Hello, all--
If you’re in town next weekend you could be in for a real treat: Richmond cartoonist DASH SHAW (Cosplayers, Bottomless Belly-button, Bodyworld, and so much more) created an animated film that will be screened at the Byrd Theater next Sat 5/27 and Sun 4/28 at 4:30PM! MY ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL SINKING INTO THE SEA, with voice acting by Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Maya Rudolph, Reggie Watts, Susan Sarandon and more! It looks GREAT! Here’s the trailer:
And just the next day is MEMORIAL DAY. And we will be open for truncated hours (10-4) and having a targeted sale on specific items! There’ll be many boxes of variant covers at liquidation prices, and a bunch of other surprises! Come by before you do a kegstand at that cookout you’re planning to attend!
LAST CALL! Subscribers! Tell us ASAP if you want any of these books debuting in a few weeks so we order enough! Thanks!
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES/BUGS BUNNY SPECIAL (DC) I’m pretty into all these DC/Looney Toons mash-ups. How wonderfully absurd.
MARTIAN MANHUNTER/MARVIN THE MARTIAN (DC) I think I’ve waited my entire life for this one.
KILL THE MINOTAUR (Image) Big monster fantasy action in ancient Greece!
WINNEBAGO GRAVEYARD (Image) A family on vacation is confronted by horror on the road! By Steve Niles & Allison Sampson.
DEFENDERS (Marvel) Bendis brings the Netflix team together in comics form, with art by David Marquez. This is one I don’t know the ceiling/basement on, so your input will be very helpful.
SECRET EMPIRE UNITED (Marvel) There’s an uppity mutant territory in the new HydraCap America, and HydraCap goes to investigate.
JIMMY’S BASTARDS (Aftershock) Garth Ennis’ riff on a James Bond style character. The title implies some level of impropriety, I guess we’ll have to read it and discuss after.
JIM BUTCHER’S DRESDEN FILES: DOG MEN (D.E.) This is great example of a book I’m not sure whether to order, but will happily get you a copy if you’d like. Tell me!
NORMANDY GOLD (Titan) 70s prostitution noir! Great cover.
