My mother-in-law did end up giving me a $100 gift card to Mile High Comics. So let’s see how many comics I can get using Mile High Comics’ codeword – Comics! sale.
So I’m starting with the comics on my Wishlist over at comicbookdb.com that are on the Top Left and Bottom Right corners of each of the 15 pages and which comics are both on Mile High and are under $20. After that, I’m going for the cheapest comics I can get, to maximize how many I can get.

I’m hoping that my previous gift card balances cover that 21 cents as I feel silly having to take off a two dollar comic to get it under $100.00.
Going forward, I’m going to realize if the codeword is 40 percent, to make my subtotal $140 and hope for the best.
Once again, thanks to my mother-in-law, and look forward to some reviews one of these days! I finally typed all of my Father’s Day Reviews so those will be coming eventually as well. I like to get through my Current Comics then start on my back issue reviews, since it is good to stay current.
42 comics for $100.29, seems like a very good deal!
Looking over the list, I got some good comics.
Some titles that have been on my list for a while. Logan Legacy, I wanted as I started the post, hoping to buy the comic at Hastings but they sold it. All New X-Men, I have wanted ever since Hastings didn’t receive it, plus Kitty makes one of her famous speeches in it.
Got a few Classic X-Men issues, so that knocks that series down a bit. I got two comics for their Uncanny X-Men 141 homage, one being a variant so that is one less of those on the ol’ list. Eight Ultimate titles, so that is great.
Overall, a pretty good haul.
But don’t use Comics!, instead use Christmas! to save 60%.
