Hello, all...

We've got some fun stuff coming up over the next few weeks i wanted to put into your brain. Here's a couple of calendar nugs!
*For the first time in 12 years, we are tabling at the VA COMICON next weekend-- Saturday 10/27 and Sunday 10/28! This is a test run to see how it suits us... if it's the kind of thing you'd like to see us do more of, come by our corner booth and let us know! Go HERE for deets!
*Anybody who's listened To me warble on about comics for any length of time knows that Grant Morrison is my favorite writer pretty much ever. Imagine my surprise to learn he's coming back to DC to write THE GREEN LANTERN, a 12 part story that looks to do with Hal Jordan what Morrison and Frank Quitely did for Superman in All Star Superman! To celebrate, we're hosting a MIDNIGHT RELEASE PARTY starting Tuesday, November 6th at 11:30pm, ending promptly at 1am b/c I'll be tired as all get out by then. We're determining some giveaways and promo options, watch this space for more info!

A quick note-- a favor, really-- about SUBSCRIBER BOXES.  We know as well as anyone that life gets in the way of fun sometimes, and every now and then you can't make it to the comic shop as often as you'd like. If you get an e-mail from us regarding your box, if it's getting close to or past a time limit, WRITE US BACK PLEASE. As soon as you can. Even if you're not able to come in immediately, we NEED to know what's up. And chances are we'll be very willing to work with you if we hear from you. Ignoring the email sends us the message that you don't care and you're bailing on us, and that kinda sucks. The sooner you can tell us if you're in a financial pinch, the more quickly we can evaluate the situation on our end and maybe offer some solutions. This is another case of communication being the best practice. Thanks.

LAST CALL! Speaking of communication, here is a list of titles shipping in a few weeks, for which our orders lock this weekend! Telling us you want these ideally before Monday night guarantees you get what you want! 
DR. HORRIBLE: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER (Dark Horse, mini, $3.99) Joss Whedon's bringing his beloved cult classic back to comics! If you haven't seen this musical epic, seek it out. It's great. 
GOD OF WAR (Dark Horse, Mini, $3.99) Confession: I'm video game stupid. I know this is a very popular video game, but I don't know how that'll translate to comic sales. Tell us you want this one if you do! It looks cool. 
WILLIAM GIBSON'S ALIEN 3 (Dark Horse, Mini, $3.99) This is a comic adaptation of the original shooting script for Alien 3, so I bet there's some awesome stuff we didn't see in the final cut of the movie. 
ELECTRIC WARRIORS (DC, Mini, $3.99) It's possible Steve Orlando is the most under-rated writer in comics today. In this new mini he explores a potential future of the DC Universe, and it looks sweeeeet.
BITTER ROOT (Image, Ongoing?, $3.99) A family of monster hunters set in the 20s during the Harlem Renaissance? Yeah, sign me up! 
INFINITY WARS: INFINITY WARPS (Marvel, 2 part mini, $3.99) This one looks goofier than the other Infinity Warps minis. Mister Invisible and Hot Rocks comprise the Terrific Two... if that sounds fun to you this one's a winner! 
UNCANNY X-MEN (Marvel, 12 part mini, $7.99) Okay, we really need your help with this one... note the $7.99 price tag for #1. it goes down to $3.99 after, but this is a 12 part weekly event book that's going to set up whatever they're planning for the X-Men in early 2019. My Spidey Sense tells me it's going to be good, and important. We're planning on ordering pretty strongly, but we need you to tell us HOW strong. Add it if you want it! If you don't like it beyond #1 you're not obligated to continue, but at that price point and the frequency of release we've gotta order smartly. 
FIREFLY (Boom!, Ongoing?, $3.99) Wow, Nathan Fillion sure is seeing a lot of action in the Last Call this week. It'll be interesting to see which Whedon property has more adds. This one delves into the early days of Mal's transition from soldier to scrappy survivor!
PRINCELESS: FIND YOURSELF (Boom!, Mini, $3.99) This beloved ongoing serial provides a good jumping-on point if you'd like to jump on.
LIFE IS STRANGE (Titan, Mini, $3.99) A sequel to the game! 
MINIONS: VIVA LE BOSS (Titan, Mini, $3.99) You know, from the movies n' stuff. 
BLOODSHOT: RISING SPIRIT (Valiant, Mini?, $3.99) Looking beefier and more Vin-Dieselly than ever!
