Wednesday, the best day of the week, new comic book day. It is like your birthday in the middle of each week (well, one where you buy your own presents.)
We open things up to hear from you. A free for all.
The 109th edition of the open forum!
No Politics, All Comics
“Don’t mess with my Wednesdays”.
As always we also want to hear about your weekly pickups.
So, What were your pick ups?
What had disappeared off the shelves?
What was sitting on the shelves?

World of Wakanda #1
And the first Harley Quinn action figure from Kenner unopened mint.
Hulk 173?
Here’s a photo courtesy of cbsi on this cool find. Iron Fist is touted as a new character speaking in Foom!
I also grabbed a copy of WW 151 for the Dr. Poison appearance. Not sure if people will want it, but it seems like it has a chance in part because of the AH cover.
For the Hulk #173, that is awesome! I enjoy quirky things like that! I doubt having a floating head of Iron fist screaming “show us what you got” in Foom Gibberish will amount to a huge investment potential, but the cool factor is up there!

This is NOT at all comic related……but there may be some spec potential to it. Newsweek released a special election issue with Hillary Clinton on the cover saying Madame President, saw on the news earlier that they are being recalled. I just got myself a couple from Barnes and Noble.
I saw that. Lol. This is not the first time that has happened. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575053800&toolid=10001&campid=5337366000&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fm.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3DNewsweek%2Bpresident%2BHillary%2BClinton%26isNewKw%3D1%26isRefine%3Dtrue%26mfs%3DGOCLK%26acimp%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp2056088.m2428.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xnewsweek%2Bpresident%2Bhillary%2Bclinton%26sqp%3Dnewsweek%2Bpresident%2Bhillary%2Bclinton to check out the issue he is talking about.
