It’s time for our yearly sale for all of us who are left behind while San Diego Comicon is in full swing, our ‘Not-At-Comicon’ sale! Running the exact dates as Comicon, July 21st to the 24th, our sale features two major discounts, 50% off ALL back issues and 10% off everything else in the shop. The biggest part of the sale is that it’s one of only two times during the year (the other being Black Friday weekend) that we take over the foyer attached to our shop and fill it with all the overstock we’ve accumulated over the year. This year we’ve set a record with over 160 long boxes going out, all at only $1.00 per book. (50 cents each for 100 or more, so be ready to dig.) While the books aren’t in perfect order, we do tend to throw them in the right direction to make digging easier. This Thursday, July 21st, the first day of the sale, will also be our first “Late Night Comics” event, where we clear off the new comic table and...

Hey everyone! This week is our big summer sale at the shop, but more on that in just a bit. We’ve got new exciting issues this week too! Let’s get into it. Marvel Comics “In the land of the righteous… The X-Men claim they’re the planet’s new gods. The Eternals know that position is already filled. The Avengers are about to realize exactly how many secrets their so-called friends have kept from them. Years of tension lead to a volcanic eruption as two worlds burn. Who has leaked the X-Men’s secrets to their latest foes? Why is Tony Stark abducting an old friend? And who stands in judgment over the whole world? Judgment Day from Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti is the apocalyptic emotional event to define the summer.” After last week’s Eve of Judgement, the AXE: Judgement Day event officially kicks off now with issue #1.   One of the most underrated Marvel series of the past year or so, Defenders: There Are No Rules by Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez, was a cosmic trip. Doctor Strange, the Masker...

Hi, Carol and John’s Shoppers! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July. This week is MASSIVE, with an insane amount of new and exciting books, perfect for those back-to-work blues after the holiday weekend. Let’s check things out. DC Comics The next big Batman run begins! Chip Zdarsky has been lighting up the Marvel Universe with his Daredevil run and has been dipping his toes into the DC Universe recently too, but now he takes on the Dark Knight full-time with Batman #125 new this week. “Bruce Wayne is at a turning point, haunted by dreams of a dark future, while Gotham City billionaires are being gruesomely murdered. With the discovery of an archenemy’s involvement and a tragedy unfolding, the Dark Knight’s nightmares are just beginning. Failsafe starts here.” And while I don’t typically read the backups, this issue has the beginning of a pretty exciting one with Catwoman tasked to track down the 10 kids of the supervillain [REDACTED]. You are NOT going to want to miss out on this new Batman run. It even...

Hey everyone! Rafael is on vacation and I’m filling in, and the best way I can imagine doing it is with half-off back issues for the weekend!  It’s an incredibly small new comic week so it seems appropriate. We have also bought a couple of new collections (finally) that will be going out on Tuesday, so it seems appropriate to clear the wall out as best we can beforehand. (keep an eye out on Facebook for our rerack video on Tuesday the 7th.) So…ALL BACK ISSUES WILL BE HALF OFF FROM FRIDAY JUNE 3RD TO MONDAY JUNE 6TH! This is the last time back issues will be half off until our big “Not at Comicon” sale from July 20th to the 24th, where we will bring thousands of comics out from our storage locker at only $1.00 each, as well as half off back issues as well. (so mark your calendar!) So, on another note, my trip to Washington DC went great, and I got to talk with Senator Sheron Brown’s Office with a dozen other small business representatives from Ohio. ...
