Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019. We’ve decided to feature some Spider-Man books this week, starting with the main title, Amazing Spider-Man #32.  Miguel O’Hara is back, and that means Spider-Man 2099 is as well. (You may remember him from the awesome end credits scene in “Into the Spider-Verse.”) Also, this week is a very special giant-sized one-shot, Spider-Man Full Circle. A huge $9.99 issue that’s full of impressive creators passing the ‘torch’ of the story to each other. As per Marvel:  “Essentially, Jonathan Hickman and artist Chris Bachalo are going to drop Spider-Man into the middle of the action. Gerry Duggan and Greg Smallwood will pick up from the cliffhanger and go from there. Then, Nick Spencer and Michael Allred will try to top it, followed by Kelly Thomspon & Valerio Schiti, Al Ewing & Chris Sprouse, Chip Zdarsky & Rachael Stott, and Jason Aaron & Cameron Stewart with Mark Bagley.” It’s also guest-starring Wolverine, Nick Fury, and Spider-Ham! Mary Jane gets her own title this week, with an Artgerm Variant cover. The...

Halloween ComicFest 2019 is right around the corner, but we’ve got a couple more Wednesdays to get through first! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, October 16th, 2019! Marvel Books It’s a big week again, with the lead book being Jonathan Hickman’s new X-Men #1, the first book spinning out of the House and Powers of X books. Cyclops’ lead team is just that, a group of mutant powerhouses. Whatever happens from here revolves around this book. Thanks to everyone who came out for our book club btw, it went great! We will be doing this again quarterly, so look for it again in January. You can check out the whole live-stream on our Facebook Page! Marvel’s going 90’s (again) and we’ll be giving out ‘Cards of X’ sets with your purchase of the book. Each set has seven cards and we have enough to give a set away with every copy of the book. Buy three copies, get three card sets. What else is going on at Marvel? Oh yeah, ABSOLUTE CARNAGE! The issue before the...

It’s a spectacular week of new releases, with DC finally shining with some titles to tie into the release of the Joker this past weekend.  Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, October 9th, 2019. Out first book is a Joker Year of the Villain one-shot written by legendary director John Carpenter! (The Thing, Halloween, Escape From New York) This is likely our number one stand-alone pick for people looking for a quick Joker story.  If you’re in it for the long haul, Joker and Harley Criminal Insanity is a new nine-issue Black Label mini-series. “Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia, JOKER/HARLEY: CRIMINAL SANITY introduces readers to a Joker and Harley Quinn unlike any they’ve seen before, utilizing forensic psychiatry, behavior analysis (profiling) and psychological profiles to create a true-to-life take on these iconic characters that is more terrifying than any psychotic fantasy.” Fun. The dream team of Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch also kick off a twelve-issue Batman maxi-series with Batman’s Grave #1. Batman tries to inhabit the mind of a corpse to...

There’s lots of great stories going on right now, and the top three are all represented in this weeks’ picks! We also have some info for you on this Saturday’s ‘Batman Day’ which basically features some FREE comics and discounts on Batman books and merchandise.  Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, September 18th, 2019! (My birthday!) ABSOLUTE CARNAGE Absolute Carnage is the 90’s story you always wanted but crafted with a modern feel. It really shows how far comics have come when you hold this series up against the original “Maximum Carnage”, which we sold a lot of back in the day! In addition to a new issue of the core series, we also have a new issue of Lethal Protectors, and reprints of Scream #1 and the Separation Anxiety One Shot coming in.  Don’t get overwhelmed by crossovers if you don’t want to, the core five issue mini series is enough. (It’s fun to look around to though.) HOUSE OF X There’s not much of a team left after House of X #4, but issue #5...
