Tons of new followers lately, which is awesome! Welcome🤗

So hi there! I'm Vinson, I love to talk about comics (new and old) and have been a collector for over 40 years

As we chat comics you'll likely get a follow back, esp with a whole buncha folks at once

I love to add to a positive Comicsky ❤️

My comic long boxes with art and some clamshelled books above

My comic sorting table and the dog's kennels lol

A closeup above my long boxes, with an original commission by Mike Grell plus the clamshells to go with it

A closeup of the "Savage Empire" comic strip in the Chicago Star signed by Mike Grell, the prototype that became Warlord, which I am a huge fan

Ever since he's become the one "willing to make the choice no one else will" and it's exhausting

Today's read, DC KO #1

Great setup for the big event with beautiful art

I'm not going to get every single tie in but it certainly has my interest and excited to see it play out

Nope:(

DC cancelled a few titles all at once going into post KO event, so I'm sure we're going to hear about more soon

Their first story arc was great, but they are really doing good stuff right now

Just feels like the rug getting pulled out from under great creatives

The label has been on plenty books, but feels like it really hasnt effected anything with him there

Pretty underwhelming honestly

For sure! You got a nice discount but you wanted all three to be awesome

Vinson Loves Comics @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social · 17h

Whitman versions are the best! My first Superman comics were from a 3-pack sold at K-Mart in '79

You would only be able to tell what the two outer ones were so you would try and get a peak at that center book and it was a mystery ❤️

Rumors are Paladin is in the new Vision Quest show, about to get a bump!

Early morning traffic tends to be lower in general, I tend to post things around Noon-2pm PST (3-5pm est), which tends to get a lot more east coast traffic

But I also just don't worry about it too much, if I get engagement thats great but if not? Ah well, always tomorrow.

Vinson Loves Comics @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social · 17h

A lot of it feels artificially boosted to get a full set, or like the X-Force #1 where they just want a certain card or color shade

Plenty out there but they want a specific thing out of it

That falls firmly under nostalgia for Millennials lol
