Well, I made my first visit to a local comic book store in the area today. Looked around a bit, found it to be a rather small place, but had a nice selection of new comics regardless of their lacking in the back issue department. Saw they had the latest issue of Ultimates 2 and was a little tempted to purchase it.
Now, in case you didn't know, I've been reading the Ultimates exclusively in the TPB form. I'm hesitant to buy the individual issues because A: I enjoyed reading the story straight through without delay or interruption and B: I'm trying to forgoe the huge issue collection and build a library of TPBs and HCs.
So, I left the comic store, went to the mall and Barnes & Noble and browsed around a bit. Read the Magnetic North TPB, and was finally tempted into purchasing Ultimates 7-10 to get more of the story that I had been missing since the last TPB. I just couldn't wait any longer for the second TPB to be published. So, I head back to the comic store and they don't have any of the issues I need except #10. So, I finally cracked, and would have bought them, but they weren't in stock. The next nearest store wasn't open on Sunday, so that wasn't an option. Maybe I'll look around on Ebay...
