We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day so our staff can enjoy the holidays with their families. We will reopen on Friday for a weekend long sale, and our longest running shop event, our Anti Black Friday Sale!   On Friday November 24th from 7pm to midnight we’ll be having our annual (anti) Black Friday Sale. There will also be and ongoing sale throughout the weekend, but nothing as massive as 7pm to midnight.  For this sale we open up our back room and the foyer with over 70,000 comic books at $1.00 each. (Buy 100 or more and the price drops to .50 cents each) This year we will have the books in some semblance of an order to make your shopping easier, with books divided into Marvel, DC, Small Press and DC New 52.

t’s been awhile since we’ve done an early release event, but if one book ever justified it, it’s Doomsday Clock #1, featuring the first real merger of the DC and Watchman Universes! DOOMSDAY CLOCK EARLY RELEASE DC is allowing us to sell Doomsday Clock #1 (As well as all new DC releases) at 11:57pm on Tuesday (11-21-2017) night, to coincide with the time on the Doomsday Clock. We’ll be selling four different covers including one exclusive to the early release.  The Lenticular cover is my favorite, featuring DC’s Trinity blended into Rorschach’s mask. The standard edition hints at the fact that the Rorschach journal really did get out.  We also have a great Gary Frank variant, featuring key players Superman and Doctor Manhattan.   The 11:57 variant will only be available at the early release event and featured a black and white version of the Gary Frank variant cover.  The first 25 people in line will also receive a FREE early release lithograph that looks like the 11:57 variant. We will also have these cool Doomsday Clock pins, that we can give free with every copy you buy of the book.  Considering how iconic...

Halloween Comicsfest features FREE comics FREE candy and FREE photography services! HALLOWEEN COMICFEST The day is essentially a miniature Free Comic Book Day, with many publishers creating special books exclusive to the day to be given away for free!

This year there are 18 full size comics and 12 mini comics, and people stopping by in costume are welcome to take one of every book they are interested in! (So yes, you may take all 30 books if you are so inclined.) We also allow customers not in costume to pick out five books for themselves. What constitutes a costume?
