It’s one of those really terrific weeks at the comic shop, with loads of new product hitting the shelves. Here’s the featured new releases for Wednesday, October 4th, 2017. MARVEL LEGACY This is the first week for the new Marvel Legacy titles. Each book is a new starting point with some component that pulls in some of Marvel’s rich history. Each issue also features three extra primer pages to give you a quick recap of the character or team featured in the book. Marvel has returned to ‘Legacy Numbering’, and where appropriate, has given a numbering guide to show you how they got to where they are today. Here’s a few examples of this week’s stand out Legacy titles: Avengers #672 : Written by Mark Waid and springing out of the Generations One Shots, it’s the Avengers verse the Champions! And here’s how they came up with issue #672. Iron Fist #73: Featuring Sabertooth, who made his first appearance in the title way back in issue #14 in 1977. Venom #155: Featuring the return of classic Venom artist Mark Bagley...

This Saturday, September 23rd, is Batman 2017. We pretty much knocked it out of the park the first year, but since then the day has been commodified by big box stores.  This year we will have a simple system to hand out the free merchandise so that you don’t have to deal with the cold feeling those lofted ceiling give you in your soul.  This year the day has been hijacked by Harley Quinn, to celebrate her 25th Anniversary!  So, stop in the shop on Saturday and you’ll get three exclusive comics free with any purchase! Batman Day 2017 Special Edition. A reprint of ‘I Am Bane’ part one by Tom King with a Dark Knight Returns Homage cover.  Harley Quinn Batman Day 2017 Special Edition.

The first chapter of the upcoming ‘Out of the Bottle’ graphic novel.  We have lots of these to give away, so we should be good for all day Saturday and Sunday.  We’ve also...

We’re excited to finally announce the plans for our Jack Kirby Centennial Event! While Jack’s actual 100th Birthday was on August 28th, we’ve decided to hold our event on Saturday September 16th from 10am to 7pm. UPDATES! The two big things we have to add involve other businesses in the plaza: First up, Working Class Brewery next to the shop will have two beers available on the day, a Devil Dinosaur Red Ale and a ‘King’ Kirby IPA. Stop by between noon and 8pm and try them out, get a free comic, and they’ll donate 10% of the sale to the Hero Initiative! We’re planning on going down to the brewery as a group after the day is done between 7pm and 8pm to enjoy our first taste of the beers, so stop by and hang out with the CNJ Crew for awhile! Second, the Kamm’s Corner Ice Cream Company will be doing the same with their Kirby Krackle Ice Cream, so please consider engaging them on the day as well.  We’re excited that both of these businesses have opened up in our plaza, and we hope...
