Hello, all--

It took some time, some grit and determination, and some remembering to get it done while we were all in the same room. And I apologize for the delays and any discomfort experienced from said delays. But I am happy to announce the winner for the DRAW MONTHLY! SPACEBOY art-making contest has been decided. MAT NICHOLSON, come on down and claim your winnings! While you get to decide the the subject of the next DRAW MONTHLY! Challenge, we are going to take a break for the rest of the summer and ramp back up with your chosen character in September. Here’s a look-see at the winner! Great work, sir!

And to let you know in advance: we will be OPEN on Monday, July 4th for holiday hours: 10am to 3pm. If you need any last minute patriotic comics, you know where to go!

LAST CALL! Add ‘em if you want ‘em! Our orders lock on the following titles set to debut in a couple weeks on Monday night.

BLACK HAMMER (Dark Horse) I predict this’ll be one of the best books of the year. Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormstom bring us this story of fantastical characters written out of their continuity by a multiversal crisis and sent to live on a mysterious farm.

GROO: FRAY OF THE GODS (Dark Horse) More Sergio Aragones in our lives is only a good thing.

BATGIRL AND BIRDS OF PREY REBIRTH (DC) The original band--Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress-- is back together! This’ll be pretty darn good.

HELLBLAZER REBIRTH (DC) Adding Swamp Thing to the cast and returning the con artists bastard back to London where he belongs.

JUSTICE LEAGUE (DC) The big guns, the A-List, the varsity squad. By Bryan Hitch and Tony Daniel.

HUNT (Image) Supernatural Irish horror with a modern twist! Looks good.

SNOTGIRL (Image) Bryan Lee O’Malley’s writing his first ongoing series! Do you need to know anything else?

DEADPOOL & THE MERCS FOR MONEY (Marvel) Now ongoing.

BETTY & VERONICA (Archie) In the same vein as recent Archie launches, and by comics legend ADAM HUGHES!

ADVENTURE TIME COMICS (Boom!) The best cartoonists around get to do their own take on the beloved cartoon! First up- Tony Millionaire!

SOMBRA (Boom!) Mexican drug cartels, created by an artist with first person knowledge!

FAITH (Valiant) The hit miniseries becomes an ongoing series!

SHIPPING! Usually when there are 5 Wednesdays in a month, the 5th one is weak sauce for comics. Not so this time, it’s jam packed! Arriving WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29:
