This is a huge week, but by far the biggest stand out is the epic Marvel Comics #1000! One huge $9.99 perfect bound book with an incredible list of creators! I had a chance to read this book last month and I’m a big fan. Every page is a quick vignette representing a different year in Marvel’s history, starting with the first panel of Marvel Comics #1. The core backstory was written by Al Ewing of Immortal Hulk. It’s not going to be for everyone but I really enjoyed the format and the history involved.  Here’s Marvel’s promo video, as this book made a big splash at D23 last week.  We have a lot of covers coming in so come in early on Wednesday to pick yours out! Here’s a gallery of covers as they’re all really fun to look at! Absolute Carnage continues with it’s second issue by Donny Cates. Such a great modern tribute to the 90’s. We have enough books to fill pre orders as well as some copies hitting the table! We also finally have pre-orders...

This has been a great end to the summer, with both Absolute Carnage and Jonathan Hickman’s X-Titles both being huge winners both in content and sales.  Carnage!! We sold out of Absolute Carnage last week, and we ordered A LOT. The book is also sold out nationally but I have 50 more first prints coming in at cover price this week! This was a $7.99 book and was worth every penny. It’s a classic Spider-Man – Venom – Carnage story that reads like a modernized 90’s story. Donny Cates man. Whew.  We can’t vouch for how any of the crossovers will be but we highly recommend having any that you are interested in held as demand will be high and orders were low, so many titles may not even hit the table as they are already sold out at the distributor level.  So, here’s the checklist again to print out, fill in and turn into the shop.  This week is Absolute Carnage Scream #1 and the Absolute Carnage Separation Anxiety One Shot, and we only have a few of each...

Howdy Comic Fans! The big boss is on vacation again (hasn’t he been everywhere there is to be yet?) So y’all get your favorite friendly neighborhood comic shop employee for this special edition, Carnage-ized, email! Carnage to the Max There are upwards of 200 comic titles that come out new every Wednesday, and this week bodes no difference. Except that the title we at Carol and Johns is most excited about is Absolute Carnage! Cover By Ryan Stegman Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman had been working on this crossover epic conceptually since before the 2018 Venom ongoing series launched. Most of us were first introduced to the hell that carnage was about to unleash on earth with this year’s Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man issue. The first issue of the Absolute Carnage five-issue mini-series drops in the shop this Wednesday but the threads of this story have been bolstered and woven for almost ten years. Cates is a master of connecting stories of his and other great writers from across multiple series and story arcs. There are 13 variant covers...
