Comic Book Resources

Flash's Lightning · 11-21-2009, 08:09 AM

I need some help. Hope one of you can hook me up.

I went to my comic book store to get the issues with the GL rings in them, was willing to pay a decent amount, but they don't have them. Said they couldn't order enough to hit the mark necessary to be able to order them.

There are no other comic stores around. Can someone point me in the direction of a good online retailer? Or perhaps they have a local store they can buy it from? (I'll pay up front of course.)

Any suggestions would be great. I don't usually order online, so it makes me a bit nervous without asking about it.

p.s. anyone have a list of the issues that carry the rings?

You can buy sets of the rings on eBay.

Thank you. Another member owns and operates their own store, and let me know that he has them. I'm sure that'll work out, but if it doesn't, I'll go the ebay way.

Though I get nervous of scams on ebay too...

I'm sure you don't want to wait, but chances are really good that you can buy the set on ebay for cheap a month or so after they all come out....that's what i'm going to do.

Ebay's a good choice. Check the seller's rating before putting in a bid. I've been using Ebay for some time now and have only been burned twice.

For an online shop I've been getting my copies/rings from a website called tfaw.com. Search Blackest Night and all items related to the story will pop up including a list of which comics come with which rings.

someone on the cgc forum was selling a bunch of complete sets of rings for $15 bucks each without the comics. might still be a few left.

Shows each issue that has a ring and which ring comes with which book.

Don't know what other places are doing but starting this wednesday you can get all 8 rings from midtowncomics for $15.

They are just throwing that at customers. (not literally, Forbidden Planet is crap but not that bad)

I bought a couple trades and a few issues in Glasgow today and was given 4 rings without asking. (Blue/Orange/Pink/Indigo)

They are just cheap plastic.
