Secret Wars 2099 #1. It was okay. I think it'll play better in trade. Secret Wars Inferno #1. Pleasantly surprising. Secret Wars Journal #1. The 1602 Kate Bishop story was disappointing in spite of the Punisher Sheriff and, y'know. The presence of Kate Bishop. Which usually improves a comic automatically. The Egyptia story was pretty cool though. Secret Wars Old Man Logan #1. Haven't read it yet, but I hear good things.
Batman #41 (Greg Capullo Regular Cover) Batman Superman #21Ardian Syaf Regular Cover) Uncle Scrooge #3 (Cover A Marco Rota) The Goon TPB Vol. 1 Nothin' But Misery (Since Hellboy is out of the spotlight I wanted to try something different) Saga #29
Hit the bins today while waiting for my next DCBS order. Here's what I got:
1963 #6 Brooklyn Dreams Volume 1 & 3 Dazzler #26 The Fox #5 This is the Dean Haspiel/J.M. DeMatteis series from 2013-2014. Slingers #0 & 4 Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti #1 & 2
This lot actually contained issues 1-20, two annuals, the -1 Flashback, and a square bound issue with Doctor Strange. I remember one of the geeks mentioned they loved these books (maybe it was @Adam_Murdough ?) - I've never read any of the series, but liked the concept so when I saw them, I just placed them on my "watch list" and set a reminder on my phone. Also picked up issues 1-3 of Amazing Spider-Girl from the same seller for the same price, a little less for shipping too, which was very reasonable.
Probably just someone trying to liquidate their collection. I suppose it's a fate that awaits us all, eventually.
Picked up Untold Tales of Spider-Man 1-23 for .55 cents and shipping
All in VF-NM shape!??!
Great purchase! Untold Tales is one of my favorite Spidey series.
Also, if you don't own it already, look for Amazing Spider-Man Annual '97 when you're back issue hunting. It's a nifty tie-in with Untold Tales Annual '97. The Untold annual introduces a villain called Sundown and the Amazing annual brings him back into the present day continuity which adds some cool legitimacy to Busiek's stories in continuity.

Hey thanks for the tip @Evening639 - I will put that on my scavenger hunt list!
The wife and I hit some flea markets this weekend. My purchases included:
Comics: Abadazad #3 Animal Man #46, 47, 50, 63 & 64 Blue Devil #10, 14, 15, 18 & 20 D4VE #1 Eternal Warrior #11 The Last One #1 The Power Of Shazam! #29 Ms. Marvel #14 Sex Criminals Volume One Sovereign Seven #10, 16, 30, 36 & Annual #1 The Spectacular Spider-Man #245, 251, 253, 258 a Whitman reprinting of issues #34 &36 of the Gold Key Star Trek series X-Men And The Micronauts #4
Non-comics: Starfleet Academy #1: Worf's First Adventure by Peter David A box of the 1991 25th Anniversary Star Trek trading cards
All in all a pretty good two days. I love flea markets! They're the only places I know of where one can purchase jazz fusion records, Sinclair Lewis novels and softcore cable skin flicks on VHS in the same building!
DC Batman #41 Detective #41 Earth 2 Society #1 Harley Quinn #17 Injustice Gods Among Us Year Four #3 New Suicide Squad #9 Red Hood and Arsenal #1 Starfire #1
Picked up the Vertigo adaptation of Neil Gaimen's Neverwhere from my LCS after winning it in an auction on eBay. Won issues 1-8 for $3! I thought it was the complete story, but it appears as though it's a nine issue story. D'oh! Now I gotta track down #9.
1963 #3 Arion, Lord Of Atlantis #24 Blasters Special #1 Camelot 3000 #7-12 Dune #1 The Last Days Of Animal Man #3 Marvel Tales #113 & 253 The Power Company #3-9 Slingers #7 Soulsearchers And Company #51, 54-55 & 60 The Super Friends #37
Grayson #9 - I've enjoyed the series from the beginning. Having an appearance by a Knight from Checkmate in the original costume made this issue all the better!
