Hello, all…

I’m a little punchdrunk from our SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY SALE (still going on today until 7!), but I’ll do my best to form some complete sentences. There’s not a whole to report or announce, so we’ll just dive into the nitty gritty:

LAST CALL! Here they are, subscribers: the books set to debut in a couple weeks, for which our orders lock Mondaynight. If you could tell us before that what you’d like to add, that’d help us order the correct amount and ensure everyone that wants copies can get them.

EMPOWERED & SISTAH SPOOKY’S HIGH SCHOOL HELL (Dark Horse) Adam Warren’s cult favorite comes back with a new flashback mini, drawn by Carla Speed McNeil!

HELLBOY KRAMPUSNACHT (Dark Horse) If the title is not a strong enough selling point (and c’mon, it really should be), how about a comic written by Mignola and drawn by ADAM HUGHES?

JOE GOLEM, OCCULT DETECTIVE: FLESH & BLOOD (Dark Horse) Speaking of Mignola, more of this!

30 DAYS OF NIGHT (IDW) Steve Niles returns to the book that made him rich and famous!

ASSASSINISTAS (IDW) The 2nd book in IDW’s ambitious Black Crown world of interconnected books (along with Kid Lobotomy), and this one’s drawn by industry legend Gilbert Hernandez!

BACKWAYS (Aftershock) Says there’s some magic, mystery and mayhem in these here pages. If that appeals to you, check it out!

JIM HENSON, STORYTELLER: FAIRIES (Boom) Another anthology mini, lots of different creators doing their take on a fairy story!

QUANTUM & WOODY (Valiant) They’re back! Without Christopher Priest. But still.

Hello, all…

Did you know today, Saturday 11/18 is LOCAL COMIC SHOP DAY! It’s true! This is a national initiative to celebrate the best places to buy funnybooks, from the people who (ideally) live and breathe this stuff and love getting good reading material into your hands. To commemorate, we have limited quantities of highly collectible variant covers for some great books! Maestros, Captain America and Rick & Morty are but a few of them! Come on by if’n you’ve got the time!

DOOMSDAY CLOCK is coming… and we’re having a MIDNIGHT RELEASE PARTY so you can get it as quickly as possible! We’ll be opening up for just an hour on Tuesday night 11/21 11:30 to 12:30! We’ll have 4 different covers available, as well as lithographs and pins! What a party!

Next Saturday. 11/25 is SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY! And we’re having our GIGANTIC TWICE YEARLY SALE! Here’s what we’re doing:
*from 10-12 it’s the EARLY BIRD sale-- 30% off EVERYTHING!
*for the rest of the day it’ll be 25% off everything.
*There’ll be extra sale bins throughout the shop with deeper discounts!

LAST CALL! Here they are, subscribers: the books set to debut in a couple weeks, for which our orders lock Mondaynight. If you could tell us before that what you’d like to add, that’d help us order the correct amount and ensure everyone that wants copies can get them.

GIANTS (Dark Horse) It’s always nice to see some newcomers throwing down and trying to make cool comics. This one’s about giant monsters!

RUMBLE (Image) Weird gods and weirder monsters roam (and fight in) the modern world in this returning series… this time with A-list artist DAVID RUBIN!

TALES OF SUSPENSE #100 (Marvel) Marvel brings back the ol’  title as a vessel for Winter Soldier and Hawkeye to track down the considered-dead-by-most Black Widow! Note: this only runs for 5 issues.

MONSTRO MECHANICA (Aftershock) A new series starring Leonardo Da Vinci, his lady apprentice, and their wooden robot.

JUDAS (Boom!) An exploration of the biblical character in the vein of Preacher and The Goddamned. With stunning art by Jakub Rebelka!
