Featured New Releases for 12-2-2020
First off we’d like to thank everyone for all the support over Thanksgiving Weekend. We miss having our old Black Friday event but we still had a great weekend with your help.
Everyone did a great job of helping to keep our CoVid protocols intact, and we thank you for that.
MARVEL
This week the big book is The King in Black #1, the culmination of two years of Donny Cates writing Venom, and it involves the entire Marvel Universe.
Five issue mini series with lots of covers to choose from. It’s fun to see Eddie Brock finally take his place among the Marvel Heroes, and you can see even Cap and Iron Man showing him respect here. Plus, Donny Cates!
DC BOOKS
DC’s big book is my pick of the week, Batman Catwoman #1.
This book is everything the Tom King Batman run was and should have been. Crossing three timelines, past, present and future, this twelve issue mini series traces Selina and Bruce’s relationship across the years. Black Label book too, so anything goes. You’d be hard pressed not to love this story.
Right on schedule is DC’s December crossover story Justice League Endless Winter.
This nine part story jumps through timelines too, as an extinction level storm comes out of the site of the Fortress of Solitude.
Here’s a checklist for you.
Top of our Christmas Present list is the Wonder Woman Dead Earth Hardcover.
“It’s Wonder Woman as you’ve never seen her before—fighting monsters in a post-apocalyptic Earth, as brought to life in a daring sci-fi epic by visionary writer and artist Daniel Warren Johnson! Princess Diana of Themyscira left paradise to save Man’s World from itself. When Wonder Woman awakens from a centuries-long sleep to discover the Earth reduced to a nuclear wasteland, she knows she failed. Trapped alone in a grim future, Diana must protect the last human city from titanic monsters while uncovering the secret of this dead Earth—and how she may be responsible for it.”
This book is a staff favorite and we’ll be restocking it throughout the holiday season. Again, great gift for a Wonder Woman fan.
ART SHOW
There’s still time to do a cover for the art show! Stop in and pick up a free blank cover and turn it in by Sunday December 13th! The theme is comic book characters and the pandemic. Here’s a link to all the info!
Thanks to everyone who’s picked one up already!
They set a record this Thanksgiving for most meals given away in a day, so the need is there now more than ever.
Every bit helps and be sure to mark your calendar for the Art Show from December 16th to the 20th!
