Hello, all--

It's a holiday weekend! For many of you, perhaps. I'm here all weekend, so come see me! For Memorial Day we'll be open but will be having slightly shorter hours: from 10am -5pm. That way Rawn can get to his role as Wisconsin in the 29th Annual STATE BY STATE, A COSPLAY REFLECTION ON MEMORIAL DAY. I can't believe he's done it since he was 7, that's commitment. I would urge you all to attend but tickets sell out weeks in advance.

A quick note about AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #800 variants! You will see below that there are a lot of them. There are also a lot of people that desire them. We're going to do our best to spread them around as much as possible, I just wanted to give you a heads' up that there's gonna be competition for a lot of 'em.  
LAST CALL! Here are the titles debuting in a few weeks, for which our orders lock on Monday. If you fancy any of them, dear subscribers, please do let us know. That kind of communication helps us order the correct amount!  
BATMAN PRELUDE TO THE WEDDING: RED HOOD VS ANARKY (DC, One shot, $3.99) I think this is either the last or second to last one of these. Should be fun!

Hello, all--

By all accounts the rain is supposed to let up today and the sky will be a bit more forgiving-- much better comic buying weather than being shin deep in the murk. Which is a beautiful thing, because there is a ton of great product out this week. I'll also mention-- we have a small stack of towels here to dry you off when you get here! There's not much to get into this week, so we can dive into the good stuff.

LAST CALL! Here are the titles set to debut in a few weeks, for which our orders lock on Monday. If you're interested in any, subscribers, please tell us now so we can set our order quantities optimally! 


 
TOMB RAIDER INFERNO (Dark Horse, mini, $3.99) As I've said before, video game tie-ins are tricky to peg order-wise... even games that have a long history in comics like this one. If you want, sound off! 
BATMAN: PRELUDE TO THE WEDDING-- BATGIRL & RIDDLER (DC, One shot, $3.99) If you've signed up for any of these on=ramp one shots, we've signed you up for all of them. Do you like this newer, thuggier taker on the Riddler as much as I do?
HAWKMAN (DC, Ongoing, $3.99) He's back! Crashing out of the pages of METAL comes Carter Hall with a new purpose, courtesy of Rob Venditti and Bryan Hitch!
PLASTIC MAN (DC, Mini, $3.99) Gail Simone and Plastic Man seem like a match made in heaven, right? This should be good. 
TITANS SPECIAL (DC, One shot, $4.99) Everything's changing, and this one shot is the hinge upon which it all swings. If you're already on the list for Titans you'll get this, but I wanted to invite newly interested parties to join in on the fun. 
THE MAGIC ORDER (Image, Mini, $3.99) Mark Millar! Olivier Coipel! Magic! Crime! What else do you need to know?
PROXIMA CENTAURI (Image, Mini, $3.99) High adventure in the furthest reaches of space, from one of the most inventive minds in comics: Farel Dalymple! A must-read. 
WEATHERMAN (Image, Ongoing, $3.99) Here's the actual solicitation material, I couldn't pitch this better: Nathan Bright had it all: an awesome girlfriend, a kickass dog, and a job as the number one weatherman on terraformed Mars. But when he's accused of carrying out the worst terrorist attack in human history-an event that wiped out nearly the entire population of Earth-Nathan becomes the most wanted man alive and a target of a manhunt that spans the galaxy. But is Nathan truly responsible for such a horrific crime? And why can't he remember?
DEADPOOL ASSASSIN (Marvel, Mini, $4.99) Yep, another one of these. If you want it tell me! We'll be ordering tightly, for fear of over-saturation on the ol' Merc w/ a Mouth. 
MARVEL RISING: ALPHA (Marvel, One shot?, $4.99) In their very first team-up ever, here's Squirrel Girl and Ms Marvel! 
THOR (Marvel, Ongoing, $4.99) Jason Aaron brings Mike del Mundo on board for the last chunk of his epic Thor run. Look at all those different hammers! If you're already on for Thor this will carry over. 
THE WEEKEND PRESENTS: STARBOY (Marvel, Mini?, $3.99) Yep, musical sensation The Weekend is dipping into comics-making. 
BY NIGHT (Boom!, Mini, $3.99) John Allison has become quite the indy hitmaker with Giant Days-- this time he's with Adventure Time artist Christine Larsen for a reality warping journey of self-discovery!
NANCY DREW (Dynamite, Ongoing, $3.99) This ain't your Grandma's Nancy Drew... unless your Grandma hangs out with people waaaaay younger than she which would beg a lot of questions about what they have in common. And perhaps you'll realize that maybe you don't know your Grandma as well as you should, and maybe it's time you put some effort in. 
KONUNGAR: WAR OF CROWNS (Titan, Mini, $5.99) That's some darn fine cover making, you ask me. Epic fantasy as two brothers battle for the crown! And the perceived validation of their father!
