Hastings is actually a great solution to the whole "can't find these" problem.
You know how at most comic shops, employees hate it if you read their stuff? Hastings isn't like that. They have comfy chairs for you to sit in and don't really care if you read 15 whole comics and only buy 1...or none.
The goodwill from this meant I bought all movies and video games from Hastings while in college so it was a fine business strategy (as far as I can tell) but it also allowed me to read lots of things without paying for them.
There's a store about half an hour from my place. Normally, it wouldn't be worth the drive but if we do this, it sure would be.

Hahaha
You'll be surprised, but plenty of times the really obscure stuff get scanned before the blockbuster issues.

@zoom:
My comic book shop did that all the time with their dedicated patrons. They also gave me huge discounts as I was their biggest spender. I am not sure if it was a good strategy because they went out of business lol.
Now all I have is Black Cats (which is a rundown place but good people) and Night Flight comics (which I shit you not, tried to arrest a customer for opening a comic book before buying it).

Although, I think ideally we should try to focus all the tied in books between two or three people for two reasons:
1) Someone who is reading Birds of Prey, Flash, JLA, Titans and Generation Lost will do a better job reviewing Brightest Day than someone reading none of those books. In fact, series like Brightest Day, Siege, etc that tie into multiple books might do better with rotating reviewers, all of whom are reading some of the tie ins. Big event books kinda deserve a second opinion anyways.
2) If the same person is reviewing both Thor and Mighty Thor, they can advise readers which book is better whereas with two seperate reviewers, it is harder to tell.

Yes. I want all Thor related things and X-Men related things.
If Generation Hope is Hope Summers, I require that as well.

I agree with Zoom.
I think we would get better reviews if our reviewers are doing whole arcs and tie-ins. Such as Thor and Thor minis. X-Men and all the X-Men spin-offs.
I think one or two people should take on the whole bat-family thing, because it is pretty big.

Hey K4tz, you wanna pass Titans off to me and pick something else? That way I've got another BD tie in and both Titans books.

Do you also want X-Factor, Erik? It's the only X book left. Even though I guess we could save that for sloth, he loves X-Factor.
@ Dane - If you are already taxed with too much I could do the main GL title, man.

Lol nobody wants to read Deadpool. I'm sure either K4tz or me will do Deadpool MAX, which is a cool book.
I don't see any masochists around picking up the rest, though.

I would read Deadpool if Cable were in it. I loved the C&DP series but felt it dropped off near the end when Cable died. Plus there are a ton of Deadpool titles. Too much of a thing that was not that great to begin with.
