Andrea’s Picks for 08.06.2025

Andrea’s Picks for 08.06.2025

Hey Comic Shop Friends! Welcome to August! A couple of housekeeping notes before we get into this week’s comics: First, we do have Marvel and DC previews in now, along with Dynamite. We’ve been asking you to take a look at your pull lists to clean them up, so we will gladly get you a printout to look over. We’re trying to tighten up our orders since publishers are moving to other distributors after Diamond’s bankruptcy, so please take a copy of the free previews the companies send us, and let us know as soon as possible what new titles you’d like to add. We’re always happy to make file changes for you and take your requests off our Tuesday night video, but when asking for titles (especially small press) the week of, we may not have enough or may not be able to reorder them. Help us get you the books you want by letting us know what you’d like in advance! If you’d like to add Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, or Dynamite previews to your pull list to...

Andrea’s Freezing Picks for 04.09.2025

Hi there Comic Shop Friends! The new Free Comic Book Day 2025 prints are in, and they are FREE with any purchase. This year’s poster is an homage to Superman #233 and the artwork of Neal Adams! We dropped Superman in the iconic Cleveland Arcade as our way of paying tribute to the new movie and Cleveland’s role in it. We can’t wait to see our city shine onscreen this summer! We’ve got a lot to give away so stop by the shop and pick one up. Designed by Jameson Campbell, Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Creative Manager. Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3rd, 10am to 7pm! John sent out his email with all the details (also on our website) so check that out. We’ll be using the same storefront as last year for the FCBD room, which is where you can pick out twelve free comics and shop from all the awesome local artists and vendors! It’s one of two days, Genghis Con being the other, where I don’t stick to a budget and buy whatever I like!...

Events for September and October at CNJComics

Hey everyone, John here to go over some of the cool things we have going on over the next couple months! It’s enough that I dusted off my laptop to write this email! We’ve gotten in so many collections over the summer that September’s theme is going to be a “Summer’s End Purge.” Let’s begin with this month’s Late Nite Comics! On Thursday, September 19th from 8 pm to midnight, we’re hoping to have 30+ new long boxes of dollar stock, so close to a full new comic book table of books. WHO KNOWS WHAT’S IN THERE! We need to make room, so you’ll be digging through some unprocessed stuff. We’ll also have the usual 50% off back issues, and that will include the wall and everything on it. It’s also the day after my birthday, so come on up and have a drink. (I know I will.) Late Night Comics has been one of the best things we’ve come up with over the last few years. Over two years and still going strong. We add new back issues pretty...

Andrea’s Amazing Recs for 8.31.2022

Hello, Comic Shop Friends! It’s the fifth week of August, so that means Annuals and one-shots! Lots of entertaining reads this week, so let’s get into it! MARVEL HEADER The comic that brought you Spider-Man hits #1000! Marvel brings together an all-star roster of creators to celebrate the 60th birthday of Peter Parker and Spider-Man, including Mike Pasciullo, Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Hickman, Kurt Busiek, Terry Dodson, Michael Cho, and Jim Cheung. There are nine great stories in this anthology; fun, touching, and something for any Spidey fan. Jumping forward in time Ant-Man #2 continues the journey through Ant-Man’s history with some Eric O’Grady grave robbing. Hank Pym is a secret Skrull and Scott Lang is dead, and the Irredeemable Ant-Man needs to steal Lang’s helmet. “Cliffhanger sequence initiated.” From Jim Zub and Sean Izaakse, Thunderbolts #1 follows the aftermath of Devil’s Reign, and now that Luke Cage is mayor, he’s looking to redeem the Thunderbolts name with a new team. Hawkeye, Spectrum, America Chavez, Power Man, Persuasion, and Gutsen Glory team up to turn things around in New York City....

Raf’s Hot Summer Day Comics for 6.15.2022

Good morning, Carol and John’s Shoppers! Summer is in full swing and it’s gonna be a HOT one today. What better way to cool down than to stop by, enjoy our air conditioning, and check out the great new comics we have this week. There are a lot of options this week, especially for anybody looking to check out some new small press, so let’s see what’s good. Small Press We at the shop have been waiting for this one for a few months now since it was first announced; new from shop favorite Daniel Warren Johnson, it’s Do A Powerbomb! Perfect for fans of pro-wrestling, and even for non-fans alike, Powerbomb is The Wrestler meets Dragon Ball Z. The story follows Lona in her efforts to fill in the boots of her mother, Yua Steelrose, who many regard as the best there ever was. But Lona will get wrapped up in a mysterious wrestling tournament, hosted by a necromancer, and will have to prove her mettle against the most dangerous wrestlers she could possibly imagine. You may recognize Daniel...

I hope you’re all enjoying Rafael’s emails, it’s something he’s wanted to do for some time now and I feel he’s doing a great job.

Marvel graciously produced four comics especially for Halloween and we’ll have more than enough of each. (I always over order so I can take the rest home to hand out...
