Daniel Way Signing @ Phat Collectibles

On November 17, 2012 I attended the Daniel Way signing at Phat Collectibles in Huntington Beach.

On the same day there was also a huge SALE going on where you could get old comics and pretty new back issues for cheap. So the store was really well visited.

As one of the first 15 people that arrived there for the signing we got a ticket for a free “Deadpool” Headsketch by "Jed Thomas".

On a side note: Jed is one of the nicest and most talented people I had the honor to meet. You should really check out his work & his homepage.

But the main person that day was writer “Daniel Way”. He wrote stories for “Wolverine: Origins”, “Deadpool” and many more.

Since there was no limit on comics you could get signed some people came with huge piles of comics to get them signed. And Daniel Way was such a sweetheart and signed every comic with such a patience, talked to the fans and took pictures with them.

I took the following comics to get signed:

After I got the free Deadpool Headsketch from Jed Thomas I also purchased an awesome Deadpool poster plus a Headsketch of Ms. Marvel.

During all the shopping and waiting I met this awesome guy by the name of LJ. He is as addicted to comics as I am and talking to him was really fun. Check out his YouTube Channel. He put up some nice Videofootage of the Daniel Way signing.

And yeah if you’re ever in SoCal go to Phat Collectibles. The store is just too amazing and their events are always really well organized. They have 2 Stores, one in Anaheim and another one in Huntington Beach. Both stores are really nice, but the one in Anaheim is bigger. You should check out both since they both have their own character.

Friday - what a shopping success

Normally I post pictures of my Comic Book Shopping on Instagram but last Friday was such a crazy day that I can’t even post all the pictures on Instagram because it would be simply too much. So I just decided to give last Friday its own Blogentry so my readers don’t have to miss out on what kind of Comics I bought this time.

While my fiancé & we’re driving down to Los Angeles on Friday we decided to make our usual stop in Santa Clarita to just shop for a few comics we’re missing. But this time it got a little crazy, but what isn’t “crazy” nowadays.

The first stop we made was at UtopiaComics. Their boxes of back issues are not just a few. They have lots of boxes and all the back issues even newer ones are just $1. So we started to make our way through the top ones which were about 9 boxes and the result of it were 54 back issues. Plus we also bought some new ones there we were missing from Wednesday.

Next stop was Paper Hero Comics, our favorite Comic book store in Santa Clarita. There we also bought some back issues.

I have no idea how many comics we bought but in the end it was 4 bags from 2 different Comic book stores. If you’re ever visiting the area and want to go shopping for comics I can really recommend those two stores.

Can’t wait for the next shopping spree there but tomorrow is finally Wednesday again so let’s see what will be on Instagram this time.
