DC’s Future State is Here at CNJComics 1-6-2021

DC’s Future State is Here at CNJComics 1-6-2021

It’s a great start to the New Year, with a beginning and an end at DC, as well as some great Marvel books and Crossover #3 as well! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, January 6th, 2021! DC’s Future State While it’s been a crazy ride, Dark Nights Death Metal ends on a high note, with a really heartfelt final issue.  The series has been a commentary on the state of DC Comics, from big crossovers to the mess they’ve made with continuity over the years. Rest assured that at the end of this book, it’s reinforced that all the stories matter. The whole issue just felt very comforting.  Another stray comic left over from whatever Dan Didio was going to do with his now dead DC5G project was the $9.99 Generations Shattered One Shot.  A team is pulled together from across the Multiverse to tell the history of the DC Universe. (I did not get to read this issue yet, so I’m just going with the copy.) Now let’s jump into the six Future State books...

Holiday Pandemic Art Show at CNJComics Dec 16th-20th

Just because we can’t have a Holiday Party doesn’t mean we can’t have an Art Show! Everyone year we reach out to Cleveland’s Art Community to help us put together an art show to help the Cleveland Food Bank, who have the amazing ability to turn one dollar into four full meals for those in need. (and the need is currently greater than ever.) Local artists turn blank comic covers into works of art that can be won through a basket raffle system where one dollar gets you one ticket towards the cover of your choice.
