Yesterday, I went to my LCS to pick up by subscription books. I hadn’t been there in 2-3 months.
I only had two comics in my box.
I know I’ve scaled down my purchasing but this was still a bit of a shock to me. I think the loss of the Diamond catalog has affected my purchasing. It really made looking at upcoming books easy and let my LCS know what I want. I know Sean posts links to the upcoming books. Still, having one source with everything in it made ordering easier.
