First up, we’re excited to annouce that even though there will be no San Diego Comicon this month, we will still have our “Not At Comicon” sale! From Thursday July 22nd to Sunday July 25th we’ll be giving 50% off all back issues, as well as 10% off everything else in the shop. We’ll also be filling up the foyer next to the shop with thousands of comics from our storage locker for only one dollar each. (50 cents each for 100 or more as always.) 50% off back issues will be a rare thing now that the pandemic is fading, so plan to take advantage when it happens! This Friday is (finally) the premiere of the Black Widow movie! I’ve got a free comic to give everyone who stops in starting that day, while supplies last, with a purchase.  Come check out our selection of Black Widow graphic novels too!

Along the way they meet new ordinary people who have adopted the mantle of Captain America.  First up, Aaron Fisher, the Captain America of the Railways! The Hellfire Gala concludes this week and Marvel promises a very important issue with X-Factor #10. KIDS For the kids we have a Young Readers John Constantine book? Ryan North is the...
