Tags: amber, danny I'll be at Phoenix Comicon today! Come see me and Joel Watson at Booth #243 #1749! That'll be an Artists Alley corner booth in the far back corner next to the "LEGO Display" and "Star Wars Neighborhood." Check out John Troutman's map.
The Pulp Fiction store I go to is located in King William Street in Adelaide.

To go to a Pulp Fiction store, Do you have to speak “ENGLISH, MUTH FUCKA!!”?
saltchocolate
That was Samuel L. Jackson’s line, wasn’t it?
JustcallmeSoul
english motherfucker, you speak it? what?! say what one more time i dare you i DOUBLE dare you.
on a side not, one of the most disturbing moments of my life was when my 12 year old female cousin recited 2/3rds of that scene to me against my will, language and all, and my uncle commented “damn, she memorized THAT quickly.”
Marvel had 15 superhero issues out this week. I think DC’s still doing 13 a week so it adds up to 52 a month? There are quite a few non-big-two superhero titles out these days too. So there could be well over 30 on any given week.
By “they”, do you mean the comics industry in general? Because yeah, I’d say all of the comic companies out there would put out that many comics a week.
I think I can speak to this – that’s me handing Amber her comics in the strip up there! (Hi, I’m Matt, manager of Vintage Phoenix Comics in Bloomington) Each week we have between 100 and 150 new titles on the racks, and while we have a diverse selection, we don’t order nearly everything that the comic book industry produces each week. We really do have customers who purchase stacks resembling this.
On an unrelated note, I think I need some new clothes – I recognized the shirt I’m wearing in the strip immediately, and I’m wearing it today.
It is obvios now that Amber’s not Amazi-Girl, I mean, who has ever heard of a hard-core comicbook reader actually taking up the mantle of superhero for real, I mean REALLY? 😛
Naw, instead of rubber powers you should learn three sword style fighting. Then you can use the “Power of love” the “power of self-respect and the “Z sword” at teh same time!
Dicrel Seijin
Nah, I’d prefer to grow body parts. Grow some arms or legs to trip the ex up. Grow some arms to pin the ex down spread eagle. Grow a pair of legs (or four) for alternating groin stomps.
I haven’t decided if I’d stand off to the side, hands on hips with my head thrown back laughing manically, or perhaps conducting this symphony of pain with a little baton.
And yes, I have given this some thought–I used to be part of a One Piece online roleplay. You get one guess who I played.
After my old friend the comedian was killed I decided to spread anarchy by blowing up the parliament and all people who had experimented on me when I was interned in a prisoner camp. But then my robot side kick turned out to be posessed by a weirdly named Alien who wanted to eat all of reality and in the process created 52 parallel universes. I only maneged to defeat him by swallowing a deaging poison and now I must pretend to be some random ten year old while living next door to my not-girlfriend.

Attach ‘Directed by Ron Howard’ and you got yourself a Hollywood smash
Hey Aquaman is awesome. I’m personally more impressed she can afford so many titles. I do wonder if there are currently any superhero comics on the market now that begin with Y or Z?
Also if her list starts at Aquaman, this means she’s not reading Animal Man.
Kamino Neko
Presuming she gets her pull regularly, Animal Man and Aquman don’t come out in the same weeks. The latter came out this week, the former last week.
Of course, reading Aquaman but not Animal Man is perfectly understandable, as Aquaman continues to be a good book, but Animal Man went to hell with the Rotworld crossover (which didn’t do Swamp Thing any favours, either).
I'll be at Phoenix Comicon today! Come see me and Joel Watson at Booth #243 
Discussion (177) - “Misplaced aggression”
Regalli
Amber, are you hiding something?
Psycho
Amber’s not fooling anyone….or should I say…..SPIDER-CAR!!!
John
Amber’s not fooling Spider-Car? Does Spider-Car even exist in this continuity?
Yotomoe
If Robo-Vac can exist in this continuity, then Spider-Car had better!
nothri
If Spider-car doesn’t exist in this continuity then of course she isn’t fooling him. You can’t fool that which has no cognizance to fool.
Portmaneau
No. Amber is Robo-Vac. Because we all know the truth.
Aras Pabedinskas
Is Spider-Car part of the Dexter and Monkey comic or does he/she have her/his own series?
Philisitine
The correct way to say that is “does Vrrrm have vrrrm’s own series?”
Hermitix
I like and favorite this despite lack of support for such things on this site.
Felix Kütt
+1
Jen Aside
Yikes, does Amber buy ALL the comics, LITERALLY? D= [Do they even MAKE that many a week?]
Plasma Mongoose
I don’t know about comics but when I get a call from Pulp Fiction about my orders, there can be quite a few manga for me to pick up.
TaZZerath
Plasma, excuse me for asking, but where do you hail from? I just ask because there’s a Pulp Fiction Comics right near me… probably just a coincidence…
Yotomoe
Plas is an aussie. Da’s all I know.
Osaru Sensei
and here I thought I couldn’t be more of a Plas fangirl lol.
(And no, I’m Swedish myself)
Plasma Mongoose
I haz fangirl? OH MY! 🙂

You’re the commenting super star! 🙂

Manga is comics.
Plasma Mongoose
True, but I have only seen manga in book form not comic form.
Robin
Manga is people!
Felix Kütt
manga is green?

Ghotiheads
Are you telling me she gets a New 52 every month?
Raijink
Well she’s getting Aquaman at least! And if she can stand that, I don’t see her snubbing much else in the line.
Alex Stritar
Actually, I’ve heard that the Aquaman stuff has been good lately.
John Harmon

Reepicheep-chan
Well there you have it. That is a pretty definitive answer, I would say.
Regalli
That is one hilarious coincidence.
begbert2
Good god, how much does a stack like that cost?
Jen Aside
Oh, okay, so Amber’s singlehandedly keeping the comics industry in business. *thumbs up*
Jen Aside
[no Youngblood or Zen: Intergalactic Ninja, tho]
The blot
Matt needs to be tagged! At the very least call him Comic Book Guy (or is that name already taken!?!)
thecanvashat
Well, she doesn’t buy Action Comics.
Aras Pabedinskas
Misplaced? She is clearly placing it on that man’s chest.
Yotomoe
Glad to see Robo-Vac is back.
TaZZerath
I hear he was different after the “New 12” re-imaging though
Aras Pabedinskas
I mean the explaination of him merging with a vacuum cleaner became so weird after they modernized it with a roomba.
TaZZerath
Robo-oomba never had the same ring to it, did it?
Yotomoe
Yeah, but at least the Christopher Nolan movies seemed to go too.
“The Vac-Knight” Was a box office smash!
TaZZerath
“The Vac-Knight Sucks” was a bit of a let-down though. Probably should’ve gone with a better title.
Aras Pabedinskas
At least the villains were good. I loved how such an utter mess the villain, The Hair was.
JBO
yes, but the Dust bunny is still unbeatable!
Nicholas Cage’s best role ever in my opinion!
“YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THESE EARS?”
I still get goosebumps.
TaZZerath
Yeah I guess… but having giant mutated superfleas as minions just a little TOO over the top.
Portmaneau
I’m still waiting for the sequel though.
StClair
My favorite is the end of the story about the shag carpet:
“So how’d you finally get it clean?”
“We tore it out and put in hardwood floors.”
bookwormdalek
At least it was better than the final movie of the
original movie series: Robo-Vac and Dustpan. That
movie nearly killed the Robo-Vac franchise.
Notebooked
Oh my god, I KNOW. Who thought it would be a good idea to give Robo-Vac a ‘funny, cute’ sidekick?! Nozzle did fine on that front!
“I’m not cleaning THAT up!” Urgh, I still hear it in my nightmares…
Joel Rice
Yeah his costume is a stupid turtleneck now
charles
This needs a Robo-Vac tag, no?
Kensou
Brilliant save there. XD
Plasma Mongoose
It is obvios now that Amber’s not Amazi-Girl, I mean, who has ever heard of a hard-core comicbook reader actually taking up the mantle of superhero for real, I mean REALLY? 😛
Yotomoe
That’d be like me becoming a rubber pirate, looking for 7 dragonballs so I could defeat my girlfriend’s 7 evil- exes.
TaZZerath
That was YOU?
Plasma Mongoose
If you had rubber powers, you shouldn’t even need any dragonballs to defeat some mere ex-boyfriends.
JBO
Naw, instead of rubber powers you should learn three sword style fighting. Then you can use the “Power of love” the “power of self-respect and the “Z sword” at teh same time!

And yes, I have given this some thought–I used to be part of a One Piece online roleplay. You get one guess who I played.
Aras Pabedinskas
I don’t know about you guys but I really want the power to transform into a human. Man, that would change everything.
Megatron
It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
JBO

She’s just embarrassed to admit she reads Aquaman.
Theozilla
Hey Aquaman is awesome. I’m personally more impressed she can afford so many titles. I do wonder if there are currently any superhero comics on the market now that begin with Y or Z?
TaZZerath
And what about those poor numbered superheroes?
Scoops
Young Avengers?
Also if her list starts at Aquaman, this means she’s not reading Animal Man.
