Near Mint Minus(sm)
The Official Haven for Collectors, Fans, and Plain Old Nerds.
Comic books are vital to the survival of mankind.
As the mightiest task-masters of a sweaty world devoid of sleep, love, or social skills, comics incessantly beat on the drum that beckons us weekly to place small, green bills into the pasty and hyper-knowledgeable hands of the Golfshirt-Tucked-into-Sweatpants-Man, who we call the comic shop owner.
We do so with satisfaction. As members of an addict culture without a cure (except for maturing to adulthood, which we dismissed, like so many Rob Leifield Lithographs), we strongly support the reading, collecting, and hoarding of comic books. We understand that the addiction weighs you down, until you are hopeless - a shell of a man wandering through the dark Gothams and Metropoli of the mind. At Near Mint Minus, we offer you a brief respite from your baleful, nerdish woes. Remember that these reviews are subjective and reflect the views of the NMM staff only, therefore it is incumbant upon you as the reader to read these books, and to judge for yourself, or God himself will judge you.
Read, laugh, cry, gnash, shake fists at your computer, spit, and repeat. Enjoy it while you can. Next Wednesday is closer than you think. Near Mint Minus News in Briefs: We now have business cards and T-Shirts available. Remember to checkout the forums page and register. It’s a free forum for: buying and selling comics and comic collections; obtaining your own free nearmintminus.com email account forwarded to an existing account; posting your own reviews and insights; and berating the Near Mint Minus reviewers for their silly, mad-cap antics, and basic, sublevel genius. We are proud of our tireless work here at NMM, and we hope that you are continuing to get a healthy dose of anger, laughter, pomposity, or shame. Maybe you just get epileptic seizures from staring at the half-way artistic backgrounds graffitied with too bright Arial fonted nonsense, but hey, you’re still getting something. Thanks for checking out the site! We hope your jowls ache from the laughter, and that your brains swell with as you are exposed to the ancient arts of verbiage, sarcastic mastery, and stupendous insolence. Check Out the Tommy Castillo Interview!

This Book Should Probably Not Be Ignored:
Teen Titans is at an all time high with its masterful combo of brilliant, pun free writing mixed with highly detailed and expressive art done in the modern style. Dr. Light has once again become a man to be feared and is finally getting the respect he apparently deserves. Check this one out and I promise you will not be disappointed. (Unless you wanted the Titans to not get the crap kicked out of them, cause that doesn’t happen in this comic). Check out Ultimate Heroes today! Are you looking for a new comic shop? That old shop of yours never have those elusive books that aren't best-sellers, but are your personal favorites? Want to try a whole new concept? Check out Ultimate Heroes Comic Shop. Only a small minority of folks are able to live in the heart of the country, and only a few of them get the pleasure of meeting George - a very different kind of comic shop guy. George pulls into his shop the most extensive line of new comics every week! He also carries games, posters, art, and the most high-grade backissues that we have seen. If you are tired of finding back-issues that look like they were read in the bathtub, chewed on by a vulture, or used to wipe after a night of nachos and beer, then your solution is a click away! |
