I swear I didn't mean to

My local newsagent has been trying to order the BtVS S8 comics but have screwed up 4 times so I gave up today and went into Perth. I went into Quality comics but no luck so headed up to Empire Toys and there was issue #4 - and #5 too. WOOHOO! And at AUS$5-80 apiece, very affordable.

Now I am not quite sure how it happened but between that minor (but important) purchase and the counter, a mere ten or so paces away, the following magically appeared in my arms:
Buffy Omnibus vol. 1
Buffy Omnibus vol. 2
Angel: Auld Lang Syne TPB
Runaways vol. 3 HC and
Promethea Vol. 2 TPB.

AUS$220 lighter, I finally emerged, stunned and blinking in the bright sunlight.

I have got to stay out of that store!

Hahaha sounds like a dangerous place to step in to. Very fun but hazardous.

It certainly traps me every time! ;-)

I went into my comic shop a couple of weeks ago to pick up the latest Buffy and ended up buying Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" since I had seen the movie twice by then. Just finished reading it and I think I'm going to have to start reading some of his Sandman books. Let's see, I can give up Astonishing X-Men once Joss is not writing for them and maybe I'm not hooked enough on Runaways to have to continue those once he's off ...

Actually, I was thinking much the same:
AXM - I only have the fourth TPB to buy and then I won't be buying that any more
Runaways - I only have Joss's TPB to buy and then I won't be buying that one either

so I should only be left with:
Buffy Season 8 - comics and TPB's
Angel: After the Fall: - TPB's only (and I don't know if IDW have any other Angel titles planned after that)
Spike: I think there's only the Shadow Puppets TPB to get (and, like the Angel titles, I don't know if IDW have any other Spike titles planned after that).

Still, having said that, I know I will get sucked into other things. Oh, and Joss has started Sugarshock (which I have to confess I don't like yet - but you never know with Joss) which I suppose will have a TPB sometime and he'll also revisit Fray which I will definitely 100% certain be there for.

Hmm, on second thoughts, that list is still a bit long!
