We’ve got five new number one’s hitting the table this week, and they’ve all turned out to be fun reads! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, June 6th, 2018! ( D-day! ) BOOK OF THE WEEK The book of the week if the new Justice League by Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung, who recently came over from Marvel Comics. Snyder only had a co-writing credit on Justice League No Justice, but you can definitely feel his presence as the only writer here. Cheung came ready to impress, as the work he put into this issue is phenomenal. A great starting point and it looks like it’s going to feature the return of the Legion of Doom. (which has been a hit since the 70’s. You can’t go wrong with a Super Villain team.) MARVEL # 1’s Next comes Deadpool #1 from Marvel Comics! Skottie Young has taken over as writer and Wade has gone back to Merc’ing for a living. There’s a parental advisory rating on this one, and with Young’s work on “I Hate Fairyland” over at...

It’s a great week at the shop, with even more cool stuff looming on the horizon! Here’s the featured new releases for May 30th, 2018! HERE COMES SPIDER-MAN The big one this week is Amazing Spider-Man #800, with Peter’s final showdown with the Red Goblin and the (near) end of Dan Slott’s run on this title. This giant $9.99 issue has a slew of variants, though we’re really excited about the story inside. Starting at #794, this story has slowly built up into a much anticipated showdown. The Red Goblin has stated that if Peter ever shows his face as Spider-Man again he will kill everyone he loves, and everyone they know, etc. (I guess as far as he can figure it out.) It’s all made for good comic books though. 🙂 We have sold out of all our variant sets. We have sold sold out of all of the 1:100 and 1:200 variants. (Through preorder.) Get to the shop early Wednesday for a chance to pick from the variants that are left, or be content with the standard yet really awesome Alex...

It’s a great week for Marvel, as some of their best projects are all released at once! Black Panther gets a new number one as T’Challa looks to the stars for the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda! Still written by Ta’Nehisi Coates, but this time he’s joined by Daniel Acuna, who’s art seems to fit the story perfectly. Get to the shop early Wednesday for this great cover priced variant cover: It’s time for Brian Michael Bendis’ last Marvel Comic book, for now at least. Iron Man #600 brings Tony Stark back and hopefully closes up some of Brian’s storylines. I’ll alway considered Avengers Disassembled to Siege to be one of the best time periods in Marvel history, largely due to his contributions.  Donny Cates’ run on Thanos has been so strong (and well timed) that we’ll be getting 3rd, 4th and even 5th printings of all the issues this week. Great stuff, get them all at once! Cates is now writing Venom, and will be writing a Cosmic Ghost Rider series, as well as a ‘Death of the Inhumans’ mini series. (Maybe...
