Will do! On an unrelated-to-comics note, if anyone has any suggestions on places to eat or things to do, feel free to PM me

Woo, got some nice traction and suggestions going! Thanks all. I had Mega City pinned, but not Gosh! so added that, along with Chaos City and Notting Hill. I added Piranha in case I happen to be in those neighborhoods (doubtful), but added notes that they were fine to miss, heh. Sadly, going to miss out on the chance to hit up the Comic Mart, since it's once a month and happening this weekend. Sucks; would've loved to attend that...but oh well. Kind of surprised given the size of the city that there's only...4? stores within the main city and a couple more on the outskirts, but I guess in a post-Covid world, it makes some sense that a few would close and switch to online. I remember a local store doing that in 2003 to ditch the overhead; some things never change! Yeah, I'm not expecting a ton from Forbidden Planet. From what I remember when I was last in London (which was...sheesh, almost 17 years ago?), it was mostly modern stuff and collectibles then. Basically no different from the NYC location. I'll pop into it, but I don't have great hopes of finding anything worthwhile. Back issue-wise, I'm basically just hoping for maybe some pence variant X-Mens, and if I can find them, Captain Britains cheaper than they tend to be when I come across them here in the US (with bonuses for 1 and 8). Nothing huge. With the X-Mens, when I travel internationally, I like to try to find a local language version of something X-related if I can, but anything else if I can't. For the UK...that means a pence variant, hehe. Or failing the pence X, I'd call some Captain Britains a win.

Hey all, tried searching to see if there was an old, existing thread but couldn't find any... Going to be in London for about a week and a half soon while the wife runs the London Marathon, and was looking for any recommendations on comic and retro/vintage toy stores to hit up. I already have Forbidden Planet on the list (though if one location is better than the others for back issues and goodies, let me know!), but otherwise, Google Maps wasn't being super helpful on finding vintage toy stores (if there even are any), and most of the other comic shops I was finding seemed to be mainly modern stock stores...so any advice would be great! Thanks in advance!

Argh, I'm going to be out of the country when this one starts, and will probably have trouble getting the first couple rounds in...gonna have to sit this one out. Until next time, and good luck to all those participating!

After sleeping on it when it was first getting released (and given it's long delays between arcs, no regrets on that), I finally read Sex Criminals over the past week. Absolutely hilarious.

Congrats @grendelbo and thanks to @Point Five for running the contest! Personally, I'm just glad I didn't do nearly as poorly as I expected...

Grades in!

I'm in!

Sweet! Love those two X-Men ones, and the Macross one looks awesome.

I didn't know this subgenre existed...and now, I feel like I need to have all of these.

This disappoints me...isn't this only like, a third of the total Amalgam one-shots?

More wrong grades in!

Horribly wrong grades submitted!

This feels appropriate here.

Received my raffle yesterday from @JazzMan! Gonna fit in great on my shelf of weird 70s-ish comics-related books!
