Is that enough for you to choose from?

Usually I like to hit up a number of stores in Richmond but this year I will only be going to Velocity Comics as I have plans for the rest of the day.

The books I am leaning towards are:

"Hellboy/Stranger Things," Dark Horse Comics


"Mad FCBD Special Edition" DC


"Archie Horror Presents: The Cursed Library Prelude," Archie Comics


I will probably be taking advantage of their sale prices to pick up a few other things. Don't know what, I will just let the feeling take me.

The Ninja Turtles FCBD book is my primary target.

However, I likely won't be able to make it on Saturday. So likely will have to pick it up at a later date from somewhere.

Gotta split time between FCBD and the Star Wars Day event at the library.

Should be hitting up Richmond Comix...not sure if I'll be able to fit anything else in. Somehow I manage to live in a place where store A is 30 minutes away from me, store B is 30 minutes away from me, and somehow those stores are 30 minutes away from each other.

Since I get my main selection from DCBS, I let the kids pick whatever, and I don't have to worry about what they do afterwards. I figure they'll be interested in the Spidey and Pokemon comics.
