha good eye Alan, our local bishop was indeed there. As for the foot tapping, I may never know. Thanks for always watching and responding, I truly look forward to reading your comments on every upload!
Another amazing video. You’re winning TH-cam my friend!! Will you get the heroes for hope completed with signatures slabbed or something to display it easily. Amazing piece
I think I feel same as you, shows with friends are fun, but hunting in the wild is most exciting
Amazing original art! Cool stuff. :)
Another great episode... thanks for sharing! :)
Man, you have so many great shops and shows in your area. I am jealous, but mostly happy for you. Mostly...
It's New England/Northeast , there's almost too many shows here, too many dealers, too much competition for collections
@@User8vfjhejfI'm sure it has its downsides, but where I am, I feel lucky to have an LCS for new books and one vintage shop for older stuff. When I see you Northeast guys going to multiple shops and having shows every other weekend, I am amazed. It's really cool.
@@HaulYeahComics here in the UK there are no decent comic shops it's appalling.I have to rely on comic marts and eBay.
@@hemantpatel2215 You have my deepest sympathies. Are there at least the occasional conventions you can go to?
Fantastic video. Your storytelling chops and passion for comics are on display! Thanks again for the Bizarre Adventures, buddy.
I have All 7 Civil war issues signed by Dexter Vines and issue 1b (directors cut) signed by Mark Millar. We used to have a large weekend comic con in London and had a lot of well known artists , writers and inkers present. Got comics signed by Tom Palmer, Neal Adams, Herb Trimpe , Roy Thomas , just to name a few. Really miss the cons now, we don’t get so many big names anymore
Comic shop and bar in one. My kinda place! Looked awesome
Really enjoying all your posts and looked like it was a great show and time!
Fantastic Four 348 is my absolute favorite cover!!! I grab it anytime I find it!!! I'm hoping to meet Arthur Adams at New York Comic Con this year!!! I even created
a t-shirt design with the FF 348 cover art specifically for NYCC!!! Now I'm gonna have to rewatch this video because I was so busy writing this comment!!! 🤣
Great video!!!
Always enjoy your videos and sharing of comic book knowledge. I've looked over so many books because I didn't know. Im looking forward to Heroescon this weekend in Charlotte, NC. Full of artist, writers and cheaters. But...I think Sam Alexander's first appearance is Marvel Point One #1 from 2011...historically. Nova #1 his his first ....chronologically. Heck if I know what the difference is.
You are in for a wild ride with The Sandman. There are a few mini series that are worth it, too. I'll let you discover them. Definitely 50% of the fun of comic collecting. 🫡
Yep MR. Necktie Mike your gonna get ragged!! Sorry I couldn't hear any of the numbers... I have a comics-buddy in AL who plays in church & is working on an album...Best of Luck on the tail-end of the show!!
Today is national iced tea day and national frosted cookie day and national egg roll day 😊❤❤❤
I have a couple of those daily bugle "newspapers". One was the assassination of Captain America and the one with Secret Wars(I call it secret wars 3).
Finding Fantastic Four #353 for a buck is a steal. Price floor on eBay is $12 (not including shipping). Love minor keys. Great finds.
"Raised as a Baby By Cable? " Gee, child abuse much... I think ALL STAR BATMAN'S Robin got a better break...!!
Hey made it into a LMC vid lol. Was a great day between His & Her and the Show I added a ton to my Punisher collection. Got my giant TMNT poster of issue #4 signed by Dooney.
Great video. You better watch you may catch the Neil Gaiman bug. It can be worse than Dave Stevens collecting bug.
I love the civil War story I collected all the books. One thing neat about the newspaper is there was also a comic called Frontline which was in a journalistic style following and talking about events that happened in civil War... very cool. A very good show and I know what it's like to rush between things that you're interested in all in the same day. I played many a church gig in my younger days. One thing about playing music is I found no matter how tired or run down you are feeling when you get to the performance you get energized maybe it's the adrenaline maybe it's the love of playing music. I've been collecting covers of Fable that have trumpets on them that's kind of cool collecting interest of mine. Mike I said it before and I'll say it again you're a comic book rockstar.
Thanks Steve!
Another gem of a video! You have inspired me to venture out to these events/conventions more. Heading to FanExpo this weekend. Hope to see you there!
Great video as always. That issue of Sandman is a classic and I was even more impressed when the Netflix series did a good, faithful adaption of it!
As someone who just got back into turtles I’m so jealous of the western Mass comic scene. Out here in Utah the comic scene is limited already but there is no turtles stuff
You always have fun. You are living a great life. We enjoy watching you. Are u logging those in CLZ?
I subscribed because of the comics on your wall, you have great taste!
Thank you!
Awesome video Mike and Cool comics and my favorite turtle is Leonardo as well
Rick Parker's also did letters for Marvel's original Star Wars series in 1977.
Really fun video. The golden age books I spotted in those bins were wonderful. Also, can’t wait hear what you think of last ronin. Freaking awesome story.
The story is awesome, but I only have the first issue! Have to get the rest!
@@lunchmoneycomics if you have a target near you they have the hard cover for cheap.
That artist you mentioned Gary Smith, his art reminds me of the artwork in star wars: dark empire, back in the 90s. I loved that artwork and Gary's look great!
i cant help myself tmnt fan for life, so i quess the last ronin.
Great video mike. Your comic knowledge is insane. Blows my mind everytime I watch one of your videos. Thanks for taking us along for the journey!
Hey Mike! Been enjoying your videos for some time now! Great work great content! During the summer I live in Northwestern CT (near Great Barrington). I had an Avengers 1 pop into my lap just today! What!? Yup! Cost? Nothing. It was mine from when I was a kid and it was returned to me after 50+ years. It needs a pressing, etc. and I was hoping you could advise as to where in our area a good reliable place would be. I have my guy down in SC, but I won't see hi until September :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (sorry for the diatribe)
Definitely contact Comic Spa, I think Jeff is the best in the area and works on big books like that all the time. You can email him at ComicSpa13@gmail.com
This was a really fun show! I was able to grab 30 comics from the dollar bins during that opening scrum at His & Hers (and stopped back in after the show to get a couple of the minor wall books from Nachon.) At the show I bought a copy of Ben Toz's book and a whole bunch of issues for my Defenders and Doctor Strange runs. Went through the entire amount I had budgeted for the day. And it was good to finally be able to say hi to you, Mike. I will definitely be making it to next year's show! - Mark C.
Great meeting you Mark, happy you got some good stuff and had a great time!
So many times I watch you crawl through a con, and I'm like, hey, can you grab that [insert good deal here] for me? It must be very satisfying to be located near such a nexus of comic-culture events. I git really nice Sandman #8 slab to go up on my wall a week or two ago, incidentally.
Yes I feel very lucky to live in such a great area, not just for comics but also in general
I can sympathize. I play bass and sing in a small group at church, too. Occasionally, we play at other churches. No wonder I think of you as a kindred spirit!
I used to play bass most of the time, but then we kept losing piano players so I got relegated to main accompanyment
Hey Mike. Isn’t that Wolverine 75you got with the Holo the blue error version. It sure looked blue to me. Maybe it is just the video lighting. But might be worth checking out. Jess
Yes it is!
A few years ago I traded my marvel cards away and now thanks to you I am having just as much fun now trying to get them back. Thank you!
I wish I could have made that show. Next year I need to take time off of work on Monday. Nice pickups…and I haven’t read those books either…😮
It was a lot of shows for one weekend, but I hope to see you in Greenfield next year!
It was great having you at the dinner with the boys this time around, and talking shop. Next time get the garlic parm wings like i did lol.
lol those smelled amazing!
Lesson learned! Bring Heroes for Home signed issue everywhere you go! Even when shredding! Haha!
Tell me about it!
i liked this different thing you did on this video, on the sandman bit, talking about the story of the books, its nice to ear a short review of the plot to see if were intrested or not to start reading! keep up
Thanks, I’m trying to do more of that!
how much was admission? great little show. love these
$5
Dude awesome video! I loved the little snips of you singing at church and waiting in the elevator(I thought that was hilarious😂). The show looked amazing and the after dinner looked like fun. Very cool pickups congrats on adding all of that to your collection!!
Thanks Noah, you should come check this show out next year!
@@lunchmoneycomics I will definitely keep a lookout for the next one!!
Ah great vid, rockin the Ovation i see.... nice I got a Glen Campbell signature series, never gona sell it. Sold a Ovation many years ago, sellers regret!, then would occasionally run into that distinct sound (helicopter, propeller blade teck/plastic), ha ha 🤣randomly over the years /nothing like it, had to get another a few years back; now a permanent part of the collection. 👍 -Cheers
Haha good eyes! Yeah the ovation is perfect for church and studio stuff but it’s over 20 years old at this point so I’m thinking of a replacement
@@lunchmoneycomics AH hear that, one thing they say though about tone wood in instruments (have watched a few documentary's on the subject) is that the instrument only gets better over time. A example would be I have seen a few guitar players who play the blues and there sporting a Gibson from the 1930's they just cant get enough of that instrument (picture a old rickity/beat up, with dings, scratches) and the musician is just top notch, but he just love's that aged instrument 🤷♂. Not trying to tell you what do , but if its still structurally holding together, just think of all that love and joy put into it,(if you believe in that kinda thing) just sayin... Anyway great channel, really entertaining. -Cheers
For the algorithm
Now honestly, Mike How many people asked you, "Who passed away?"
Haha no one I don’t think
Is that dooney art in the thumb...guess I should watch before commenting haha...I definitely miss being close to NE ...
Haha you nailed it though!
@@lunchmoneycomics ..those Mirage era turtles artists have such distinctive art styles .. ..Jim and Kathy are fantastic people, Infact I have to say all the Mirage folks are always very gracious..In all my ...35ish years of collecting spacificly turtles, ive never had a bad interaction with any of them...I love shows like that. NE is definitely an independent comic books fan wonderland.
Enjoyed the show and running into not only you Mike but so many people we know. I also wanted to be there to support our good buddy Ben Toz. He had a table and was promoting his book “Freedom Edge”. Fantastic artist and writer if I might add. As for comics I only picked up a couple of books drawn by Adam Hughes. Turned out to be a great day!
I bought Freedom Edge from Ben Toz, his book is amazing! The storytelling, the art, the characters; I’m not done reading it, are incredible!
Mike, next time you gotta say "AMAZING FANTASY 15, I never read that... Maybe you can do this again!!
It sounds like you should have stayed at that comic shop longer than 10 minutes if they got such a large collection in and everything was only a dollar. I cannot imagine that it was cleaned of all the keys. There must’ve been much more to find.
Hope that Spidey-Strange cover was a One-Shot... long, long title...!!
Right on dude, been watching since you started the channel, not the least bit surprised that you're a talented musician, rock on. ❤
The Freedom's Edge guy is standing like Cutter from ELFQUEST!!
LMC, the walking comic show encyclopedia. That TMNT art is wonderful!
here first
Dinosaur book was the first tva i think
Sure was, guy next to me wanted it so I gave it up
@@lunchmoneycomics he saw that quick
Neat CIVIL WAR promo piece!!
Love Michael Dooney! So jealous!
I remember when there was just a few of us.
Mike did you get magneto toy of the XMen.
Not yet
I went to the show once and it sucked.
