Andrea’s Thanksgiving Parade of Picks for 11.27.24

Happy Thanksgiving Comic Shop Friends! First, a reminder that we will be closed on Thursday for the holiday. Second, there are some delays for some small press titles as Diamond is in the process of consolidating warehouses, but those books should be in your files next week. We received DC and Image books late this week, so I didn’t get to read those for the email, but they will be in your files for tomorrow! Thanks for your patience with the shipping delays in recent months. Third, we have new stickers! They’re $2 each, and we have one with our short box logo and one to show your support for your local comic shop! Fourth, thanks to our regular customer Sam, of Sonny Boy Comics, for showing off the shop in his new video about Late Nite Comics and his purchase of an Invincible collection from John Shearer! (Who he calls an “absolute legend.”) Here’s the YouTube video: Running Friday through Sunday, it’s our Black Friday Weekend Sale! We’re filling the foyer with dollar stock that will be 50 cents...
