Looks like the nearest to you is a Newbury Comics in Quincy Market. Bleh. Too much kitsch, not enough comics.

My best advice if you want the social experience: Go to Harvard Square in Cambridge (on the Red Line). There are three shops within a three block radius: previously mentioned Newbury and NEC and between the…

Tell me about it. I collected comics for almost 30 years and currently have 3,800 stuffed in a closet upstairs. I'd sell them if I could get more than a dime each for them, but that's the state of comics these days. At some point, I'll probably end up trashing/recycling all but the most potentially resellable books to…

I agree, just buy digital.

True, none to be found in East Boston, but you can find all the recent issues, and a few back issues of more popular titles, at any Newbury Comics, and there are a couple places just off Kenmore Square if you want to head over that way.

Yeah, check out Marvel's site. You can subscribe to the through there. There are also some bigger stores (mostly in New York, Chicago and Austin) who will send you comics you request on a monthly basis. Basically, you write your pull list, give them your credit card info and every month as soon as they're released and…

Marvel sell directly online I believe:

I'm sure we'll find out in a year that someone just combined half of a brown dwarf with half of a jupiter planet to fake it.

It's got the requisite crappy cell phone pictures too!

Absolutely. Just imagining what's possibly out there and how far away it all is gives me the chills. What I would give for a spaceship with FTL travel...

we can, but we need to get our stuff together on earth; we need to know how to use our limited resources for this beautiful venture.

And a runaway science budget. The best kind of runaway budget

Oh but we ARE out there...everything is all around us!

a memory book?

The issue with dentists is the guilt trip. They are always guilt tripping you for not flossing, not coming in, needing your teeth whitened, etc. If the dentist would just lay off, the experience would be 100x better.

You know, I wouldn't mind going to the dentist so much if they didn't try to TALK TO ME WHEN THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF IN MY MOUTH.

Absolutely!
