Hi Comic Shop Friends! We had some technical issues out of our control last week, causing that newsletter to not go out, so apologies to everyone. We’re getting closer and closer to Free Comic Book Day! Saturday May 3rd! 10am to 7pm! More details can be found on our website and Facebook pages. It’s always a great day, so come on out! MARVEL COMICS As the Avengers seek to undermine Doom’s ascent to power, they have to utilize an unexpected source of help, a coalition of super villains! Doctor Octopus, Arcade, Mysterio, the Goblin Queen, Baron Mordo, and M.O.D.O.K. all want to take down Doom once and for all, and if they have to work with the Avengers to do it, so be it. With a dual physical and magical attack, they learn the truth behind how Doctor Doom took over the world. With Doom one, or many, steps ahead of those against him, the super hero and villain team-up won’t achieve their intended outcome… especially with someone else watching Earth, who also wants Doom out of power.  Bloodier than...

Happy April, Comic Shop Friends! We were going to do an April Fool’s Day joke and tell you there were no new comics this week after last Wednesday’s massive day, but you wouldn’t have believed us. And there are some excellent books you need to pick up this week! First, thank you to everyone who came out this past Sunday for the Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss signing! We had an incredibly successful event, and were busy for the entire two hours. They mentioned how awesome our customers were so thank you for making us look good in front of the talent! Get ready for the Summer of Superman with Superman Day on Wednesday, April 9th. We’ll have three free books to give out, Jimmy Olsen’s Supercyclopedia, Superman for All Seasons #1, and All-Star Superman #1. There are a few exclusives releasing that day as well, like the Golden Age sized facsimile of Action Comics #1! Mark your calendars for April’s Late Nite Comics happening on Thursday the 17th from 8pm to midnight! And for Free Comic Book Day on...

Hello Comic Shop Friends! Welcome to the biggest new comic book week the shop has seen in, at least, over fifteen years! It’s a doozy, and there are so many excellent books out this week! I’ll try to get as many as I can in this newsletter, but this is the week to come in the shop and peruse the new comic table! This Sunday, the 30th! From 4pm to 6pm! Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss will be here for a free signing! We’ll have copies of each of their new #1s, We’re Taking Everyone Down with Us and You’ll Do Bad Things, to give out so you can get them signed. Check out the display on the counter and the Rosenberg and Boss Rec Wall row for more great stories from them! Because this week is so huge and one of our shipments came Tuesday morning, I didn’t get to read everything like I usually do, so there are some synopses for the books below. MARVEL COMICS There’s one new Doom mini-series starting, written by Yoon Ha Lee with...
