Hello, all--
VCU is back! And the three almost-car accidents I was in this week will hopefully serve as wake-up calls to the new kids who’ve never driven in a city before. It’s harrowing out there, people! Stay alert. And to all the returning students who didn’t attempt vehicular manslaughter this week, I say WELCOME BACK!
BECKY CLOONAN will be at the shop Wednesday, August 31st from 6-8PM! You probably already know that because I’ve been talking about it for like a month-- because it’s awesome! Come out and hang out with one of the coolest, nicest most metal people in all of comics!
LAST CALL! The following is a list of books shipping on September 21st, but our order quantities lock on them this coming Monday. So the best way to guarantee you get a copy is to tell us you want it NOW, so we make sure we order enough!
ALIENS: LIFE & DEATH (Dark Horse) The venerable publisher is doing a great job propping up the franchises they have left in the wake of losing Star Wars.
CYBORG (DC) Vic Stone’s new series explores the growing divide between the hero and his humanity.
RAVEN (DC) A new mini featuring the cult favorite hero before she stars in the upcoming Teen Titans series!
TRINITY (DC) Francis Manupal tackles the big 3, Rebirth style! Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman’s ongoing team-up book!
M.A.S.K. REVOLUTION (IDW) Beloved Hasbro toy property of yesteryear makes a play at the big time in the new IDW shared universe!
MICRONAUTS REVOLUTION (IDW)They’re tiny, but they’re tough!
SEVEN TO ETERNITY (Image) I can’t overstate how big a deal this one is, one of the biggest books of the year-- a heady science fiction epic by Rick Remender and Jerome Opena-- don’t get caught with your pants down on this one!
BRITANNIA (Valiant) Murder mystery, ancient Roman style. Looks very cool.
