Featured New Releases for 9-25-2019

Here’s the featured new releases for Wednesday, September 25th, 2019! MARVEL TITLES Absolute Carnage moves forward with two new crossovers this week, Amazing Spider-Man #30 and Absolute Carnage Miles Morales #2! The covers pretty much sell themselves. We’ll also have 4th prints of Absolute Carnage #1, 2nd prints of #2 and more 1st prints of #3. Powers of X #5 is this week. Just a reminder that Thursday, October 10th at 8:15pm is our first ever book club, and we’ll be covering the whole House of X and Powers of X series since it will conclude with Powers of X #6 on the 9th. We’re be covering each issue briefly, looking for stuff you may not have known. We’ll also bring some conceptual questions to the floor, so be ready to get into a little philosophy. We don’t know everything about these books, and we don’t pretend to. We’re looking to learn something from you all as well! I’m excited about New Mutants War Children One-shot, featuring the original crew written by Chris Claremont with art by Bill Sienkiewicz! We’re...

Batman Day and Featured New Releases for 9-18-2019 at CNJComics

There’s lots of great stories going on right now, and the top three are all represented in this weeks’ picks! We also have some info for you on this Saturday’s ‘Batman Day’ which basically features some FREE comics and discounts on Batman books and merchandise.  Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, September 18th, 2019! (My birthday!) ABSOLUTE CARNAGE Absolute Carnage is the 90’s story you always wanted but crafted with a modern feel. It really shows how far comics have come when you hold this series up against the original “Maximum Carnage”, which we sold a lot of back in the day! In addition to a new issue of the core series, we also have a new issue of Lethal Protectors, and reprints of Scream #1 and the Separation Anxiety One Shot coming in.  Don’t get overwhelmed by crossovers if you don’t want to, the core five issue mini series is enough. (It’s fun to look around to though.) HOUSE OF X There’s not much of a team left after House of X #4, but issue #5...

Featured New Releases for 9-4-2019

Wow! It’s about to be another great week at the comic book shop with some spectacular new releases! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, September 4th, 2019! Spawn 300 First up is Spawn #300, setting the record for the longest-running independent comic in history! Oversized $7.99 issue, lots of covers to choose from, with interior art by Greg Capullo, J Scott Campbell and Todd MacFarlane himself! Scott Snyder even has a few words in there! Come early on Wednesday to get your copy, because they will go fast and our distributor is out of stock! Marvel Comics House of X #4 is here, but the really big news is we have big stacks of the third prints of both House and Powers of X #1! Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 10th! These books have been so fun to talk about that we’ll be hosting a book club to talk about it from 8:15 pm to 9:15 pm the day after the final issue of Powers of X #6 comes out.  This will be a spoiler full...

Marvel Comics #1000 and Featured New Releases at CNJComics 8-28-2018

Marvel Comics #1000 and Featured New Releases at CNJComics 8-28-2018

This is a huge week, but by far the biggest stand out is the epic Marvel Comics #1000! One huge $9.99 perfect bound book with an incredible list of creators! I had a chance to read this book last month and I’m a big fan. Every page is a quick vignette representing a different year in Marvel’s history, starting with the first panel of Marvel Comics #1. The core backstory was written by Al Ewing of Immortal Hulk. It’s not going to be for everyone but I really enjoyed the format and the history involved.  Here’s Marvel’s promo video, as this book made a big splash at D23 last week.  We have a lot of covers coming in so come in early on Wednesday to pick yours out! Here’s a gallery of covers as they’re all really fun to look at! Absolute Carnage continues with it’s second issue by Donny Cates. Such a great modern tribute to the 90’s. We have enough books to fill pre orders as well as some copies hitting the table! We also finally have pre-orders...

Featured New Releases for 8-21-2019

It’s a short and simple week at the comic shop! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, August 21st, 2019! DC Titles Frank Miller and John Romita Jr have been crafting a new origin for Superman in DC’s adult “Black Label” line. Issue #2 (of 3) comes out this week.  This chapter follows Clark though a coming of age story set in Atlantis, which likely means Lori Lemaris. A lot of readers tapped out of Tom King’s Batman run after the wedding scam fiasco, but it seems like everyone’s back for his final arc, “City of Bane”. Batman #85 will be his final issue on the book, closing it out 15 issues earlier than planned.  Marvel Titles Spider-Gwen will be joining the proper Marvel Universe with Ghost Spider #1. We still only have enough copies of Powers of X #3 to cover preorders. We will be ordering heavily on reprints though, so don’t give up hope just yet. This book is well worth the wait and fun to read as a periodical. We’ll have our orders under control...

Featured New Releases for 8-14-2019

This has been a great end to the summer, with both Absolute Carnage and Jonathan Hickman’s X-Titles both being huge winners both in content and sales.  Carnage!! We sold out of Absolute Carnage last week, and we ordered A LOT. The book is also sold out nationally but I have 50 more first prints coming in at cover price this week! This was a $7.99 book and was worth every penny. It’s a classic Spider-Man – Venom – Carnage story that reads like a modernized 90’s story. Donny Cates man. Whew.  We can’t vouch for how any of the crossovers will be but we highly recommend having any that you are interested in held as demand will be high and orders were low, so many titles may not even hit the table as they are already sold out at the distributor level.  So, here’s the checklist again to print out, fill in and turn into the shop.  This week is Absolute Carnage Scream #1 and the Absolute Carnage Separation Anxiety One Shot, and we only have a few of each...
