It’s that time of year again! If you’re new to the culture of the shop, our Black Friday event is our longest-running event, going on for over 20 years now. We host this event from 7 pm to midnight on Friday, so our staff can be with their families and you can get any other shopping chores out of the way before hanging out with us. It’s a really fun social event too, and a fun tradition for a lot of our customers. It’s more about enjoying the hobby than a mad consumer battle. It’s our biggest sale of the year too, and one of only two times that we pull all the books out of our backroom and storage locker and make them $1.00 each. (50 cents each for 100 or more!) We’ve got lots of stuff that’s never been picked through before, as we’ve been buying up collections left and right lately. It’s about 75,000 books. They’re in pretty good order too, so get your list together! Also that night, from 7 pm to midnight: 50% off all...

Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019. We’ve decided to feature some Spider-Man books this week, starting with the main title, Amazing Spider-Man #32.  Miguel O’Hara is back, and that means Spider-Man 2099 is as well. (You may remember him from the awesome end credits scene in “Into the Spider-Verse.”) Also, this week is a very special giant-sized one-shot, Spider-Man Full Circle. A huge $9.99 issue that’s full of impressive creators passing the ‘torch’ of the story to each other. As per Marvel:  “Essentially, Jonathan Hickman and artist Chris Bachalo are going to drop Spider-Man into the middle of the action. Gerry Duggan and Greg Smallwood will pick up from the cliffhanger and go from there. Then, Nick Spencer and Michael Allred will try to top it, followed by Kelly Thomspon & Valerio Schiti, Al Ewing & Chris Sprouse, Chip Zdarsky & Rachael Stott, and Jason Aaron & Cameron Stewart with Mark Bagley.” It’s also guest-starring Wolverine, Nick Fury, and Spider-Ham! Mary Jane gets her own title this week, with an Artgerm Variant cover. The...
