It’s finally here, Action Comics #1000 hits the stands this week! This huge $7.99 comic features all original content including Brian Michael Bendis’ first Superman story with art by Jim Lee!! You can see the first four pages of that story HERE!  This book also features a story by Tom King which you can read in full in all its annoying digital glory! Other than that, you’re just going to have to stop by the shop to pick up a copy! The line up of creators include: BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS • JOHN CASSADAY • OLIVIER COIPEL • PAUL DINI • JOSE LUIS GARCIA-LOPEZ • PATRICK GLEASON • BUTCH GUICE • GEOFF JOHNS • DAN JURGENS • TOM KING • JIM LEE • CLAY MANN • BRAD MELTZER • JERRY ORDWAY • TIM SALE • LOUISE SIMONSON • SCOTT SNYDER • CURT SWAN • PETER J. TOMASI • MARV WOLFMAN…AND MORE! This issue also sports eight ‘decades’ variants, as well as a blank variant for sketches. All of these variants will be cover-price and the best way to get them is...

Free Comic Book Day is a little over three weeks away, Action Comics #1000 will have a midnight release on Tuesday, April 17th, BUT FOR NOW…here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, April 11th, 2018! MARVEL COMICS Captain America #700 is the final chapter of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee’s ‘Out of Time’ story, and also contains a ‘new’ ten page story written by Waid using recycled Jack Kirby artwork! A great idea for this $5.99 anniversary issue! This is also an important issue for us personally, because we ordered up so we’d qualify for the Jim Steranko variant cover, which we will be offering for cover price! Steranko will be a the shop this year for Free Comic Book Day, and this is one of the books we wanted to have available that day! (You can however, pick this book up now!) It’s also time to get it in gear for Avengers Infinity War, so if you haven’t been reading Donny Cates’ Thanos, you missing out on many levels.  It’s a great read, and it’s always fun when that syncs...

Just a quick note to remind you that we’ll be closed on Easter Sunday, but we’re ready for a full shopping day on Saturday! We just got a new shipment of Superhero Pop Funs, which fit perfectly in Easter Baskets. Well, this Venompool one might be a bit too much, but you get the idea. We restocked with a focus on Diamond Exclusives, which means ones you can only get in a local comic book shop.  Here, this is better. Angry Superman. Probably angry at Batman or something.  We also have Superhero Digest books, as well as Superhero Early Reader books, again compact enough for that basket.  Magnets, pins and of course GIFT CERTIFICATES always work great too.  For this week’s new releases we have four important books hitting the table just before the end of Q1. The conclusion of Dark Nights Metal with issue #6. Another issue of Doomsday Clock, along with reprints of all the previous issues to catch you up. We also have copies of all six issues of Batman White Knight by Sean Murphy, which turned out to...

Just a reminder that this Saturday we’ll be hosting an “Independent Comics Day” in the shop! Why? because March is a pretty dull month except for the big green drunk thing.  All day on March 24th we’ll have: 20% off all Small Press Graphic Novels and Hardcovers 50% off all Small Press Back Issues We’ve also put together 20 boxes of independent back issues that will be only 50 cents each. These books are in order by letter, i.e. all the A’s are together, all the B’s are together etc.  Lots of these books have never been looked through before, so dig away! We’ve also got some free stuff to give away to help you explore the world of comics outside the big two. Stuff like suggested reading guides for Image and IDW, some free preview issues, and we’ve even got a box of old Free Comics Book Day books that everyone can pull some free books out of.  We love superhero comics here more than anyone, but we also like a well spun independent comic as well.  To get ready for Easter shopping,...
