We’ve got some stand out new releases that were very easy for us to pick this week, along with information about our Daredevil Appreciation Graphic Novel Sale! First up is the long awaited Sandman Overture #2! The Sandman’s epic origin story continues in the second issue of the new miniseries by the superstar team of writer Neil Gaiman and artist J.H. Williams III! In which Daniel enters Mad Hettie’s dream and Morpheus discovers why he has been summoned and what he has been summoned to do. After some delay we’re happy to say that issue number two is finally here! Sales on the first issue far exceeded our expectations and we honestly expected to sell quite a lot. This issue ships with two covers in an equal ratio, one by series regular J.H. Williams III and one by classic Sandman cover artist Dave McKean both at only $3.99! We’ll be sure to stock up on issue number one and all ten volumes of the graphic novel series along with the absolute editions. We’ve even got a $1.00 first issue reprint...

We’ve got a huge week of suggestions and recommendations this week at the comic book shop! There is a great deal of product coming out that we feel very strongly about, so hang on! Here we go! Here’s the new releases for the week of March 19th, 2014! First up is the graphic novel we’ve been waiting for for months! Green Arrow Volume 4 The Kill Machine! (This post is for you moml!)

It’s fair to say that the All New Marvel NOW titles have been a hit, developing a sub culture and following within the shop! This week we’ve got three more #1’s to try out! First up is Captain Marvel #1! Hero! Pilot! Avenger! Captain Marvel, Earth’s Mightiest Hero with death-defying powers and an attitude to match, is back and launching headfirst into an all-new ongoing series! As Captain Marvel, a.k.a. Carol Danvers, comes to a crossroads with a new life and new romance, she makes a dramatic decision that will alter the course of her life and the entire Marvel Universe in the months to come. It’s time to go HIGHER, FURTHER, FASTER and more in the most super-powered comic around! Adding to Marvel new lexicon of powerful female characters is Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Captain Marvel. It was fun watching her develop as a writer over the last few years, and we’re very excited for her relaunch of this book. (She’s Matt Fraction’s wife too!) It’s also a good week all around for our illustrious female customers as Black Widow #4 will be...

Here’s a selection of cool stuff coming out this Wednesday, March 5th 2014! Since we’re in the spirit of small press comics this week after being at the ComicsPro meeting, we’re actually going to lead with our Independent picks of the week. (And they’re not even all Image this time!) Want an inside look into the meeting? Check out this speech from Image Publisher Eric Stephenson. He praised the direct market while also insulting every other publisher in the room. We love Image Comics but we also love Superheroes too. (and My Little Pony for that matter) – ‘Good Comics And Bad Comics’ Are All That Matter First up from Boom Studios is Evil Empire #1 from Say Anything front man Max Bemis! You can feel safe hopping on this new 16 issue maxi series right from the beginning, I’ve read it and it’s great. How many times in science fiction are you just dropped into a dystopian future storyline? (think Blade Runner, or even Star Wars for that matter) Evil Empire will show you how we would get to that future starting now! See an...
