Andrea’s Valentine Picks for 02.11.2026

Happy Valentine’s Day Comic Shop Friends! Would you like a lovely week of comics to celebrate? Need a new title to fall in love with? We’d love to recommend our favorites, so come in the shop and pick up some comics! First, a note from John: My daughter, Zoe, is going to shave her head on March 6th to raise funds and bring awareness to Blood Cancer United as part of a school project. This was all her idea, and as her father, I’m a bit scared for her, but she has my full support and her confidence levels are high. I am very proud that she picked up on a lot of what the shop represents over the years. (It helps that she’s a big Lex Luthor fan too.) Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) has a mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma while improving the quality of life for patients and their families. The organization aims to enable patients to gain more than one million years of life by 2040 through research,...

Andrea’s Boss Picks for 02.04.2026

It’s February, Comic Shop Friends! Let’s hope the shortest month of the year doesn’t feel as long as January did. Too bad that dang ol’ groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter… Good thing we have a fresh batch of comics to fill those cold winter days and nights! Late Nite Comics will be pushed back a week because the guys are heading to California for the annual ComicsPro meeting, and I can’t run a Late Nite by myself! So February’s Late Nite Comics will be the FOURTH Thursday, the 26th, from 8pm to midnight. If you get 100 or more dollar books, they’ll be 50 cents each! 50% off back issues! And because it’s our post-Valentine’s Day event, you can pull a Valentine card for free dollar comics! Make sure you mark your calendars for the 26th! MARVEL COMICS After sending Godzilla into space to save the planet, a new cosmic threat has been unleashed! The Galactic Senate is not pleased with Earth and the release of the terrifying God named Zilla, but Knull now has Godzilla under symbiote...

Andrea’s Frigid Picks for 01.28.2026

Hi Comic Shop Friends! We hope you’re all staying warm out there while these single digit temps continue. If you want to brave the cold and stock up on some reading material, we’re here to recommend our favorites, and with a ton of new comics this week! MARVEL COMICS Iron Man is back in a new ongoing series from Joshua Williamson and Carmen Carnero! Tony Stark’s genius saved his life when he created the Iron Man armor to survive, but what if he wasn’t the only great once-in-a-century scientific mind? Working with A.I.M., Madame Masque wants to find the next Tony Stark, and Tony has led her straight to the top contenders. Years ago, he had an idea, a “new nightmare”, and the contingencies he put into place may now be in the hands of A.I.M. Now it’s up to Iron Man to stop Madame Masque from creating the technology for the next great weapon. With new powers comes new responsibilities, as Rapid is learning. After helping Spider-Man stop Electro and Boomerang, Peter takes the new hero under his wing...

Andrea’s Inglorious Picks for 01.21.2026

Hi Comic Shop Friends! Hope you’re all staying warm out there! We’re going to get right to the new comics for this chilly, chilly week. MARVEL COMICS In the future, Cable was too late to stop an assassination, and he returns with no memory of what happened, and only a list of names carved into his arm. It’s up to Cable’s new team of Archangel, Hellverine, and Boom Boom to figure out who they’re after and save the first mutant president. But there’s a secret hidden in Cable’s lost memories, and the Inglorious X-Force will also have to contend with the Mutant Liberation Front and the mysterious influencer Kali, who is shaping the coming conflict between humanity and mutantkind. Written by Tim Seely, with art by Michael Sta. Maria. Another Tim Seely X-Men book this week! With artist Nico Leon, Seely flashes back to a story set after Uncanny X-Men #251 with Betsy Braddock.
