Year end wrap up and thank you at CNJ COMICS
As the end of the year is here, we’d just like to thank everyone who made our Christmas party and holiday season a success! The results of our food drive are in! Working hand in hand with POP! The Comic Culture Club ( check them out here!http://popcomicclub.com/ ) we were able to raise $915.75 and collect over 1,200 food item! The Cleveland Food Bank is one of the most amazing charities in the city and what they can do with a one dollar donation is truly remarkable. Thanks to your help over 4000 meals will be created in addition to the food items collected! Learn more about the Food Bank here:http://www.clevelandfoodbank.org/ The main focus of our food drive was a holiday Superhero Art Show at our yearly Christmas Party! Cleveland artists were asked to contribute custom covers of their favorite comic books with a holiday theme. All artwork was raffled off at the end of the event. The artists who contributed literally turned their talent into food for the needy in Cleveland, and we tip our hats to them. Here’s a...
Chritmas Eve New Comic Book Day and Back Issue Stimulus
Hey everyone! Just a heads up that New Comic Book Day is now on Tuesday, December 24th this week! We will be open all day on Tuesday, from noon until 8pm, for all your last minute Christmas Shopping needs (last minute gist certificates) and to make sure you can grab these great books! Every year comic book shops nationally experience what is called a ‘skip week’, a week in which no new comic books come out. Last year Marvel Comics fixed that and decided to produce one great comic book, Amazing Spider Man #700, to release that week. This year Marvel, DC and other small press companies have followed suit by released one or two books they are really proud of. I have read all the books below and I can proudly state that this is a great week for new comics! First Up, AVENGERS #24.NOW! Avengers #24.NOW is the new starting point for readers and the beginning of an all new storyline. the book hits it’s mark and have quite a few really nice interactions between members. (Thor grills...

It’s that time of year again as we begin to collect food for our yearly food drive and prepare for our awesome Christmas Customer Appreciation Party! Every year we do a food drive hand in hand with Pop The Comic Culture Club. Pop is a comic book club in North East Ohio that while not affiliated with the shop, shares many of the same principles of community action along with a love of pop culture. Check them out here to see what they’re all about: http://popcomicclub.com/ From December 2nd till December 21st we’ll be collecting food items at the shop. With the support of Pop we’re able to offer a free comic book from the dollar bins for each item brought in! The limit to this is three comic books a day!

Get yourself ready for Black Friday (UPDATE)
Our biggest sale of the year is almost here! This will be our 18th Annual Black Friday Sale! While most shops hit you up for “door buster” sales (we hate that word) CNJ Comics likes the more mellow approach of having our big sale from 7pm till midnight! Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable, cool atmosphere to shop in, not some kind of consumer battle. We also like to provide a late night environment for all our customers who have to work the day away. Come chill out with us for a few hours after work and have some fun. On Friday November 29th From 7pm to midnight we have easily our biggest sale of the year. The key of this sale is that we open up out back room and bring out over 60,000 comic books IN ORDER for only $1.00 each! (Read that again if you have too. That’s why we’re giving you time to get your lists together!) Also that night: 50% off all Back Issues! 20% off the New Comic Wall! 20% off Statues, Actions Figures and T-shirts! Discount Graphic...
