I love the Sonic the Hedgehog comics.  They're just so cheesy, you can't help but like them.

the Sonic ones look pretty cool. the issues i got span from 1993 to 2005. the variety of cover art is pretty wild. the early issues are pretty basic and they progressively get more unique art styles as different artists come and go.

Very cool!

I really like game comics but i can only get them as cheap as .50$ a piece if and when i find them.
I haven't been lucky enough to find any comic shops with a cheaper price for random comics.

I got lucky. I've been meaning to stop at a comic book store to see if they had anything but have never gotten around to it. then I manage to stumble on to a whole boatload at one stop in a thrift and for 15 cents a pop.

Well now you can go to the comic shop and just fill in the holes in your collection for 50 cents each and you'll be golden.  Be glad you waited on the comic shop.  Congrats!

I went back to the store I got the comics from and flipped through them again. It turns out I missed a few, which I now have.

The numbering sequence on the Nintendo comics is weird. I've got a few issues of Super MArio Bros. and Zelda that have the same cover and issue number but different stories inside. I checked the issue dates and they are both same volume number and same issue number but different years.

For example, I've got SMB Vol.1, Issue #4, 1990 and SMB Vol.1, Issue #4, 1991. same cover, different story. weird.

The same cover is strange.
But i know some old comic / videogame mags who did the same thing.
Every year retart their volume/issue numbering so they stayed below 12 for a couple years at least.
I think Game Pro did this.

A nice find  Cheesy, considering most thrift finds never seem to make it out of the back room before an employee buys them.
