When I started reading Steelworks<\/em> #6, I soon realized that I’d failed to pick up #5. There were no copies of it at the comic shop, so I went online to order a copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was there, I decided to do some searching on an incomplete collecting project, one that I’ve set aside because of the difficulty of finding the right price\/condition balance for the missing issues, as the issues I need are early in the run and more difficult to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I did manage to find one issue that had the right price\/condition balance – though now that I have it, I find the condition isn’t quite where I’d like it to be – so I ordered it. However, even though this issue brings me that much closer to having a complete run, the struggle of finding it drives home just how difficult – and unlikely – it will be for me to actually successfully complete the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, even though I won’t be able to afford them anytime soon, just five more to go…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the rest of the Mail Call, we’ve got variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That wraps up this Mail Call, but the song remains the same – there will be more comics arriving at my doorstep all the time, and new Mail Call posts to tell you about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
