To compliment this industry wide crossover all DC titles for the month of September will be change to villain solo stories with 3D covers! There has been quite about of controversy about these covers, as demand turned out to be way above the print run and many shops were allocated and will receive only a small percentage of what they ordered. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47175 Let’s just forget about all that nonsense and tell you that this Wednesday at noon we will have all 13 TITLES WITH 3D COVERS AVAILABLE AT COVER PRICE! That’s right, you can just walk into the shop and pick up anyone of the following titles for only $3.99: Action Comics #23.1 CYBORG SUPERMAN Batman #23.1 JOKER...

We’ve got a big new comic week coming up Wednesday. The biggest yet this summer! (We know, we say that every week, but it’s also true) But first let’s hear about Ben’s first store event! Our own Ben teamed up with the Gamestop in our plaza to get their pre-orders up on the new Deadpool video game.

We’re here to give you a place to hang out and have fun before they open at midnight to sell you your game!   So this Monday (6-24-2013) from 10pm to midnight we’ll have a two hour Deadpool Video Games event at the shop!

Well, Captain America Day was a huge success. Beyond our wildest thoughts. We gave out 300 comic books, 175 graphic novels and put over 750 people through the shop. We also gave out 500 buttons from Marvel Studios that had the Cap Shield and “made in Cleveland” on them, truly a great piece of memorabilia from the filming. For the record, the film crew from top to bottom treated our shop and efforts with respect, and we thank them for that. We even got to meet Chris Evans ever so briefly. Here’s the media links to the event.
