QC while shipping posted by pjallen080483

Rant of the quality in which comics arrive.

 

So I don't know how many of you actually collect any of the new issues being released, but I pick up a few every week online sometimes most at my LCBS. With that being said I have noticed lately that a lot of the issues being shipped out are damaged when being received by my LCBS and even when getting a shipment from Midtown if I missed an issue or the store I go to didn't have it. Now with that being said you would think that with the amount of money even after these companies have gone to digital that paper issues bring in they would protect these things. It's getting more an more difficult to get a 9.8 off the shelf without going to different stores or ordering online. And it's not so much DC issues more so Marvel. Just wanted to rant a little the wife don't really care so I know you guys may or may not feel my pain thanks for reading.

I totally agree with you. The paper is getting thinner. Marvel started it with their covers.

DC is following suit, in order to lower their prices. I don't think the companies really care & most

of the buyers aren't looking for the 9.8's. It is going to make it hard to find newer runs in 9.8 for sure. When I'm spending $5.99 on a new book and more for a variant. I would like it to be a nice one.

Completely agree with you I stopped doing variants in most of what I collect now for that entire reason. I really do wish they would go to the cardboard type covers like they did with the mid run New 52 Batman issues and some JL.
