Mike, do not let anyone tell you that the name "Lunch Money Comics" goes against spending a lot of money on comics. Your love for comics at least partially comes from spending lunch money on comics as a kid. I had a similar path growing up. Birthday money or lunch money went to buying comics in the 70s as a kid for me.
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
Never let anyone tell you that you get stuff because you are on UA-cam. I have watched a lot of comic videos this past week, and by far, your channel is the best. You're really genuine, down to earth, and just a decent guy. I think you are given stuff because you show a lot of respect to others. Unfortunately, now a day's people come across as entitled. Really been bingewatching your channel.
Amazing $3 bins....wow. I would of swoop up all that Groo. Anywho my favorite pickup of yours was Punisher #1 because I wanted issue 1 as a kid and I still don't have one....yet. I recently picked pick up God Loves, Man kills. I have to bump that up on the read list.
$59! I gotta move to the States just to get deals on comics. That looked like such a fun time in the shop with the $3 boxes. Even as a viewer, everyone's excitement carried through in your footage 🙌
Also notice you got X-Men #4. And at the same time there was the special edition X-Men #1 you passed by in the box, which technically has omega Red's 1st appearance, and not #4.
Danggg those Marvel Legends action figures was my first foray into comics as a kid. Memories. Cards ended up winning my interest, but I still appreciate comic culture.
It's hard to find the comic's you want in the UK so getting the punisher no1 here for £15 pounds was good for me as I've been looking for it all my life I'm 50 this year so I was super happy with that 😊just wow for your comic hunt absolutely loved it 🤩
Mind blowing that you found all those awesome books for $3! Looks like you and the boys had a lot of fun on your crawl. Thanks for taking us along for the journey and sharing it with us Mike 👍
Love the doohicky! Love watching people flicking through comic boxes. Loving the show Mike. I hope you realise when you say "awesome" an angel loses it's wings! Best regards and sarcasm from the UK.
Wow Mike some great gets. Crazy how many good books were in those $3 bins. That was amazing of Murf to gift you that Byrne sig book. He was at a con once that I went to and he shutdown a person that wanted an X-Men book signed and he told him that he will never sign another X-Men book. So that's a special one there. God loves man kills is a great read. Getting that signed will be awesome. 👊🏼
Looked like a great comic day. Smiles all around. It was great to see how truly touched you were to receive the John Byrne autographed Uncanny 281. It would be a great wall book for you, not based on value but sentimentality. I think that might make a good video at some point, the top 10 comics you have sentimental ties to, and the story behind them. Great video as always.
So happy for you and jealous of the comic community up there. My heart was racing at that $3 box and the fact that everyone was so gracious to each other did my heart good. This is how things should be in life. Great video as usual.
The luck you have continues to amaze me. I've said it once and I will say it again ...good things come to good people. You put so much positivity out that it comes back to you ten fold. Keep sharing the videos. You are one of the good ones!!!
You thumbed past Marvel Tales 81 & 83 in the $3 box. 81 has bonus Spidey Romita sample newspaper strips and 83 has the back up story "Goodbye to Linda Brown". A 5 page Ditko story that has Aunt May and Uncle Ben... 2 months before AF15 was published.
Just recently came across your channel. Needless to say I’ve been binging your videos. It’s reinvigorated my love for collecting comics after a 20 year sabbatical. Thanks for your content and influence for me to get back to finding comics in the wild. Best wishes
Oh wow, I’m very happy to hear that, it means a lot to me! Glad you are finding some enjoyment from the channel and I hope you enjoy getting back into the hobby, I think it’s a great time to be a collector!
Man, I'm from Argentina and I love watching your videos, to see what i'm missing here, the collections, the nostalgia, the hunts... Thanks for sharing all of this, and OH MAN THIS SHOP. It'S like a COMIC MALL.
I literally can’t watch videos like this. I’m screaming at the screen on all the books I need and want for $3!!! Oh man!! Great content as always brother! Huge fan!
That $3 sale is mind blowing and the kindness everyone shared towards each other. I wanted to bring out a strange incident that your video reminded me of me off. I was at a comic show. There was a guy selling books at amazing prices. We all were pulling books left and right. Well out of nowhere one guy started hissing at everyone. Around him like a cat or a cobra. If you tried to look at the boxes next to him he would hiss or growl like an angry cat. I’ve never seen anything like it. I thought it might be a mental issue problem. Though apparently the old guy does it all the time. Definitely not acceptable at all, along with really bizarre. Back to your channel I really love it and I’m always excited to sit and watch one to see your adventures in comic finds
I owned superman vs spiderman twice the one you were handling is in way better condition than the one I have also have superman vs Muhammad Ali both I decent condition not great but decent.
Wow!!! Looks like everybody had a awesome time. Definitely wish they had something like that in my area. Congratulations on all of the awesome books that you got. I truly enjoy your videos and your awesome attitude. Keep up the great job!!! 😎
Hey Mike just received my Shang chi I paid 90 English pounds sterling for it on ebay......it was to good to be true because it has a tear in the corner which the seller tried to hide, annoyed beyond reason i made a complaint however. It just made me throw a tantrum and actually read my collection again gee I am fifty years old this year and I am still collecting when am I going to grow up never.Oh by the way the comic book shop I worked in was called skinny melinks, and before that it was located somewhere else but was called quality comics Bruce Paley and Dez skinn worked with Alan Moore who I randomly met years later anyway still enjoying watching all your posts.
I just got a large Star Wars marvel book like that out of a dollar bin. It’s really rough I mean it’s haggard however, you’re right I felt tiny looking through it and it took me right back to being a kid all over again those large prints are really cool.!!
Thank you for the video. Don’t listen to negative comments that’s the worst part of you tube always gonna have people no matter what you do they always have something to say and the worst thing is sometimes it’s not true what they say don’t feel bad that comes with the job of being a good UA-camr do you know how many people knows about this Comic place after they see this video a lot so you are helping the LCS and don’t justify for those people who gives you negative comments love your videos
What a great community you are a part of! So happy you got a 1st edition God Loves Man Kills! Without admitting I'm old, I got my 1st edition copy many years ago hot off the press! Great job, Mike - love your channel!
I love the Superman versus Spider-Man. When I was a kid I absolutely wanted that so bad and never got it. Then a few years ago I found a copy of that plus Batman versus the hulk. And getting those two is what really got me back into collecting comic books. Great fine on all your books. Keep up the good work!
Incredible video Mike! Those 3 dollar deals were INSANE!! I'd have to say my favorite pick up was the Superman vs Spiderman because I recently picked up one myself recently and also that signed Xmen by John Byrne, also my favorite artist! Love the generosity and "brotherhood" of your comicbook community! Take care!
Wow, that $3 box was incredible, you just kept on pulling out gold. Coincidentally just read GOD LOVES MAN KILLS yesterday for the first time. Really great alright. Defo a foundational story for the X-Men. And you can see it's influence on the films. Love the Spidey vs Superman treasury too. Brilliant picks all round this video!
Wow brings back so many memories the super man vs spider man I got that one when I was a kid for practically nothing cuz it was so long ago.My copie was in beautiful condition 9.2 probably better awesome buys.Great video love the channel.
I don't think that spiderman #1 was gold. I believe it was considered bronze. But to be fair even I thought it looked gold back in the day, but they label it as bronze. Also the silver and platinum cover look very close in look.
Me and a friend and big buyer / seller in our area were going through some John Byrne FF's at a local LCS and we found a stack, probably 15 that were signed back in the day at a local con, so we split em between us( based on our fave covers) and we got em for $3 each as well. Even now every time I come across Byrne FF's I look to see if they're signed
@@robertt9342 yeah current prices on most comics appear crazy to me. Especially considering 80s and 90s comics were printed in massive numbers compared to the past 20 years. Many distributors and larger shops and chains warehoused lots of comics in crazy amounts. Hundreds of copies of many issues and even higher quantities of "hot" comics. The current prices make no sense.
man im sooo jealous! there are a few places where i buy comics in my town, but they all charge way too much! im paying pretty much ebay prices for the same books that you guys paid 3 bucks for! i need a new town! lol! Love your channel Mike, you inspired me to re start my comic collecting, and now im hooked again! lol!
Definitely no books for $3 like in those long boxes in my part of town. No chance! It would have hurt to spent most of my money at the first two stops!
Wow. 59 dollars for all those comics. I’m getting close to retirement even though I’m middle age, I told my wife we are moving to somewhere in New England when the final two kids graduate. I thought she would have an issue with the move because she wants to live on the beach down south. To my surprise, my wife , my wife said that would be a good idea. I’m still trying to figure out if she is serious or if she is serious. Thought, I would share the experience 😊
I would’ve grabbed that V for Vendetta #2 from the $3 bin in a heartbeat
Probably some of that Mike Grell Green Arrow as well!
Those $3 bins are ridiculous I'm so jealous.
Was a set up

Hey, it is my go-to comic spots. I do my weekly shopping at counterplay comics. I visit comically speaking often. 2 fantastic stores

Wow best $3 dollar bin I’ve ever seen. Would have pulled about half a short box or more of books. Nice finds!
Mind blowing that you found all those awesome books for $3! Looks like you and the boys had a lot of fun on your crawl. Thanks for taking us along for the journey and sharing it with us Mike 👍
First 😂 love your videos

Awesome awesome comment!
Woe Im jealous for sure Amazing deals
Great pickups Mike and it was great to see you again!
WOW!
What an amazing day of comic finds! :)
Congrats on the finds AND the gift! ;)
Counterplay Comics had the KRAZY $3 BOX sale... glad you had fun 😊
God Loves, Man Kills was a real eye opener for me when I was 11.
That’s some serious stuff for an 11 year old!

You seem nice and your kindness to these people is reciprocated. Nothing wrong with being gifted books because you have a UA-cam channel too.

Killer!! X Men # 100 in the $3 box!! WOW!
What time of the video do you see X-Men 100? I don't see it
Just rewatched.. must've been distracted. It was a # 258 w/ the Star Jammers on a White cover.. Sorry to send you on a wild goose chase!!@@pauls1116
I hope Mike makes loads of new videos I think I have viewed them all in less than a week.
So happy for you and jealous of the comic community up there. My heart was racing at that $3 box and the fact that everyone was so gracious to each other did my heart good. This is how things should be in life. Great video as usual.

...good things come to good people. You put so much positivity out that it comes back to you ten fold. Keep sharing the videos. You are one of the good ones!!!
This has sparked an interest for me to do this with some of my local shops. I tend to solo shop but getting a community involved would be so cool.
Let me know how it goes!
Mean while Otto is looking in the window watching u guys pilage😂
That’s why I chose the photo, LOVE that!
Pretty cool Irish pub ☘️ So fun taking that trip/crawl with you, buddy!
You thumbed past Marvel Tales 81 & 83 in the $3 box. 81 has bonus Spidey Romita sample newspaper strips and 83 has the back up story "Goodbye to Linda Brown". A 5 page Ditko story that has Aunt May and Uncle Ben... 2 months before AF15 was published.
Multiple acts of kindness and an amazing $3 bin....mind blown. Those prices scream lunch money comics. Well done mike and thanks for sharing.
great times..... lots of love
Loved the pub. I will have to get a comic store crawl together. Sadly, I UA-cam as I do not have comic fan friends, but someday! 😊
I LOVE the new camera doohickey thing. The whole video is smooth and really gives me a sense of the hunting vibe.
Craziest $3 comics I’ve ever seen! Well done!

Best Book: Superman/ Spiderman Treasury, by a mile!!
What a killer day of comic hunting! Congrats Mike! Love that you got a 1st print of God Loves Man Kills!
It was like a feeding frenzy holy cow - never seen that many grow men giggling like school kids. Definitely some great finds.
Man, I'm from Argentina and I love watching your videos, to see what i'm missing here, the collections, the nostalgia, the hunts... Thanks for sharing all of this, and OH MAN THIS SHOP. It'S like a COMIC MALL.
That reminds me of a shop my way. Boxes are unpicked!
I’m peanut butter and jealous of those $3 boxes 😩
Great video!
I literally can’t watch videos like this. I’m screaming at the screen on all the books I need and want for $3!!! Oh man!!
Great content as always brother! Huge fan!
Haha I get that a lot! Thanks for trying to watch though!
fantastic haul bro so Cool 😎 loved to have been there
Sensational She Hulk number 1 for $3 Crazy good deal. I would have bought that in a second 😄

Cannot believe those deals
Awesome! That Supes-Spidey book is like reading a comic book in Imax. 🙂

You collect mostly what my son wants to collect..can't wait to show him your awesome X-Men goods !!
That last shop.....😮😮😮😮😮😮
Now, that is an amazing LCS. Wish I was around there. Great gets Mike!
What a great community you are a part of! So happy you got a 1st edition God Loves Man Kills! Without admitting I'm old, I got my 1st edition copy many years ago hot off the press! Great job, Mike - love your channel!
Learned a lot and seen really cool books by watching these videos. Much love and appreciation from Finland.

that big superman vs spiderman is something ive never heard of and now need lol

Damn, those deals are nuts! Always wanted a copy of God Loves Man Kills, but can never find it when I’m comic hunting but have read it digitally
Wow awesome books and amazing deals!! Wish I could’ve come along for this great comic crawl, maybe next time. Great video! Love this community.
What did you think about Claremont's second stint on X-Men (# 281 onward)?
Wow, that $3 box was incredible, you just kept on pulling out gold. Coincidentally just read GOD LOVES MAN KILLS yesterday for the first time. Really great alright. Defo a foundational story for the X-Men. And you can see it's influence on the films. Love the Spidey vs Superman treasury too. Brilliant picks all round this video!
Thanks! And yes that X-men story is so good, but also some pretty heavy stuff!
TOTALLY INSANE!!!
Wow what a great comic picking day ! Great finds ! The fellowship alone was priceless !
I am so jealous of the great comic stores in your area. Are comic shops in Maryland always think they have gold and never have great deals like this.
Something tells me, Mr. Akins is about to freak out over that John Byrne book…
Love all of them!!!!!!!!!
Passed up a $3 Klaus Janson signed DK #4! Wish that store was near me.
Great haul!!
I want to Live in New England USA, Yous have some many Great Comic Shops! ❤ Great Videos Mike!
OMG! How could you pass that MK! 😂 Awesome video. Jealous!
Nice seeing everything you picked up, Mike. I was standing next to you when Murph gave you that Byrne sig…great guy in an awesome community
Agreed John, you are all such a great group of people to spend the day with!
Wow brings back so many memories the super man vs spider man I got that one when I was a kid for practically nothing cuz it was so long ago.My copie was in beautiful condition 9.2 probably better awesome buys.Great video love the channel.
A great concept. I would love a crawl near me. I really enjoy your videos !!
I would love to do a comic crawl. However there are no comic book shops around here.
I don't think that spiderman #1 was gold. I believe it was considered bronze. But to be fair even I thought it looked gold back in the day, but they label it as bronze.
Also the silver and platinum cover look very close in look.
Dang...Awesome Selection! I def. would have grabbed one of those DONATELLO's !!

Even now every time I come across Byrne FF's I look to see if they're signed
Those are all really nice books at any price, but for $3? That's unbelievable!!
My mouth was agape seeing how many $20-40 keys were in those $3 bins.
Probably not really worth 20-40, we collectors over pay too much, but I agree with the sentiment

I’m curious what movie those guys were talking about in the toy store 😂😂😂
Haha I should ask!
Great show guys, thank you
Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!
