Black Panther has lots of enjoyable graphic novel material, so don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for a rec. The first volume of Christopher Priest&#8217;s run is my favorite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to keep an eye out for is anything by Donny Cates. His current run on Thanos and Doctor Strange are both impressive. (Thanos has a pet Ghost Rider and occasionally looks into his eyes for the penance stare so he can reminisce about all the pain he&#8217;s caused.)<\/p>\n<p>Cates&#8217; Image work on Redneck also earned him a &#8216;Best New Series&#8217; award form Diamond. It&#8217;s all great stuff but a tad hard to find till the reprints show up. This week we will have a reprint of Thanos #13.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5197\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thanos-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"1197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thanos-13.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thanos-13-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thanos-13-768x1182.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thanos-13-666x1024.jpg 666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/>Lastly, we&#8217;ve taken January&#8217;s down time and we&#8217;ve started to restructure the Marvel back issue from the top down. We&#8217;ve just refilled and reorganized all the titles starting with &#8216;A&#8221;, and this has produced six boxes of excess we&#8217;re selling for only 50 cents each.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5199\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1210\" height=\"907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A.jpg 1210w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Marvel-A-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1210px) 100vw, 1210px\" \/>There&#8217;s a lot of Avengers in there, and the best part is they are in perfect order.
