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.
I do miss those days of browsing the Diamond catalogue and deciding which books to get. That was always a good day.

Action Comics No. 1 soars to record $15 million sale, resetting all-time mark
For the second time in less than two months, there’s a new most expensive comic book in the world
The title of “most valuable comic book in the world” changed hands again Friday.
But the record still belongs to the Man of Steel.
Less than two months after a copy of Superman No. 1 went for a record price, that all-time mark was shattered when a rare issue of Action Comics No. 1 sold for an eye-popping $15 million in a private sale, which was first reported by the Associated Press.
Metropolis Collectibles/Comic Connect in New York brokered the sale for the comic book that featured the first appearance of Superman, according to the AP. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous.
The sale come after a new high-water mark was established by the Nov. 20 sale of Superman No. 1 at Heritage Auctions for $9.12 million. That book was graded CGC 9.0, the highest graded copy ever assessed by the leading authenticator.
The issue of Action Comics No. 1 that sold Friday (also graded CGC 9.0) was stolen from the home of actor Nicolas Cage in 2000, per the AP, and later recovered in 2011.
Metropolis Collectibles/Comic Connect president Vincent Zurzolo said that backstory likely contributed to the record price.
“This is among the holy grail of comic books. Without Superman and his popularity, there would be no Batman or other superhero comic book legends,” Zurzolo told the AP. “Its importance in the comic book community shows with his deal, as it obliterates the previous record.”

Two podcasts I listened to (X-Wife and House of X) stopped doing weekly reviews for a while because so many X-titles were being churned out by Marvel and it was just too time consuming. So even podcasters dropped titles. 🤣
They aren’t weekly but every few weeks they will give a 1+ hour podcast reviewing an event like this age of revelation X event.
I haven’t listened to Jay and Miles in a while and no recent shows have been released.
Now I am hearing that Jay and Miles will end sometime this year.
