Hello, all--

I have stuff to announce! Get your calendars out and prepare to synch up!

First, the in-store event: on Wednesday, April 4th from 5-7PM we'll be hosting artist MORGAN SAWYER to celebrate the release of his new book from Scout Comics: WELCOME TO PARADISE! Morgan will be on hand to sign books, talk about art and offer life hacks to make your day-to-day a lil' easier. Take a look at the cover, pretty spiffy! 
Next, an event at VCU you might like to attend: just a couple days prior on Monday, April 2nd: writers Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden come to town to discuss HOW TO READ NANCY, their tome about not *just* Nancy but a deconstruction of the nuts & bolts of what makes comics work. Should be a fantastic way to spend your 7pm to 9pm. More details in the image!
LAST CALL! These are the debuting titles shipping in a few weeks... our orders lock on them MONDAY, MARCH 26th though so we need to hear from subscribers by then if you'd like to add any of them to your lists. We want to make sure we order enough! 
BLACK HAMMER: AGE OF DOOM (Dark Horse) One of the best books on the racks returns! If you were on the list already you're still on there, no worries. 
SKYWARD (Image) Gravity goes topsy turvy in this new mystery actioner. Looks pretty good! 
HER INFERNAL DESCENT (Aftershock) Well that's certainly a bold title! But what's it about? A mom goes through hell to get her family back. That's not hyperbole-- that mom journeys into Hell. 
JEEPERS CREEPERS (Dynamite) I guess this is tied into the shlock horror movie of yesteryear? Was that any good?
SHIPPING! This is a big one... lots of good stuff coming on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28th!

Hello, all...

If you've been living under a rock, or you only go on the internet to read this newsletter (and thanks for that!), here's the final AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR trailer for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWepvH6LnEw
I've only watched it like 8 times in the past day, but I'm sure I'll work a few more in.

FINAL REMINDER! Our orders LOCK on Monday for ACTION COMICS #1000-- all the covers, on which I've banged the drum for spreading awareness just about as much as I can-- and we need to know which cover(s) you want. We'll order what we can, but I don't know how available they'll be to reorder after this. To remind you, there's a standard cover by Jim Lee, a blank cover, and decade variants that go like this:
*30s variant by Steve Rude
*40s variant by Michael Cho
*50s variant by Dave Gibbons
*60s variant by Mike ALlred
*70s variant by Jim Steranko
*80s variant by Josh Middleton
*90s variant by Dan Jurgens
*00s variant by Lee Bermejo
You have the knowledge! How will you use it?

LAST CALL! Here are the OTHER debuting titles for which our orders lock on Monday. They all ship in a few weeks. Tell us which ones you want so we order enough!
 
RESIDENT ALIEN: ALIEN IN NEW YORK (Dark Horse) A new entry in the ongoing adventures of an alien disguising himself as a doctor in a small town. This time looks like he's doing some traveling!
CRUDE (Image) a tale of revenge and discovery in Russia by Steve Orlando (Midnighter, JLA) and Garry Brown! This looks good. 
DEAD HAND (Image) More Russia based action and espionage! This time from Kyle Higgins and STephen Mooney. This one looks a bit more Cold War based. Great design aesthetic on the cover. 
DOMINO (Marvel) Gail Simone is back at Marvel, taking on the luckiest mutant except maybe Longshot! And for those that care, Greg Land is just the cover artist. David Baldeon is doing interiors. 
EXILES (Marvel) Blink is back with a new team! And eagle-eyed fans will notice that yes-- that's VALKYRIE in the bottom right corner, the Thor: Ragnarok version! Written by Saladin Ahmed, writer of the seriously good Black Bolt series! 
BROTHERS DRACUL (Aftershock) Before he was the Impaler... before he was the King of Vampires, Vlad and his brother Mort just wanted to be documentary filmmakers. But life had other plans for them-- get ready for the funniest backpacking romp of the summer!
SURVIVAL FETISH (Black Mask) The cover copy did all the work for me, I don't have to come up with a pitch!
ROBOCOP: CITIZEN'S ARREST (Boom!) It's Brian Wood's turn to pick up the adventures of everyone's favorite robotic law enforcer from the near future.

Hello, all...

First things first: HOLY MOLY WE HAVE PARKING ON OUR SIDE OF THE STREET AGAIN! It's been almost TWO YEARS since they took our parking away, so this is huge. For now it's FREE, but I was told that new parking meters have been ordered and will be installed sometime in the next month. It's unknown how long people will be able to park, I'm hoping they're 1 hour parking, but that's a question for another day. For now I'm going to run out and lay down in every spot so they know my scent.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS again this week in the world of comics. Here are a few noteworthy ones:
*DC announced BLACK LABEL: an imprint where creators can take bolder, risker choices with characters... included in the 1st wave is a WONDER WOMAN book by Kelly Sue DeConnick & Phil Jimenez, SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE by Frank Miller & John Romita, Jr, and a BATMAN story by Brian Azzarello & Lee Bermejo.
*JH Williams III and Haden Blackman made a huge wave in the comic world with their run on BATWOMAN, and since doing Sandman Overture Williams was keeping a fairly low profile. Until this week, anyway, when it was revealed that they're going to Image with ECHOLANDS. This will be the best-looking comic on the racks when it comes out, no contest. Next time you're in the shop check out the preview pages! Here's a lil' taste:
LAST CALL! Here are the titles we need YOUR HELP deciding how many copies to order! They're debuting in a few weeks but our orders lock Monday. If you see something you like, tell us! Thanks!
XERXES: FALL OF THE HOUSE OF DARIUS (Dark Horse) Frank Miller's long-gestating sequel to 300 is finally here! It's $5.99, which may or may not influence your desire to buy it. I believe in transparency, so decide what you will!
DEMI-GOD (IDW) A horde of Demi Moore worshippers descends upon Bruce Willis' house for a bitter reckoning. Not really! It's a Ron Marz/Andy Smith romp about a regular Joe getting godlike powers. 
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (IDW) For the first time ever, Sonic has switched publishers and is getting a new #1! I suspect this'll do okay. 
ANALOG (Image) That's a sweet cover. Deadpool & Guardians of the Galaxy writer Gerry Duggan returns to Image for a near-future sci-fi/crime thing where paper makes a big comeback after the internet dies. 
ISOLA (Image) You heard it here first (unless you heard it elsewhere already): this one's gonna be big. Saga/Seven to Eternity/Monstress/Maestro big. Once people see how amazing it looks they'll throw their coins at me as they run out the door in a mad dash to consume it. It's gorgeous. I hope they throw enough coins.
AVENGERS: SHARDS OF INFINITY (Marvel) This is a one shot, and I don;t think it's connected to comic continuity. Maybe not even movie continuity, but it uses movie characters & designs. 
VENOMIZED (Marvel) The final chunk of the Venomverse-related stories! Looks fun. 
HELM (Action Lab) Witch action! The hot new subgenre. 
SWASHBUCKLERS: THE SAGA CONTINUES (Dynamite) I loved this stuff as a kid, created by the amazing Bill Mantlo. Now that writer Marc Guggenheim is joining original artist Butch Guice will it still have the same pep?
CASPER & WENDY (American Mythology) New team-up adventures featuring these beloved characters from yesteryear.
