Immortal Hulk at CNJComics

This week we’re deviating from the norm to give a shout out to a book we really love. The Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing recently got a pretty big honor, it outsold Batman for the month of April! Since this stat is not true in our shop, and we love the book so much, and we finally got new printings of the first two graphic novels, AND the third graphic novel came out this week, we thought we’ve urge everyone to hop on board and give the book a try. The book is redefining the mainstream horror genre, and well as flesh out the Hulk sometimes convoluted history. Here is the best pitch I can give, straight from Marvel. If these 16 things don’t sell it to you, then it’s not for you. Each graphic novel covers five issues and retails for only $15.99 each! We got really big stacks of all three so it will be there when you stop in. We’re also going to give a big shout of to War of the Realms, which has been very...

Free Comic Book Day 2019 *UPDATES*

With three weeks to go, it’s time to share information on this year’s 18th annual Free Comic Book Day! Every year we choose a theme to help give the event a little bit of structure, and by popular opinion, this year’s theme is The Uncanny X-Men! So many people, myself included, were affected by Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s run on Uncanny X-Men, teaching us the strength in being different as we grew up.  (Let’s not forget Cockrum too, who, looking back at it now, was every bit the master Byrne was, if not more so.) Their combined body of work is the foundation for everything that came after, and that’s what we’re here to celebrate. Everything. Our FCBD event is not just a celebration of the culture, it’s a celebration of our City. We embrace our local communities, from artists to cosplay to comic book collectors and readers. This event could not exist anywhere else because it is so very Cleveland. We also try to create an event that brings generations of fans together, with something for both new and...
