What $37 Gets You...
So today is my 37th birthday (which I'm proud to share with Lynda Barry) and every year I treat myself to some random back issues. There are only three rules I try to follow:
1) The comics have to be total impulse buys (not something off my want list, or stuff that I had been planning on getting anyway),
1) The comics have to be total impulse buys (not something off my want list, or stuff that I had been planning on getting anyway),
2) Comics only, no trade paperbacks or graphic novels, and
3) The total cost has to be under $37 (basically, my age).
Here's what I got this year at Midtown Comics (who, luckily for me, was having a 40% off all back issues sale):

You got ripped off, haha.
Yeah. Midtown is mostly mainstream stuff, so the pickings were slim. I would have preferred Time Machine on 14th St. but they were closed.
I thought Treehouse of Horrors was decent (though hardly top 10, like Jog), and those old Heavy Metals have some great stuff in them. The World's Finest I got solely for the Von Eeden art, but yeah, it kinda sucks.
