Andrea’s Long Halloween of Picks for 09.25.2024

Hi Comic Shop Friends! We had a great week of sales and events last week, with Late Nite, the End of Summer Sale, and the free comics at the West Side Market! We’ve got a few more coming up in the next couple of months, so stay tuned for more info on those! This email is kind of brief because we had a lot to do on Tuesday, with over half of this week’s books coming in that morning, so I didn’t have time to do a deep dive on everything! Stop in on Wednesday to see what else is good! MARVEL COMICS It’s the finale of The Infinity Watch, from Derek Landy and Salvador Larroca! It’s the Avengers versus the Infinity Stone Bearers versus Thanos! Can the Stone Bearers manage to get along and work together long enough to defeat Thanos? It might be even harder with Thor and Captain Marvel trying to separate them before they become too powerful. And even harder when Thanos shows up to retrieve his lost love, the Death Stone! The Venom War rages...

Andrea’s Assemblage of Picks for 09.11.2024

Hey Comic Shop Friends! First, all the titles from last week’s late shipment and misprints are here! Unfortunately, it looks like there will be more delays on some books the next few weeks due to delays at the printers. That means they’re shipped later for us, so if you’re missing titles or variants in your file, they should be in the following week. We appreciate your patience with these issues, and we’ll keep you posted if there are any other major delays or issues. Now onto the fun stuff! Late Nite Comics! Thursday the 19th! 8pm to midnight! We’ll have new dollar stock in the 60+ boxes that are coming out! 50% off back issues! Yes, including the wall! Help us make room for even more new collections by clearing out the current back issues! On Saturday, September 21st, it’s the Last Day of Summer Sale! It’s half-off back issues all day! If you miss out on Late Nite, here’s your second chance to grab some great stuff! We’ll also be doing a raffle for some of the hardcovers John...

Andrea’s Exceptional Picks for 09.04.2024

First thing: One of our major shipments was delayed, so we will not have DC, Image, and some small press titles on the table Wednesday morning. It is scheduled to be delivered, so if books are missing from your file, just know they’re on the way and we will process that shipment and get those to you as soon as we can!  Welcome to September, Comic Shop Friends!

Andrea’s Monster Picks for 08.28.2024

Hello, hello Comic Shop Friends! First, thank you to all of you who bought dollar books this month! Thanks for buying thousands and thousands of dollar books! We were just under 3000, so John added a shop donation to bring our total to donate to the 988 Lifeline to $3041! (The 41 being Ed Piskor’s age.) Through their raffle, Ed Piskor’s Legacy were able to raise $1176, and another $325 was collected by Pop Up Collectables, to bring their grand donation total to $4524! John and I were at the inaugural Eddie P Comic Con this past Saturday. Here we are with the Piskor siblings, Bri, Justine, and Bobby. The big news is that Ed Piskor’s last finished work, Switchblade Shorties, will be released! We didn’t get details yet, but this is the flyer. I’ll have one in the shop if you want to scan the QR code. Bobby Piskor caught me in one of his photos of the Con! I bought so many comics! And other great stuff, but spending money doesn’t count when it’s at a small local...

Andrea’s Picks for 08.21.2024

Hi there Comic Shop Friends! This week is pretty quiet, so here are a couple of reminders, and then on to some new books! There are still a few more days to donate to the 988 Lifeline. All our dollar book sales will be donated, and it looks like we’re on track to make that total well over $2000! Thank you to all of you who have picked up dollar books this month. I’ll be heading to Pittsburgh this Saturday to drop off our donation at Eddie P Comic Con. Ed Piskor’s family, @ed_piskors_legacy and @eddipcomicon on Instagram, have organized a local con in honor of Piskor, and are raising money for the 988 Lifeline during the event. We’re putting together a raffle basket to donate to their raffle, in addition to the dollar book funds we’ve raised. I’ll be there all day, and John may be stopping by later. Cartoonist Kayfabe-ers Jim Rugg and Tom Scioli will be in attendance, along with a bunch of indie creators and vendors! It looks like it’ll be a fun time, so if...
