Never Complete...




I went into work, stayed a little longer than I'd intended, but I hadn't cared about that. That just meant I had to work a bit harder to get what I needed done. Afterward, I hung out with some friends for a few hours, then went by Wal-Mart to make a Layaway payment, which was needed. The good news is that I really cut the price down, and will wait until a friend of mine gives me $10.00 to pay the rest during the next few days.

The bad news...I received some mail from Mile High Comics. It wasn't the issue of The Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day #1 that I'd been waiting for for about a total of twenty-five days. It was a refund check for $21.00. Meaning that they didn't have the issue I'd sent them the money for in that condition.

Had I known that something of this magnitude was going to happen, I would've used the money I sent for the issue for my Layaway. To sound somewhat cliche, I've used all my lifelines-gone from comic book store to comic book store in town, and was only able to find the last two issues of the three-part mini-saga. I even mailed money to a place in Colorado...and struck out. As much as I don't want to admit it, I may need to resign myself to the fact that I won't ever get to complete the saga.

Life has given me kicks to the behind on numerous occasions-in more heartwrenching, painful ways than this-but, I haven't felt this distraught since mid-July.

(LOL)

I haven't had that happen to me in quite a long while!

If I lived by you, I'd go out and do just that.

Oh, sweetie, I seriously am sorry. That has to suck!!!

I know that this probably isn't going to be of much consolation to you, since you were looking for the specific issue, but they're releasing YJ/Titans:GD & The Return of Donna Troy in one shiny tpb.

Have you tried e-bay, though?

(nods) It does. Thanks for the support, though.

Really? Do you know when it will be released?

(lol) I'd need to register with e-bay first, but there's a first time for everything.

Lol. E-Bay rules. It's where I got my copies of RoDT and JSA Classified, and all the other Infinite Crisis goodness. I honestly cannot find a release date for the damn thing, but they might have a release date for it on Monday in the new solicits? I'm hoping so anyway...

It would be awesome if they had a release date for it this upcoming Monday; I'll see about registering on E-Bay when I get home a little bit later.

You got JSA Classified? That's great to hear.

BTW, that's a terrific Donna Troy icon you have there.
