First off we’d like to thank everyone for a very successful week of peeling back the CoVid restrictions. Everyone was super cool about it, some people wore masks, some didn’t, and everyone was respectful of each other. It felt good to be able to see everyone! Hopefully by the end of the month we’ll have the kids table back up, which is a huge thing to me.  On to the books! DC COMICS First up is DC’s Pride One Shot, nine new stories featuring LGBTQIA from the DCU.  $9.99 book with the first appearance of Dreamer from the Supergirl show.  We finally have copies of Batman Fornite #1 (3rd print) and Batman Fornite #4 (2nd print) hitting the table! Lots of them actually! Both books are $4.99 each and have the corresponding download codes in them! Geoff John’s and Gary Frank have gotten back together for another Batman Earth One Original Hardcover! These books are always a hit and Johns was the writer of Three Jokers. (so yeah it’s awesome.)

First up, be advised that as of June 2nd the decision to wear a mask in the shop is your own! Health measures in Ohio are now down and it’s up to you to decide what’s best for you. We will support you decision either way! To celebrate we will completely rerack the back issue wall with new books! Check out our Facebook video to see what’s up there.

MARVEL COMICS This week is the debut of the Hellfire Gala in Marauders #21, a twelve part storyline in all the “X” titles in the month of June! It actually looks like alot of fun, with all the stuff you’d expect at a big party, outfits, party crashers and big announcements. (like the reveal of the new X-Men team and supposedly a major death in the final act.) You can also get two more parts this weeks, Hellions #12 and X-Force #20! For you Star Wars fans the first issue of War of the Bounty Hunters is out!...

Just a quick one again this week!  Starting off we’d like to remind everyone that we still have our CoVid measures in place until June 2nd. The CDC guidelines are only causing confusion and are really impossible to enforce without checking papers at the door. (which we are not doing.) We’re going with the law of the land in Ohio just as we have been all along. Rest assured that we will be lifting all health measures on Wednesday June 2nd as permitted by the Governor of Ohio. We’ve come really far and we’re in the home stretch so please help us out for two more weeks. Anyone who wishes to keep wearing masks after that will not be disrespected in our shop, do what you need to do to feel safe. Even with the social distancing measures lifted let’s all give each other a little extra space this summer until we come down a bit from what happened. As always, be cool. If there’s anything we can do to make the transition more comfortable, please let us know. We...
