Captain America: The Winter Soldier and New Releases for April 2nd

Captain America: The Winter Soldier and New Releases for April 2nd

Captain America The Winter Soldier comes out this week, so we decided to do an email featuring new releases that link to some of Marvel’s hottest movie properties! Being around a comic shop always keeps you one step ahead of the mass media game. You’re thinking Captain America? We’re thinking Amazing Spider-Man 2 on May 2nd! You’re thinking Spider-Man? We’re thinking X-Men Days of Future Past on May 23rd! You’re thinking X-Men? We’re on Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st! That was all just a clever way of letting you know how much exciting stuff is going on this summer. (And don’t let the snappy banter fool you, we’re totally thinking about Captain America right now.) Be sure to focus all that post movie excitement into a trip to your local comic book shop. We actually specialize in Captain America. 🙂 Here’s some featured items coming out this Wednesday, April 2nd! First up we’ve got an Original Hardcover Graphic Novel Featuring Spider-Man! Someone has Spider-Man in their crosshairs, and the only person in the Marvel Universe who can save...
