Hello, all--

JULY 4TH is next Saturday, and we will be OPEN for business-- but just until 4PM. Come check out some patriotic comics, then go see something explode! Preferably fireworks set off in the safest manner possible.


WE STAND ON GUARD debuts this week! It’s the first new series from Brian K. Vaughan since SAGA… it’s about Canadian civilians protecting their border against invading US robots, 100 years in the future. I can’t really stress how big a deal this will end up being-- we ordered a literal mountain but I still expect to sell out. If you want to get in on the ground floor, with a 1st printing, you gotta either tell us ASAP or come in as early as is convenient once it’s out.

LAST CALL! Our orders lock on the following debuting titles Monday night-- be sure to tell us you want them, if you do!
CYBORG (DC) Long overdue, and drawn by heavy hitter Ivan Reis!
JLA GODS AND MONSTERS: BATMAN (DC) Tying into the highly anticipated animated movie!
TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE ANIMATED (IDW) Glad they’re doing this, kids need a good T-Formers comic. I am well acquainted with one almost-4 year old whose head will explode when he sees it.
‘68: LAST RITES (Image) Zombies in Vietnam!
WOLF (Image) Ales Kot writes this new ongoing described as mystical noir-- I like!
STAR-LORD AND KITTY PRYDE (Marvel) Romance and violence on Battleworld!
ARCHIE VS SHARKNADO (Archie) The title about sums it up, no?

Hello, all--

Attached is this month’s sign-up sheet for August shipping product. It’s a smaller month, as Secret Wars and DC are well into their initiatives, but there’s some good looking funnybooks for your consideration. Have a look and let us know, ok?


KING TIGER: Maybe the best of the DH super hero line from the 90s (sorry, X & Barb Wire), supernatural kung fu at its finest! ADAM.3: Skott Kolins pulling double creative duty for the first time ever, I think? There’s futuristic punching! ZODIAC STARFORCE: A group of female teen warriors defending against aliens and monsters!
DC COMICS BOMBSHELLS: Sequential narratives featuring DCU ladies in throwback kitsch designs! GET JIRO: BLOOD & SUSHI HC: Anthony Bourdain returns to comics with this great looking sequel!
DRIVE: This looks to be an adaptation of the book that the classic film DRIVE also adapted. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES AMAZING ADVENTURES: For the kids! BOY­1: Druggy future sci­fi. STRING DIVERS: Very stylish looking underwater adventure comic. Looks good! PHONOGRAM: THE IMMATERIAL GIRL: Gillen & McKelvie revisit their cult hit! DARK CORRIDOR: Rich Tommaso is an indy gem of a talent, and here is his new ongoing noir from Image! THE BEAUTY: A world in which an STD makes you more beautiful. Then it gets weird.
SECRET WARS: SECRET LOVE: Michel (Copra) Fiffe doing a Daredevil story? That’s all I need to hear .
Additionally, there are other stories about love on Battleworld in this one­shot. HOUSE OF M: Looks like there’s some Namor & Quicksilver in this Secret Wars tie­in. HOWARD THE HUMAN: A riff on the duck by Skottie Young & Jim Mahfood! SW tie­in! HANK JOHNSON, AGENT OF HYDRA: This looks fun. A day in the life of a Hydra schlub.
WELCOME BACK (Boom!) I was hoping that would say KOTTER but nope. It’s a reincarnation assassin love story courtesy of Christopher Sebela! JOHN FLOOD (Boom!) Justin Jordan and Jorge Coelho make a formidable team! Due to government experiments, John Flood doesn’t need to sleep any more, but is in a constant state of dreaming while awake! Guh, that sounds rough. OVER THE GARDEN WALL (Boom!) Continuing and deepening the story from the amazing cartoon!
SPACE DUMPLINS VOLUME 1 (Graphix) Whaaaa? CRAIG THOMPSON’S NEW ALL AGES SCIENCEFICTION COMIC!?
STRINGERS (Oni) Marc Guggenheim writes for the Flash & Arrow tv shows, and this is about guerillanewshounds.

Now that DC’s CONVERGENCE event is done, we’d like to clear out as much of it as possible. So we are going to run a lil’ SALE on them-- HALF OFF on all Convergence related comics! They’re sitting in three short boxes near the comic racks, yours for the taking!

LAST CALL !: Our orders lock Monday night for the following comics, please let us know you want them to guarantee they’ll be in there for you!
DEATH HEAD (Dark Horse) An abandoned ancient evil village threatens to harsh the buzz of a camping vacation.
GODZILLA IN HELL (IDW) Superstar visionary JAMES STOKOE returns to Godzilla, and as the title states, sends him to the fiery pits below.
ISLAND (Image) Brandon Graham and Emma Rios spearhead this ongoing anthology series featuring the top forward-thinking talent in the biz.
CAPTAIN BRITAIN & THE MIGHTY DEFENDERS (Marvel) Secret Wars tie-in!
GUARDIANS OF KNOWHERE (Marvel) Bendis & Deodato deliver this Secret Wars tie-in, featuring the only known satellite of Battleworld!
SIEGE (Marvel) This one’ll be important. It’s all about the heroes who are forced the defend THE WALL in Battleworld!
POWER UP! (Boom!) Kate Leth creates this cute-looking addition to the Boom! line, if you like Bee & Puppycat or Help Us Great Warrior I’d recommend it.
