What's the last comic (single issue) you bought?
We have all kinds of threads like this over the rest of the forum; so I figured that we should have them in Comic Book Talk too. They might be fun, and spur some additional conversations.
Ghost Rider #1 - Marvel - September 1973
Saw a fair, but back coverless, copy at my LCBS for $5 and couldn't resist. Haven't read much of this character over the years, but always imagined that he'd be a favorite if I let myself start reading the title.

X-Force Vol 1 #15.
I actually bought the first 15 issues at the same time. I really liked the series when I was a kid and nostalgia took over.

I don't think I've ever bought just one comic. I usually buy them stacks at a time, so no idea really.

Amazing Spider-man #71 #80 and annual #10.
I have all en route to me this week. 3 of the 33 issues I need for the entire ASM series.

That's awesome Jacob!
I'm not sure what constitutes my largest complete run. I have every Micronauts comic, but that's only perhaps 100 issues total. I'm close to owning the first 300 or so issues of JLA, but need at least 40 more iirc.

Bought an early Eclipse comic for a buck over the weekend. The Mike Mist Minute Mist-eries by Max Collins and Terry Beatty. It was Golden Age-sized and not bad.

I'm curious. I think I remember those as a backup feature in some other Eclipse series from the 80s.

^ I want that!
And it was in the Eclipse comic Ms. Tree that I was introduced to Mist. Here's a nice history. http://www.thrillingdetective.com/mist.html

I'd been meaning to pick this one up for a while. Finally got a good price on an eBay auction:

A copy of Evan Dorkin's Dork Comics. Probably eight years ago.

More like, comic readers don't like to try out new things, especially in singles. That's the caveat of the wait-for-the-trade mindset that honestly, the companies have been pushing. What have sales been like on the title, btw? I really enjoyed the first arc of the title, but I haven't gotten any of the Sif stuff.

Well, it's ending after the next issue (#655), so clearly sales haven't been great. More room for The Mighty X-Men or whatever, I suppose. I do recommend you check out the Sif stuff in trade--I like it a good deal more than the Loki arcs.
