Hey, Comic Shop Friends! Y’all like that Across the Spider-Verse movie? (That I still haven’t seen because I’ve been busy, busy, busy packing, and getting ready to move.) Well, you are in luck, because we just got in cases of different Spider-People! And they look amazing!

Amazing friends, and Cyborg Spider-Woman!

Sweatpants Spider-Man!

Punk’s not dead. Punk’s a Spider.

Onto events:

Coming up soon, July 20th through the 23rd, it’s our annual Not-at-Comicon sale! 50% off back issues! 10% off everything else! Tons of dollar stock filling the foyer! Who knows what you may find?

Also, that same weekend, on Saturday the 22nd from noon to 6 pm, Dave Michelinie will be here doing a signing! Details are on our website.

The VIP event is Friday the 21st from 6 pm to 9 pm for those of you who got tickets.

Also, also, just announced on last week’s Facebook live video, (You should be watching these so you get the scoop on announcements first. They’re also on our YouTube channel!) Sept 23rd we will have Phillip Kennedy Johnson at the shop for a signing! He’s the writer of the new Incredible Hulk series, which was a unanimous staff pick! More details on that to come, as this ties in with a library event as well!

There are some more cool things in the works, so stay tuned!

Some updates for next week: We will be closed on the 4th of July. That is a Tuesday, so that means we’ll be doing our new release Facebook live video on Monday the 3rd, so catch it then! Wednesday will be business as usual.

Ben is co-hosting again with Lenora at her next Midnight Rental Secret Screening at the Grog Shop on Wednesday, July 5th! Doors at 7pm, and there is an hour of sweet trailers and old local commercials before the secret film screens at 8pm. These are super fun! Maybe we’ll see you there!

Lastly, we just got in a large Star Wars collection, so check out the back issue wall for a bunch of new keys, and we’re putting out a long box of more back issues now!

INSERT MARVEL COMICS

It’s the Green Goblin’s Last Stand! Marvel presents another Amazing Spider-Man facsimile, this time it’s issue #122, from Gerry Conway and Gil Kane, where Spider-Man vows revenge on his greatest enemy, Norman Osborne!

Featuring part three of Jason Aaron and Leonard Kirk’s Hard Shutdown story, a Daniel Warren Johnson one off called Annihilated, where Vader does some serious annihilation (It is pretty rad), and the third story from writer Marc Bernardina and artist Stefano Raffaele about an Empire Lieutenant accompanying Vader on a diplomatic mission. But how diplomatic could Darth Vader really be?

Marvel and Viz present the deluxe edition of Tsutomu Nihei’s 2003 Wolverine limited series, Snikt! Bringing his signature style to the iconic X-Man, Nihei took Wolverine to a darker and more terrifying dimension.

DC COMICS

No new series or specials from DC this week, but we do get the second issue of:

This book is worth it for the Tom King and Mitch Gerads Batman: The Winning Card story alone. There’s creepy Joker, Bruce Wayne the lush, so many murders, and so many dark jokes. “Do you get it?”

The excellent Superman story also continues, and that’s the third best after Joelle Jones’s short Batman Black & White tale exploring Batman’s scars, and deepest wounds.

You should be reading this.

SMALL PRESS

Based on an idea by James Tynion IV, writer Tate Brombal and artist Isaac Goodhart bring us a coming-of-age story that is part superhero origin, part sci-fi mad science, part high school drama, part horror weirdness, and more! Christopher Chaos has known all his life that he was different. He has a brilliant mind that works in a way others don’t understand, and causes him to be an outcast. He’s lonely, guilt-ridden, and full of pain. But when he follows his crush into the woods that everyone stays away from, things get even weirder. Now he’s mixed up with werewolves and a cult of monster hunters. As Stefon says, “This place has everything.”

Hellboy is back in a new one-shot written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, with art by Alison Sampson. Hellboy is called to India to look into a series of mysterious animal attacks by Tiger-like creatures, but the myth behind them runs deeper than he and his companion think.
