This is it! By orders of the Governor of the State of Ohio we’ll be closing up for two weeks at midnight on Monday.  Zoe tells me everything will be okay! So Monday, March 23rd will be your last chance to shop in the store for two weeks. We’ll be open from noon until 8pm.  Please stop by to clear out your file if you can. Back issues are also 50% off (and will be for the forseable future!) We will be looking at our curbside, delievery and shipping posibilities, but for now we just wanted everyone to know that we were expecting this, we’re ready for it, and to get in the shop if you can to help us out before we shutter.  Remember the advice of Skottie Young: Look for a follow up email on Tuesday and think about how you’d like your new comics handled during this time period.  We are easy to reach by emailing us at info@cnjcomics.com or a phone call to 216-252-0606! Peace everyone. Let’s all hunker down and get ready for what’s to come. 

Here’s the latest updates on how we’re handling this week in relation to new comics and the coronavirus. Yes, we are open, and will be open for new comic day on Wednesday with a full shipment of comics. Please give yourself a pump of hand sanitizer as you enter the shop, we have it by the door. Also give yourself a pump at checkout, we have some there too. We will limit any excessive crowds we have in the shop, if it comes to that. (It likely won’t.) We will also do curbside pick up if you do not feel like entering the shop. Call us from the parking lot (216-252-0606), pull up to curb, we’ll charge your credit card and bring out your books.) We do considering reading material to be an important part of the social distancing process, and we are trying to help ‘flatten the curve’ by minimizing exposure. If you are sick, stay home, we also have delivery and shipping options, just contact us at info@cnjcomics.com . Rest assured that the shop is sanitized regularly throughout...

Hey everyone, a quick word about CNJComics and the current social climate. CNJComics will remain open and will continue to do the cleaning we have always done. In fact we’ll even ramp it up quite a bit by wiping down all major surfaces several times a day, and a deep cleaning once a week. We also have liquid hand sanitizer both at the front door and at the register.  If our staff members feel sick, they will be advised to stay at home. Heck, if you feel sick, we advise you to stay at home too. If anyone is feeling ill or is over the age of 60 (or just plain feeling scared to leave the house in general) you can call in a credit card and we’ll get your books hand delivered to your house within a couple days. (within the boundaries of Cuyahoga County.) If you’re outside the County, we’re willing to mail you your books for orders of $100 or more. We know that a lot of you have kids that are now at home for the...

Winston World is underway, and that means 50% off back issues and 10% off everything else in the shop from now until Sunday, March 8th. We’ll be set up at Wizard World this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so stop by and see us at booth 330. This also means that the Silver Age comics will be taken down to the con on Thursday, so be sure to stop in the shop before then if you want to check them out at 50% off. New Comic Releases We’ve got some good new releases this week, starting with Flash #750! This is another oversized anniversary issue with lots of decades covers at $7.99. Lots of stories by writers like Francis Manapul, Geoff Johns, Michael Moreci, Mary Wolfman and Joshua Williamson. Here’s a sweet 60’s variant by Nick Derington. (the above is the 2000’s variant by Jim Lee!) We’re incredibly stoked for Strange Adventures #1 this week, featuring Adam Strange (who’s a top ten character for me) by the same creative team as Mister Miracle, writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads. In...

It’s that time of year again! Winston World is our annual sale timed to coincide with that other thing that’s going on downtown. Winston World is incredibly simple. From Saturday February 29 to Sunday March 8th you will get: 50% off all back issues 10% off everything else in the shop. (Yes everything.) We will be setting up at Wizard World this year, so we decided to start the sale a week early so that you can dig through the Silver Age comics for 50% off before we move them to the show on Thurday March 5th. We want you to get first crack at them, so please be sure to come in before the 5th if that’s what you’re into! If you want to see us at that “other thing’ we’ll be at booth number 330. Stop by and say hi, we’ll likely need the moral support. We’re actually launching the Wizard World in the tackiest way possible. On Friday February 28th we’ll be going Live on our Facebook site to open up some blind box cat hats, to...

Just a quick email this week as I’m on the road at the ComicsPro meeting in Portland Oregon! First up, Wolverine is back in his own ongoing series! With the Mutant Island established what does Wolverine do when he’s….happy? Art by Adam Kubert and featuring the return of Omega Red. This week we had some speculator issues.  We’re happy to say that everyone who has it on their file will get a copy of Batman #89, and at cover price too. It’s going for $30-$40 dollars online and features the first appearance of Punchline, the Joker’s new sidekick. (So essentially the new Harley.) We have no copies hitting the table as they have been scooped up with preorders. Second prints are on the way. To be clear, we will never charge you more for a (non ratio) new comic. This is also a good time to put in a commercial for starting a file. All you need to do is have five books held every month and pick them up once a month and you get 10% off ALL your...
