Raf’s Not-At-Comic-Con Kick Off for 7.20.2022

Hey everyone! This week is our big summer sale at the shop, but more on that in just a bit. We’ve got new exciting issues this week too! Let’s get into it. Marvel Comics “In the land of the righteous… The X-Men claim they’re the planet’s new gods. The Eternals know that position is already filled. The Avengers are about to realize exactly how many secrets their so-called friends have kept from them. Years of tension lead to a volcanic eruption as two worlds burn. Who has leaked the X-Men’s secrets to their latest foes? Why is Tony Stark abducting an old friend? And who stands in judgment over the whole world? Judgment Day from Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti is the apocalyptic emotional event to define the summer.” After last week’s Eve of Judgement, the AXE: Judgement Day event officially kicks off now with issue #1.   One of the most underrated Marvel series of the past year or so, Defenders: There Are No Rules by Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez, was a cosmic trip. Doctor Strange, the Masker...

Raf’s Super Solid Comics for 7.13.2022

Good morning, Carol and John’s Shoppers! We’ve got another exciting week of comics, with some big events going on in Marvel, some great storytelling from DC, and some fresh new things in small press. Let’s kick things off. Marvel Comics The next big Marvel crossover begins! “First shot fired – Judgment is coming! The Eternals know that the mutants have conquered death. But what are they going to do about it? The oldest immortals on Earth eye up the newest, and the doomsday clock starts to tick toward Judgment Day.” Written by Eternals and Immortal X-Men scribe Kieron Gillen, the news is out that mutants have learned to cheat death and resurrect themselves on Krakoa. It’s rubbed a lot of people in the Marvel Universe the wrong way, but especially the Eternals: immortality is kind of their shtick. A.X.E. Judgement Day officially kicks off next week with #1, but this week’s Eve of Judgement serves as the zero issue. Check out the trailer below for the epic crossover event. Last year’s inaugural Hellfire Gala event in the pages of X-Men...

Raf’s Giant-Sized Week of New Releases for 7.6.2022

Hi, Carol and John’s Shoppers! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July. This week is MASSIVE, with an insane amount of new and exciting books, perfect for those back-to-work blues after the holiday weekend. Let’s check things out. DC Comics The next big Batman run begins! Chip Zdarsky has been lighting up the Marvel Universe with his Daredevil run and has been dipping his toes into the DC Universe recently too, but now he takes on the Dark Knight full-time with Batman #125 new this week. “Bruce Wayne is at a turning point, haunted by dreams of a dark future, while Gotham City billionaires are being gruesomely murdered. With the discovery of an archenemy’s involvement and a tragedy unfolding, the Dark Knight’s nightmares are just beginning. Failsafe starts here.” And while I don’t typically read the backups, this issue has the beginning of a pretty exciting one with Catwoman tasked to track down the 10 kids of the supervillain [REDACTED]. You are NOT going to want to miss out on this new Batman run. It even...
