Upcoming Events at CNJComics

This week we’ve decided to give you a run down on the upcoming events that we’ll be involved in over the next few months! Book Club! February starts off with our Doomsday Clock / Watchmen TV Series Book Club this Thursday from 8 pm to 9:30 pm! Hosted by Valentino Luca Zullo and our own Rafael Calzada, we’ll be covering the Watchmen sequels both in print and on tv. (We may even talk about how Alan Moore feels about it all.) If you’d like a really great recap of the shows after you’ve watched them, ScreenCrush’s videos really helped me see alot of stuff I never knew was there. Valentine’s Day Friday, February 14th is obviously Valentine’s Day, and no matter where you are relationship wise, you can always stop in the shop and get a little love from us. Every year we let customers pull a Valentine from our box with your purchase, and each one gives you discounts, free stuff, you know, LOVE. Stop by the shop on the day and see what you get.

New Action Figure Collection at CNJComics

New Action Figure Collection at CNJComics

It was another small new comic week at the shop, but we’ve still got some fun stuff going on. (Next week will be a full week again, we promise!)   Last week we mentioned that we put out a bunch of Marvel and DC long boxes for $1.00, all from the past couple of years. This week we added nine boxes of small press stuff as well! You can pick up runs on some really great titles on the cheap, like… We bought a big collection of out of print Marvel Selects and old school Marvel Legends. They’re all priced and out for sale. Zoe actually came in and helped with the purchase! We also liquidated our pub glasses, shot glasses, bottle openers and playing card decks. All pub glasses are $3 each and everything else is only $1. This frees our glass cases up to hold more Marvel and DC PVC Gallery Statues. Which in turn frees up our shelves to hold more key back issues. Ever forward. Just another quick reminder that we’ll be hosting another book club...

Doomsday Clock / Watchmen TV Show Book Club at CNJComics

Doomsday Clock / Watchmen TV Show Book Club at CNJComics

It’s a small new comic week so we thought we’d give you the heads up on our next book club on Thursday, February 6th at 8 pm. After much success with our House / Powers of X book club last year, we have decided to make these things quarterly. While looking for subjects we decided upon some of the current Watchman sequels, and we’ll be examining both Doomsday Clock and Watchman the TV series. The Book club will be run by Valentino Luca Zullo, as well as one of our newest employees Raphael. I’ll be floating around in the background with color commentary from time to time. The first six issues of Doomsday Clock have been collected into a hardcover volume that we have at the shop. Issues #7 – #12 you’ll have to pick up individually, also at the shop. Log into HBO to watch the tv series, it’ll be well worth your time. The book club will last till about 9:30pm and we look forward to seeing you there! We’ve been going through the books we acquired from...

Featured New Releases for 1-1-2020 at CNJComics

Welcome to 2020! New Releases – Marvel Here’s the featured new releases for Wednesday, January 1st, 2020! (yes, we are open on January 1st for new comic book day.) Marvel starts out the year with two big books, Star Wars #1 and Thor #1! Up until now, the modern Marvel Star Wars comics have all been post ‘A New Hope.’ Starting with this new number one, Charles Soule takes us into the world after Empire Strikes Back! We have a lithograph to go with each purchase of the book. We also have a special New Year’s treat. We recently had an opportunity to buy up liquidated copies of one of the staff’s favorite Star Wars stories, Vader Down! Jason Aaron And Kieron Gillen pit Vader on his own against the entire rebel fleet. This book really showed what a bad-ass Vader was. This book regularly sells for $19.99 but we’ll be selling them for only $4.00! That’s a full graphic novel for less than the cost of a comic book. (Start your year off with a great story!) Second, is...
