DC’s Future State starts this week. Lots of books to check out.

The One and Done

So before last week I asked my LCS if they could get me 2 copies of the Spider-Man with the cpgrewt cover (lol not for the story because it’s bad) & they said ok…come Wednesday I’m looking for my 2nd copy, none on the shelves of course & the owner says “these are selling for $25 on eBay” so this week I ask “did you get the spawn Crossover #3 cover? & would you believe they didn’t? Idk if I believe it…so now I suspect about the SW High Republic…at this point I feel I have to pay in advance
