Hello, all--

First a quick word on the pricing of last week’s Amazing Spider-Man #25. Marvel has been periodically putting out $10 single issues; not only have I heard your displeasure, I agree. It sucks, and it’s alienating. My advice to anyone who objects to this practice-- take 5 minutes and e-mail Marvel! They need to know fans are not just going to blindly cough up whatever amount of dollars they arbitrarily decide to slap on a given issue. There should be email addresses to editors either on a letter’s page or in the back of the book. I’m gonna email them too.

Thanks to all who made it out to our LADIES’ NIGHT release party for Megan James’ Innsmouth #2! It was a frenetic, fun night! If you weren’t able to make it, Brooke Allen signed all of our Lumberjanes TPs and we have ‘em out for sale! Ain’t she the coolest?!?

LAST CALL!
ROSE (Image) High fantasy ongoing from writer Meredith Finch and artist Ig Guara, who is so good he deserves a big hit comic.
ROSE1.jpg
BLACK PANTHER: THE CREW (Marvel)  Ta-Nehisi Coates is bringing together T’Challa, Storm, Misty Knight, Luke Cage and more for a rough and tumble street level team book!
BlPanCrew1.jpg
DEADPOOL VS PUNISHER (Marvel) If you’re not sick of these characters popping up in as many books a week as they do, you might enjoy this mini!
DeadpoolPun1.jpg
WEAPON X (Marvel) A gaggle of Marvel’s stabbiest mutants come together to fight anti-mutant humans, Written by Greg Pak, who is excellent! And drawn by Greg Land, whose name is also Greg!
WeaponX1.jpg
X-MEN BLUE (Marvel) The time-displaced teenage X-Men fall under the guiding hand of their worst enemy! Not acne-- MAGNETO!
XMenBlue1.jpg
GODSHAPER (Boom!) Simon Spurrier is one of the great writers in comics who hasn’t popped up into the A-List yet. Maybe this’ll change that-- a story where there’s a God for every person on Earth except the Godshapers-- godless social pariahs that have the ability to shape other people’s gods (as the name suggests lolz). Looks weird and cool!
Godshaper1.jpg
GREATEST ADVENTURE (Dynamite) The greatest heroes from the worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs come together, in a book written by Fables’ Bill Willingham!
GreatestA1.jpg
Z NATION (Dynamite) This ties into a tv show? About zombies? I’ve never heard of it. Any good?
