so AAFES (Army Airforce Exchange Service) has finally started shipping comics to iraq now, in the rear (america) AAFES sells comics at all the PX's (Post Exchange, like a walmart) and they finally started shipping em out, on the shelf were Daredevil 59 and 61 along with Fantastic Four 514 and 515, and some shitty chuck austen x-men comics, but the only thing i bought was ToyFare, cause i already have the daredevil's cause my dad buys em and mails em to me when ever they come out

That's awesome! Any idea on how often they'll get new stuff, or is it just luck of the draw type stuff? _________________ -Jim Clarke

My local bookstore had a comic stand the last time I went there. Nothing more than some mainstream Marvel and DC titles, but still better than nothing.
Though I don't know why they had it near the casheer and not the graphic novel section.  _________________

They see them as impulse buys. Your standing at the counter and, "oh cool! Spider-Man! I'm gonna check that out!" Cheaper than magazines, so alot of people would just pick them up for that reason alone. _________________

But they're not in the magazines section either. It's baffling. It's really too bad that they don't have any even remotely indy comics, though. I think people would far more readily jump on something like Powers #3 than they would be to jump on, say, Uncanny X-Men #984 or whatever. _________________

They've had them in Kirkuk for a while now. Still not the latest stuff, but better than nothing. |

At the borders here, the comics are as close to the magazine section as they can be without being in it. Big wall space right behind the magazines. I was surprised at how many they were carrying - still big two, but they had Runaways, for instance. Big selection. |
