Maybe it's just the atmosphere in comics today, or maybe I caught the bug getting the 1st print ASM 583 for free, but lately, I've found myself chasing some notable single issues vs. really hitting the store every Wednesday. There was a time in particular between 2001 and 2003 where I kind of let other issues take precedence, and a good chunk of the issues I've gone after have been from that time period. That said, anyone have themselves a little back-issue shopping list? Here's a few I'm after right now. Problem is, I refuse to pay more than $10 - $15 on a single issue, so obviously you're not gonna see any "Death Of Gwen Stacy" spots on here: Amazing Spider-Man #36 (for some reason, this guy has taken the front seat lately. If anyone wants to hook a reliable brother up, lemme know) She Hulk #8 (1st Printing) Thunderbolts #1 Just a few off the top of my head...

solid thread idea.
i own every trade paperback of sin city with the exception of just another saturday night and lost, lonely and lethal. i've been on the chase of those for a long time, but ebay just wants too much so i keep my eyes peeled.
i own near every batman rip tie-in, i am just missing detective comics 849, nightwing 148 and nightwing 150. i'm also missing batman 663 from the pre-rip series. these all for the most part will be easy to find when i get around to it.
i'm only missing the last 16 issues from the original deadpool series (#54-69)
i'm only missing avengers: the iniative 21 and ms. marvel 35 from the ongoing dark reign arc
i've never found the first issue for the last avengers story, where ultron rises an army to face hank pym and his team of aged heroes.
in terms of the 2099 series, i still intend to collect the ravage, spider-man, ghost rider, hulk, doom and unlimited series. a lot of these are not good or even suck, but it's more just for interest as the series perked my curiousity as a kid and i have ranging issues from each series. i also still have 25 issues of the punisher 2099 to collect as well.
thats all i can recall for now.

I'm looking for alot of the rarer issues of Amazing spiderman such as #300 and #252. Which are understandably SO hard to find a good price on. I also want secret wars #8.
I may also try to collect every Dark reign tie in.
Now its just up to my wallet to deliver the cash.

Speaking of Avengers, I'd really like to own the finale, in spite of the fact that it's collected in the trade.

Mmmm. Teen Titans #29, too. I'm a big Robin mark - I need to see Jason Todd lay the smack down on Tim Drake.

I probably could have fulfilled most of those wants. Unfortunately, I finally unloaded all of my single issue comics recently. I just don't have the storage for them anymore, and am just buying trades.

I just got Avengers Finale not too long ago. Working on a full New Avengers set with the variants for issues 1-6. I'm 4 short of my goal there. Lately: 1st Guy Gardner - $38 free shipping (not actual picture) Boys #1 About to get Y The Last Man #1-3 from a friend And, so far, the gem in my collection (again, not actual pic): GReen Lantern / Green Arrow #76 Right now is a great time to buy stuff, especially big issues, because people are looking to get rid of their stuff and make money however they can.

What surprises me is the still relatively high demand for the regular cover of Spider-Man #583. I got that for regular price with no problem, and I've seen it going for $35 - $40.

I bought my #252 for only $56. Which is better then $96. I can't believe how much some comics go for these days.

NH Comic-Con is today. First chance for me since NYCC to grab some of these. My aims are Teen Titans #29, Magneto: Testament #2-7, and if I'm lucky, ASM #36.
