Just five issues this week for me… and they are all DC books. And how do I rank them you ask?
Natalie’s Comic Rankings for 6/22/2016
- Flash #1
- Detective Comics #935
- Action Comics #958
- Wonder Woman #1
- Aquaman #1
Flash was my favorite of the week because it felt like it flowed the best. Detective Comics is slowly gaining my interest, but I’m not sure how I feel about the mud room. Action Comics is still holding my interest with the mysteries there. I felt a little lost with the Wonder Woman issue, probably because I’m just not that familiar with her supporting cast. Aquaman felt slow to me and a bit frustrating like you just want them to hurry up and get to something interesting; this title might lose me if they don’t pick up the pace.
On a personal collecting note, I finally spent a day this week trying to gather up all of the comics that are presently in my home and organise them a little in anticipation of starting the cataloging process. — The problem is way worse than I thought… I bought 5 short boxes, 300 bags, and 300 boards to start with. I used them all and still have loose books lying around. I haven’t even gotten over to my parents house to go through those books yet, or the ones in my storage unit. I’m going to go broke just bagging/boarding/boxing them all.
I really need to bag and board a lot of my old comics. When I first started collecting I made the mistake of throwing them out!

Oh, no! Yikes! I end up with a lot of unbagged comics from buying bulk lots. I’m glad most of the comic stores I buy from sell their comics bagged and boarded at least. I’ve been told that ideally you replace those things every five years or so. It’s so expensive, but I did get decent deals on my supplies off of ebay. You really have to buy in bulk to get the best deals.. I sure couldn’t have bought half of what I got at my LCS for the price I paid.
