Upcoming Releases for 8-1-18

Well, San Diego Comic Con has come and gone and left us with some pretty cool trailers and hints of what’s to come. We also had a very cool event at shop, our first annual swap meet in conjunction with NEO-TACC! Thanks to all who came out, set up, and participated! It was great, totally cool vibe, well attended and we’re calling it a success. We’re excited to do it again next year and expand on the idea. I had a really good time with my family, which is always the standard I hold our events up too. Here’s a link to some event photos taken by Laura Wimbels.  NEO-TACC also has regular monthly meetups, so be sure to check them out here. This big new release for Wednesday, August 1st is Infinity War #1. We’ve been building up to this since Infinity Countdown Prime, and last week’s Infinity War Prime was an instant sell out and set the stage for this week’s #1. We’re also going to give you a heads up on the new Fantastic Four #1, which...

NOT-AT-COMICON Sale and Swap Meet at CNJComics

NOT-AT-COMICON Sale and Swap Meet at CNJComics

We’re in full swing here at the shop True Believers! The 2018 ‘NOT-AT-COMICON’ sale is on! We’re pulled all the books out of our storage locker and out of the back room and they are in the foyer next to the shop for only $1.00 each! (Or 50 cents each if you buy 100 or more, so bring your $50! That’s less than a one day ticket to Comicon!)  The first thing we do when we buy collections is to separate them into Marvel, DC, and Small Press. There is somewhat of an order to the books, and here’s some tips to make the most out of your time in “The Pit.” Marvel Comics A-I and X-Z are fully in order. The boxes between those letters contain some order but are really just J-W mixed up. DC has about 20 boxes in perfect order, 8 boxes of New 52 DC’s in perfect order, and a lot that is not in order, but has never been processed. The Small Press boxes are in order by letter, meaning all the “A”‘s are...

NOT-AT-COMICON Sale – Swap Meet – New Releases 7-11-2018

It’s only one more week until out yearly “NOT-AT-COMICON” sale, and this year it’s going to be pretty amazing. It will also be our first annual swap meet in conjunction with the North East Ohio Toy and Collectible Club. For everyone who is stuck at home and has to endure the unending bombardment of posts from friends at San Diego Comicon, we like to create a safe space for jealous and envious behavior. (I mean, who the heck do they think they are anyway? Out there having fun…) We also have a sale the same days as the con, July 19th to the 22nd, with: 50% off back issues 20% off Action Figures, Statues, and Pop Funs 10% off Graphic Novels and Hardcovers This is also one of only two opportunities we have to bring out all the comics from our storage locker for only $1.00 each (or 50 cents each if you buy 50 or more.) It’s about 60,000 books, with a great deal that are in order and a lot that have never been picked through. These books will be...

Batman #50 Midnight Release

Batman #50 Midnight Release

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation but I’ve got some important stuff to get out here right quick! BATMAN 50 MIDNIGHT RELEASE AND OTHERS First up, we are having a midnight release for Batman #50 at 11:59 pm on Tuesday July 3rd! We’ll be around for a half hour or so and you can pick up all your new comics releases early as per the publishers! BE WARNED!!! SPOILERS ARE EVERYWHERE!  The New York Times themselves even published an article with a spoiler in the title, so don’t even dip your head in that direction.  That being said, I’ve read it, it’s a good read, lots of good one page pin ups by amazing artists. That’s all I’m saying. Zip! You can also get Joelle Jones’ new Catwoman #1. She’s the artist who designed Selina’s dress and made a name for herself on Lady Killer.  She’s writing and drawing it so it should be pretty cool. (I’ve met her, she is cool.) As the cover says, read after Batman #50! To celebrate the 4th of July pick up the new Captain America #1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates!...

Hey there Comic Shoppers! Ben here to rep this week’s new comic releases! Yay! Before we get into the new releases for 6/27/18 let’s get you notified about some really exciting upcoming events, shall we? The Not-at-Comic-Con Sale and Swap Meet / NEOTACC Team-Up – July 19-22nd This is probably the most excited I’ve been since Free Comic Book Day! Our annual Summer Sale will go on as spectacularly as it always does with sales on back issues, new comics, merchandise, graphic novels, and the huge selection of back stock that we’ll have set up in the extra room (thanks in advance H&R Block). BUT! This year, as a great cap off to the sale, on Sunday, July 22nd we will be teaming up with The North East Ohio Toy and Collectible Club (NEOTACC) for our first official swap meet! Everyone there will be wheeling and dealing and excited to talk toys and comics. These guys are a great and fast growing Facebook community and they love telling you about their membership and events. You’ll hear a lot more about this later. Feel free ask...

Featured New Releases for 6-20-18

Here’s some featured new releases and some pretty cool announcements for this summer! NEW RELEASES Love is in the air, as wedding fever hits both of the big two this summer. This week in X-Men Gold #30 is the long awaited wedding of Colossus and Kitty Pryde, but it may not go as exactly as planned. Stay off the internet to avoid spoilers before you read this book. It’s a really great read for old X-Men fans who would just like to pick up and enjoy a single issue. At DC, we’ve got the second and final part of “The Best Man” leading up to the Wedding of Batman and Catwoman in issue #50. This is a really satisfying issue with lots of dialogue between the Joker and Selina. Please be advised that we will be having an early release event for Batman #50 on Tuesday July 3rd at 11:59 pm. There will also be a new Catwoman #1 written and drawn by Joelle Jones, as well as the new Captain America #1 by Ta Nehisi Coates coming out that...
