It’s finally here! Our Holiday Art Show / Sale begins this Wednesday December 16th! Way to go Cleveland artists! We’ve got well over 100 covers in the art show to benefit the Cleveland Food Bank! Stop by the shop between Dec 16th to the 20th and check the covers out in the foyer! Covers are won through a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket towards the cover of your choice! Just buy the tickets at the counter, write your name and contact number on them and drop them into the numbered bag that matches the cover you want! It’s that simple!  Because the Food Bank is so awesome, each dollar you spend will create four full meals for those in need! We will draw the winners in a Facebook Live Stream at 6pm on Sunday! You do not need to watch the stream to win, we’ll let you know on Monday. (But hey! pour yourself a drink and tune in! The whole staff will be here to pull the winners.) Due to popular demand (and a...

Just because we can’t have a Holiday Party doesn’t mean we can’t have an Art Show! Everyone year we reach out to Cleveland’s Art Community to help us put together an art show to help the Cleveland Food Bank, who have the amazing ability to turn one dollar into four full meals for those in need. (and the need is currently greater than ever.) Local artists turn blank comic covers into works of art that can be won through a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket towards the cover of your choice. In the past this has been a one day show where the winners are drawn at the end of the night at our yearly customer appreciation party.  Due to CoVid-19 this year the show will extend over five days and winners will be drawn on a Facebook Live stream to help offset the traffic in the shop at any one time.  This year’s theme is ‘The Pandemic’ and artists were tasked with creating covers combining the CoVid-19 life with their favorite comic book characters. ...

Before we start we’d like to remind you about our Pandemic Art Show for the benefit of the Cleveland Food Bank! The show will run from Wednesday December 16th to Sunday December 20th in the foyer attached to the shop. You can win all the artwork through a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket towards the cover(s) of your choice. We’ll have another email this week laying it all out but for now please mark your calendar!  On to this week’s new releases! DC Comics In December DC is completing it’s current incarnation to give way to less continuity in 2021 and beyond. It likely means I very different DCU after the new year, even beyond the Future Slate books coming out in January and February. To that avail, lots of heroes have their final moments in this weeks Dark Nights Death Metal Last Stories of the DC Universe One Shot. They’ll still be around, but they might never be the same again.  From Superman by Mark Waid to Green Arrow and Black Canary by Gail...

First off we’d like to thank everyone for all the support over Thanksgiving Weekend. We miss having our old Black Friday event but we still had a great weekend with your help.   Everyone did a great job of helping to keep our CoVid protocols intact, and we thank you for that. MARVEL This week the big book is The King in Black #1, the culmination of two years of Donny Cates writing Venom, and it involves the entire Marvel Universe. Five issue mini series with lots of covers to choose from. It’s fun to see Eddie Brock finally take his place among the Marvel Heroes, and you can see even Cap and Iron Man showing him respect here. Plus, Donny Cates! DC BOOKS DC’s big book is my pick of the week, Batman Catwoman #1. This book is everything the Tom King Batman run was and should have been. Crossing three timelines, past, present and future, this twelve issue mini series traces Selina and Bruce’s relationship across the years. Black Label book too, so anything goes. You’d be hard...

We like to live in the moment but it’s time to start planning for “Black Friday Week” from Tuesday November 24th to Sunday November 29th! In order to space out the in-store traffic we’ll be hosting a sale all week long! We’ll start by filling the foyer with over 75,000 comics at only $1.00 each (50 cents each for 100 or more).
