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.

Peblee Recommends: Morrison at His Best
Even if we can't quite be sure of where he is going, the best reccommendation that I can give you is read the Seven Soldiers books. They are the most interesting comics out right now. If you are just too dense to desire a hand in hand adventure down the paths leading through the nether regions of Morrison's mind, then perhaps you should not venture there at all. Nope, keep reading Black Panther and Wolverine Soultaker. Then come over here so I can pat you on the head, you mental homonculous. Fumanchu Recommends: This Book Must Not Be Ignored
Paul Chadwick’s masterpiece has once again surfaced in another mini series. Concrete is a one of a kind character whose profound musings give amazing insight into our own self-isolation that this becomes more than just comic books. This is some heavy stuff, but I promise that no one who reads Concrete will regret it. 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! Tell George Peebs and Fumanchu sent ya! |
