Hello, all--

We've got a busy week ahead of us: here's a quick look at the ol' calendar:
*Sun 4/1 is EASTER and we'll be OPEN REGULAR HOURS!
*Mon 4/2: all day at the shop is RESTAURANT INDUSTRY DAY where all restaurant employees get 25% OFF, and at 7pm we are the booksellers for the VCU Event HOW TO READ NANCY, wherein writers Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden deconstruct the comic strip Nancy to demonstrate its brilliance. It'll be a great talk about the nuts and bolts of what makes great comics work. James Branch Cabell Library, 3rd floor!
*Wed 4/4: local artist and Velocipal MORGAN SAWYER will be here 5-7 to sign his new Scout Comics release WELCOME TO PARADISE! It looks awesome!
*Thu 4/5 VCU professor and all around swell human Robert Meganck is giving his final talk about life and graphic design at 5pm... and we'll be on hand to help him sell his new book about these topics. Grace Street Theatre!
...and then I'm going to Chicago for a few days to handle some daughter college stuff. But worry not! Rawn will be here, ready to provide quality comics to you and your peers.

LAST CALL! The following books are debuting in a few weeks, but our orders lock on them Monday. If you want to add any to your lists, subscribers, now is the time to tell us! Thanks! 
ALIENS: DUST TO DUST (Dark Horse) This one'll be a visual feast, courtesy of master storyteller Gabriel Hardman! 
ANTAR (IDW) From the solicitation text: A despised camel driver born of an African slave mother and an Arab Noble father, Antar proves that heroes are made by embracing who we are and dreaming about what we can become.
X-FILES CASE FILES: THE FLORIDA MAN (IDW) We order pretty tightly on these, if you want it definitely let me know!
HUNT FOR WOLVERINE (Marvel) This one-shot kicks off the return of everyone's favorite appropriately aged diminutive killing machine. After this it splinters off into 4 different miniseries. 
BLACK AF: WIDOWS AND ORPHANS (Black Mask) Continuing the adventures on the world where only Black people have super powers. 
FOREVER FREE (Titan) Based on the best-selling book by Joe Haldeman! 
THE PRISONER (Titan) Remember that cool tv show from the late 60s? This is a riff on that!
