I'd love to buy a Hastings Faith TPB. Anyone have a spare? Happy to pay a premium!

It basically came out at a discount. Everybody go grab yours today, before they're all sticky and bent.
Yep, I paid $3.20 for my copy. :clap:

Sorry guys but this was a 100 mile round trip drive to visit this store. If I head up that way in the near future, I will be sure to check it out, if it is not out of business. :(

I found two more stores that are in striking distance from me. One is 1 hour away and the other is 1.5 hrs away. I will try to visit them over the next couple of weeks. If they have more Faith Hastings TPB's, I will pick some up for you guys. :thumb:

Thanks, Michael! You might consider getting all they have. I think you could flip then for a small profit.

Score! After a five hour trip and 217 miles of driving, I was able to visit two Hastings stores. The first one in Lawrence, KS did not have much to choose from, but the second store in Warrensburg, MO had two Faith Hastings TPB's! :clap:

PM's sent to nycjadie and theebaldmoose to get a copy into their hands. :thumb:

Yes, it was a lot of driving, but I was hoping to pick up several other trades off my Want List. The Hastings Faith TPB has the Colleen Coover #2 1:20 variant cover on the front and the Hastings logo at the bottom. There won't be any more of these made since they are going out of business.

If you have a Hastings store nearby, they are having another sale on comics and graphic novels. 70% off cover price, plus an additional 20% off. :o Valid through Sunday 9/18.
