Andrea’s Hellfire Picks for 07.26.2023

Happy Christmas in July, Comic Shop Friends! July Santa brought you… a table full of new comics! First, a huge thank you to everyone who came out last Friday and Saturday for Dave Michelinie’s events. Thanks to you we were able to donate $3500 to PurringPals! Dave posted this wonderful message. No big events in August, but our next signing will be September 23rd, with Phillip Kennedy Johnson, writer of the great new Incredible Hulk! Issue #2 is out this week, and we stocked up on issue #1, so make sure you pick one up. Then we have a bunch of awesome things happening in October, and I’m not just talking about Halloween. Mark Waid, Sina Grace, and Sarah Kuhn will all be here! More details to come on those! MARVEL COMICS The second issue is just as good as the first. Like Hulk? Like horror?

Andrea’s Insomnia Picks for 07.12.2023

Hi Comic Shop Friends! We have new shop shirts! There are black and gray ones for sale for $25 each! We have small through XXXL. (Sorry the orange and blue are just for staff. We know you’re envious.) If you read John’s email last week, you’ll know that we will not have a Late Nite Comics in July, because that third Thursday is the start of our Not-At-Comicon Sale! You don’t have to stay up late to get those dollar books, because the lobby will be full of them all weekend! Back issues, including the wall books, will be 50% off and everything else (Yes everything!) in the store will be 10% off! The sale starts Thursday, July 20th, and runs through Sunday, July 23rd. And if you haven’t been paying attention, Dave Michelinie will be here on Saturday the 22nd from noon to 6 pm signing! We have a section of Michelinie books on our rec wall if you need to pick something up to get signed. All the details about that are in John’s email as well. Next...

David Michelinie Signing and “Not-At-Comicon” Sale at CNJComics

Hey everyone, John D here! It’s almost time for our yearly “Not-At-Comicon” Sale, and this year we have a special treat! Writer David Michelinie will be joining us on Saturday for a signing! “Not-At-Comicon” is our biggest sale of the year, running from Thursday, July 20th to Sunday, July 23rd! It has two major discounts, 50% off all back issues (including the wall) and 10% off everything else in the shop. (Yes, everything!) We also fill the foyer with dollar stock, so get ready to do some digging. All books in the foyer are $1.00 each! (It’s worth noting that there will be no “Late-Nite Comics” this month. The sale takes its place.) As stated above, the big news is that we will have a guest this year, Bronze Age Legend David Michelinie! David is the creator of Venom, Carnage, Taskmaster, Scott Lang’s Ant-Man, and a lot more! His runs on Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, and Iron Man are epic, and he’s written plenty of stories that would become key issues to get signed. We’ll just point you to his Wikipedia...
