New Releases for 3-10-2021 at CNJComics

First up we’d like to thank everyone for a very successful Winston World. We did great, and we hope everyone got some really great deals on stuff. Expect an entirely new back issue wall this week as we go back to our standard 25% discount! Also look around the shop for a few new sections, like our “Try Something New and Independent” display, where we showcase indie books that are great entry level reads the staff personally loves. This includes both #1 issues and graphic novels. Also we’ve made a display of the top 60 DC graphic novels, which we also put together ourselves. Let us know if you think something is missing that should be there! (but keep in mind quite a few books that would have made our cut are out of print.) We are also slowly expanding our Manga selection by popular demand. (It’s a slow roll as books are really hard to find.) Anyway, let’s get on to this week’s featured new releases! MARVEL COMICS Amazing Spider-Man #61 and #62 feature a brand new costume, designed...

Winston World this weekend at CNJComics

Winston World this weekend at CNJComics

While not a huge new comic week, this has to be the most interesting selection in 2021 so far! But first let’s talk about Winston World! Winston World has always been our three day sale to coincide with Wizard World downtown. We even ripped of their art style to hijack their social media presence. Well just because the circus isn’t coming to town doesn’t mean we can’t have a sale.  From Friday March 5th to Sunday March 7th we’ll have: 50% off ALL Back Issues! 10% off EVERYTHING else in the shop! (we do mean everything.) We’re not allowed to use the foyer during tax season but we’ll fill our counter space with as many $1.00 boxes as possible, 50 cents each for $1.00 or more. We’ll also keep refilling those dollar boxes all weekend!  Oh yeah! Winston ironically even made it into Cleveland.com this week too!  So on to that really interesting new comic book week! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021! MARVEL COMICS The big book this week is super hot cover...

Marvel Comics Marvel made another “Voices” one shot for Black History Month, with stories featuring Black Panther, Storm, Blade, Falcon, Ironheart, Luke Cage and Spectrum! Here’s a cool video I dug up about the project: We’ve got some cool indie books this week, like Stray Dogs #1, a very Disney Animation adn Don Bluth inspired project.  I wasn’t sure how to order this book, billed as Lady and the Tramp meets Silence of the Lambs, but it looks really cool.  Here’s another video! With Walking Dead over and Saga on hold, Crossover by Donny Cates is our best selling indie title! It’s the comic book about collecting comic books! Super fun if you’re not already reading it, we’ve got issues #1-3 in stock as well.  Looking for a new graphic novel?

Immortal Hulk has another one shot attached to it, this one drawn and written by Declan Shalvey!

It’s a really big new comic week at the shop! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, February 2nd, 2021! Star Wars High Republic is the new multimedia launch from Lucasfilm, set in the glory days of the Old Republic, when the Jedi flourished. First and second prints of the new #1 sold out instantly nation wide, and the second issue look to do the same this week. We will have copies of the first issue of Star Wars High Republic Adventures coming out this week, with stories skewering towards an all ages audience.  Amazing Spider-Man #55 had a great cover by Patrick Gleason, and second prints of that are out this week if you missed it.  In additon to being a fun free for all over the right to wield the Phoenix Force, Avengers #42 has one of the last Alex Ross Timeless variants, and it’s a doozy.  We love Hawkeye in our shop, so I ordered up a bunch to make sure everyone was covered. (We even have a 1:200 sketch cover hiting the table) The...
