The Move

Not really a review of anything comic related, but rather a more personal post.

I'm planning on moving in with my girlfriend when our leases expire this July.

This is actually an awesome piece of news, and I'm looking forward to it greatly.

The issue I'm having now is that I have a massive comic book collection, and I am worried about the options I will have in the storage of my books. I currently have close to 2 full bookshelves for my trade paperbacks, and 3 closets full of long boxes, giving me about 60,000 comics. Right now, I have a 3 bedroom apartment all to myself, with lots of room to keep my books as messy as I please, but the girlfriend is a meticulous housekeeper, and I will have to shape up in time for the move. (To be fair, I'm okay with this, and have been purging my clutter regularly over the last few months.)

But I don't know what to do about the comics. I'm not getting rid of them, but I can't keep them they way I am now. I am going to have to research my storage solution options.

You girlfriend must love you very much. My husband and I are in a one bedroom apartment! He has 2 6' tall book shelves, too many long boxes, and piles of comics all over. I'm about ready to start making piƱatas out of the comics or setting some small fires.

Well, as we're getting ready to move, one thing that I must insist on is a 2nd bedroom for my stuff. Sort of an office/den. Now, I have to purge a lot of my possessions, and she's gonna have, pretty much, control of the decor in the rest of the place, so she is okay with my having one room for my books, comics, and art supplies. As it is, I'll likely be giving up more than I'll be taking with me.

What you need is some kind of wormhole dimension to store them in. When you find one, let me know where you got it...
