Hello all!

If you like fun, comic-related activities I've got some options for you:

First: I hope you're able to make the drive up the Bethesda, MD this weekend for the SMALL PRESS EXPO! For my money it's the best showcase for independent comics in the whole dang country-- a chance for you to meet indy superstars and up'n'comers alike, and get exposed to the direction comics are heading. Many of today's A-listers (Lemire, Bendis, Cloonan, Sean Murphy, Remender, Kirkman to name a few) got their start in this chunk of the comics world, and there's always great new stuff to experience.

Next: if you're in town next weekend,, join me at FALLOUT for HEROES AND VILLAINS NIGHT! I'll be judging the costume contest again this year, it's always a great time. You can find details here! And it's the same day as BATMAN DAY-- Saturday 9/21!

Keep those dry-but-used plastic and paper bags coming in! Any step we can take to reduce new usage, we want to do it! So if you've got a russian-dollesque collection of bags within bags within bags taking space in your pantry and you don't know what to do with them, we'll take them! thanks!

LAST CALL! Here are the debuting titles shipping in a few weeks that we're spotlighting for you-- if you want any, don't sleep on them! tell us now! We want to order enough to go around for everyone but we can't gamble on every title. If no one tells us they want stuff by Monday (when our orders lock), and we can't tell whether it's gonna be a a good read, we're going to order conservatively. Communicate! 
SPELL ON WHEELS 2 (Dark Horse, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) Did you love the first Spell on Wheels mini and can't wait to see where the witch ladies' story takes them now? Or did you miss out but are dying to dive in? Either way, you'll want this! 
BATMAN'S GRAVE (DC, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) Almost 20 years ago Warren Ellis & Bryan Hitch caught lightning in a bottle with THE AUTHORITY and changed the direction of the whole comics industry. Here they reunite for a 12-parter featuring The Caped Crusader, will lightning strike twice?
JOKER: YEAR OF THE VILLAIN (DC, One-shot, $4.99, shipping 10/9/19) Of all of the Year of the Villain one-shots, this has gotta be the biggest one. Horror movie legend JOHN CARPENTER writing a Joker story? Wow!
RWBY (DC, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) The beloved monster-hunting academy gets its own mini from DC, by ex-Richmonder Marguerite Bennett and current Italian Mirka Andolfo! 
TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE: BATMAN KNIGHTFALL (DC, One-shot, $5.99, shipping 10/9/19) What's darker the Bane breaking Batman's back over his knee while the craziest villains in Gotham City break free? Find out here! 
COBRA KAI: THE KARATE KID SAGA CONTIINUES (IDW, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) Runner-up for longest title of the week! I don't know what the interest level is on this one, so you'll really have to tell me if you want it. A big selling point: the mighty Kagan McLeod is doing the art! He's a beast! 
DOCTOR DOOM (Marvel, Ongoing, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) I sincerely think this is going to be HUGE-- writer Christopher Cantwell is one book away from exploding onto the A-list, and I think this is it. If you haven't read his other comics (She Could Fly, Everything) you're really missing out. His layered, complex writing style has a lot of gut to it, and it'll be perfect to explore the King of Latveria's life. 
JOURNEY TO STAR WARS: RISE OF THE SKYWALKER-- STAR WARS ALLEGIANCE (Marvel, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) Winner of  the Longest Title of the Week, no contest! Looks like this'll fill in some gaps between episodes 8 and 9. 
SHOPLIFTERS WILL BE LIQUIDATED (Aftershock, Mini, $3.99, shipping 10/9/19) let's see... a security guard for the largest retail chain in the world discovers a society living underneath the store. Hmm, promising premise.
SHIPPING! Tons of great stuff out this week, notably some long-awaited trade paperback collections! It's all here for you WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th:
