Well, we’re finally on ‘the other side’. CNJComics is set to reopen as per the Governor’s orders on Tuesday, May 12th! We’ve got a lot of measure in place to keep both staff and customers safe, many of which we were already doing before we were shuttered on March 23rd. We’ve been closed up for seven weeks now, and while we’ve been doing well with Facebook Live Sales and your ongoing orders, there’s nothing like selling stuff to people face to face. (or mask to mask for awhile.) Here’s everything you need to know about our reopening protocals. To be clear, we will be compliant with all Mandatory standards for Govenor DeWine’s Responsible RestartOhio program, as well as some recommended Best Practices that his office has suggested. (These protocols have also been cleared with the staff, and they are comfortible with them, which is a really important thing to know.) In a nutshell, it’s all about distancing, sanitizing and face coverings. For distancing we have installed a barrier at check out, and we’ve learned the bigger the better. It’s so...

So we will be reopening (with alot of measures in place) on Tuesday May 12th! This week I will compose an email with all the details on how we will do that while keeping you and us safe! We’ve been working like crazy to meet up with the Governor’s expectations and then some. The first new comic book week will be on Wednesday May 20th and Marvel states they will resume shipping on Wednesday May 27th (Just a little product each week until July.) Again, more to come on that. Oh yeah, we’re also open for non contact curbside now too! This Monday will be our 6th Facebook Live Sale from 6 pm to 7:30 pm EST. May the 4th be with You! It’ll be more late Silver / early Bronze Marvels (mostly early Bronze) and yes there will be some Star Wars in it! We’ve pretty much got the system down. Look for a gallery of the books on our Facebook Page early tomorrow, then when we go live claim the book after it is presented with the price...

Well, the Governor will be laying out his plans for reopening small businesses on Monday, so we’ll wait until his announcement before we make anymore statements on our plans. Suffice it to say that we are working hard to get the shop ready to reopen safely. (There’s a 8 x 4 sheet of Plexiglas waiting to go up on the counter that Winston keeps getting stuck behind. But for now, here the info on the next Facebook Live Sale: Monday, 4-27-2020 – 6 PM – 8 PM Late Silver/Early Bronze Marvels 50% Off Thanks to everyone for making these things such a success for us! Last week went off without a hitch and we sold 98% off the books live! The new system of adding the price to the books seems to be working well but we still had a few people upset about losing claims. All we can say is that everyone is beginning from the same starting point, and everyone’s Wifi connection is different. We had one customer report he was 30 seconds behind the feed on laptop,...

It’s another week shuttered up with CNJComics! Let’s see, where to begin.  We actually got an article in the Wall Street Journal this past Monday about our efforts to keep the boys employeed while we’re closed up. The Wall Street Journal man! Both online and in print! America! WALL STREET JOURNAL LINK! We also sent out a bunch of deliveries. Ben’s been busy bringing your comics to you through non contact delivery. Please continue to email us with your comic book needs. Free delivery within the county for orders over $20 and we ship anywhere too. You can also call us at 216-252-0606, either Ben or Jim is there most of the time. If no one answers go with email at info@cnjcomics.com To be clear: No one enters the store, no curbside pickup. We hope restrictions will lighten up on May 1st but who knows? In general, we’re doing fine. Everyone is keeping busy. I even put a Lego Comic Shop set together in my spare time. We are doing another Facebook Live Sale on Monday April 13th from 6pm...
