Just a quick note to thank everyone that came out to Halloween ComicFest this year. We gave out a record amount of books and has record attendance. Here’s the photo gallery of everyone who came through in costume: (I got to have a great day busting ghosts with my little buddy.)

We also wanted to let you know that we’ll be at Akron Comicon this Weekend, our favorite comic show in the area.

akron-comicon1Ben, Jason and John D will be there on Saturday, and Jason and John Shearer will be there on Sunday. We’re basically going down there to have fun and liquidate product, so be sure to look for us and say hi. I’ll also be one of the judges for the costume contest on Saturday at 4:30! (We donate participation prizes to all the kids who enter.) It’s always a fun time to check everyone out! www.akroncomicon.com

Here’s a video about some of the vendors including an interview with Ben at the end!

DOCTOR STRANGE

Doctor Strange comes out in theaters this week, and we’ve saved copies of Doctor Strange the Oath to give away in the shop this weekend. (From a previous Halloween ComicFest) This book is written by Brian Vaughan (Saga, Y the Last Man) and is considered the best modern Doctor Strange story out there. If you like the first issue there are copies of the full graphic novel on the shelf. (Marvel is even releasing a limited edition hardcover of this story for Local Comic Shop Day on November 19th.)

I try not to get too excited about DC movies anymore but it’s kind of hard not to see the potential in this one.

That’s it! Told you it would be a quick one. See you down in Akron.
