Here's What's New

Andrea’s Petrol Picks for 11.08.2023

Hello Comic Shop Friends! We’ll get into some shop news first, then on to this week’s new books! First, a note from John: “Well, thanks to the Herculean efforts of the staff, the back room was completely emptied, and we got new carpet installed without any interruption to our hours. However, next Monday and Tuesday (November 13th and 14th), we will be closed to do the same with the storefront. We’ve been in this location for over twelve years and it was time to freshen things up a bit. Please do your part to help us out by making plans to come in and pick up your file this weekend! It helps us twofold by lightening the load of things we have to move (already an overwhelming task) and adding some sales to help cover the two days we have to close. Thanks for the support and here’s to a fresher look in the shop.” “We also thought everyone would like to see the fully exposed Rust Belt Monster Murals hanging in the back room that we use as backdrops...

Andrea’s Picks for 11.01.2023

Hey there Comic Shop Friends! Hopefully, everyone had a Happy Halloween! We are ready for a fairly quiet November here in the shop, after all the events in October. I missed the last two because I took some time off to finish out my spooky season, but thank you to everyone who came out for Sarah Kuhn and Laura Siegel Larson’s signing, and to everyone who celebrated Halloween in the shop with free comics! We also just hit our 33rd year of business! Here’s to another 33 years! Please help us out by picking up your files, so we can get ready for the new carpet installation! The less we have to move, the better! We will be closed Monday, November 13th, and Tuesday, November 14th for the installation, and the back room is being done this coming weekend, so please pardon our dust as things are in transition. Since this is going on, and we’ll be having our Black Friday weekend sale in November, we’ll be skipping a month of Late Nite Comics. And, just announced! This year’s theme...

Trick or Treating at CNJComics 10-28-2023

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that we’ll be hosting in-shop trick or treating from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, October 28th! We’ve had a lot of fun decorating the shop this year and it really shows as you look around the place. We’ve got lots of comics and candy to give away, with Marvel producing five books that were made just for the day! We’ve also got a few other trick-or-read books, including the Cooking with Monsters Feastiary, an IDW Dark Spaces Sampler (adults only), and two manga books from Kodansha. You’re welcome to take one of each as well as some candy. (we have a lot.) We’ll set up a DIY photo backdrop outside, as well as our mechanical “Lewis” talking pumpkin ghoul. (apprently he’s trending according to my daughters.) We have also decided to do 50% off all back issues all day except for the wall. (we just reracked it!) This will be the last time for half of back issues until Black Friday weekend. We’ve also decided to put out a box of free...
