More Discount Graphic Novels at CNJComics 1-17-2018

Well we did really great with our curated discount graphic novel selection last week, so we decided to add a few more books to the list. Thanks to all for supporting this idea, we’ll be doing it more often.  We still have copies of Punisher Girls in White Dresses for $3.00, Ultimate Comics New Ultimate Thor Reborn for $1.00, and both Vertigo Samplers for $2.00 each. All the rest have sold out!  We’ve got four new titles to add this week. Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Volume Four Regular Price: $19.99 for only $4.00! Runaways Dead End Kids I’ve been enjoying the Hulu television series, so it seemed appropriate to include a graphic novel here. The series was originally written by Brian K Vaughan (of Saga fame) and when he signed off, Joss Whedon took over and sent the kids to New York City. This was part of a deal where Brian took over the Buffy comics for a bit while Joss took over for him here.  Regular Price: $15.99 for only $3.00! Mystique by Brian K Vaughan Speaking of...

Thank you for choosing to shop here, thank you for telling friends about us, thank you for showing up and supporting our events. Sometimes the rallying call to “Shop Local” can be hollow, but we’re trying to show the actual value to that decision, to show how it can affect your community and your place in it. We have a lot of fun in this shop. Whether we’re brewing beer, working with local artists, buying comic collections, curating your weekly new comic selections. We all really (really) love comic books and what we get to do here.  I personally will always love a good story, in any form. I feel we’re creating new stories here along the way that involve family, friends and again, community. The amount of friendships I see popping up from interactions at the shop reminds me of...
