NEOTACC – CnJ Comics Swap Meet #2<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sunday July 21st 12 pm – 4 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like last year, connected to our Winston\nWorld \/ Not at ComiCon \/ Summer Sale,<\/strong> we will be teaming up with the larger\nthan life dudes from NEOTACC (NorthEast Ohio Toys and Collectibles Club…you\nknow who they are) to put on another wildly successful swap meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love that picture mashup. Anyway.\nTables are still available for reserve if you want to sell some stuff (probably\nonly for the next 5 minutes. They all went SUPER fast last year). But this\nevent is completely open to the public. Its like the yard sale of your dreams\nif you are hunting for nerdy pop culture treasures. Its a great end cap to our\nweekend long sale and a great alternative for geek culture if you can\u2019t make it\nto San Diego for ComiCon that weekend. Speaking of which\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winston World \/ Not-at-ComiCon Summer Sale<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thursday July 18th – Sunday July 21st<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that weekend that some special folks\ntravel to the West Coast for the big event we make sure there is plenty going\non in jolly ol\u2019 Cleveland. We will have upcoming announcements about the\nspecific sales that weekend but keep your calendar open. Everything in the\nstore will be discounted. It’s a great opportunity to corner your favorite\ncomic shop expert and insist they tell you what you should be reading that you\nhaven’t gotten to yet. We read a bunch of stuff, so trust us, we know what we\nare talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ok. Onto the main event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the featured new titles for\nWednesday June 19th 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC TITLES<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Frank Miller is at it again! He is\ngoing to redefine the origin of the Man of Steel himself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any comic fan knows that it has been\ndifficult to consistently go to bat for Mr. Miller, but if Superman: Year\nOne <\/strong>fulfills even half of the promises made by Batman: Year One we are in\nfor a serious treat. John Romita Jr\u2019s art for our native son, Superman, has\nalways been electric (See Superman Men of Tomorrow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read a blurb about a part in issue #1 of Year One where they show baby Kal\u2019s journey from Krypton in his rocket from the first person. I\u2019m a little more than jazzed to see what happens from there.(<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will have 2 covers available for\nissue #1. The main cover by Romita and the B cover by Miller himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC\u2019s Year of the Villain is off to a\ngreat start since its FCBD debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Justice League #26 will continue the\nprologue of this status quo with more info about Lex Luthor\u2019s \u201coffer.\u201d All of\nthis is coming together in a way that promises to be EXPLOSIVE. The citizens of\nthe world are having a hard time finding reasons to trust their heroes, maybe\nit’s time to put their faith in the hands of a darker cabal?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARVEL TITLES<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On to the portion of the show for all\nof us Marvel Zombies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Donny Cates has been killing it lately.\nThis is not up for debate. Silver Surfer: Black #1 <\/strong>last week was\nspectacular (2nd prints available this week in case you missed it) and coming\nup with Guardians of the Galaxy #6 <\/strong>he is concluding his first story arc,\nin which every galactic hero was thrown into a black hole like matchsticks in\nthe wind, Gamora was \u201ckilled\u201d by the Anti-Guardians, Thanos was\nreborn!…maybe! What’s left to happen? I\u2019m in the void at the moment but i\ncan’t wait to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of great writing. All of Chip\nZdarsky\u2019s Marvel work will have a lasting effect for years. Just great\nstorytelling. Take a look at ANY of his issues of Peter Parker the Spectacular\nSpider-Man or Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He just started a new story arc\nin Daredevil and it promises more of the same greatness. Check out Daredevil\n#7 <\/strong> this week to get caught up…That pesky Kingpin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay. And would it really be a Ben\nkind-of post if I didn’t mention Deadpool in some capacity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. Of course not. Luckily Deadpool\n#14 <\/strong>is coming out this week so they made it easy for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even during a full blown War of the\nRealms (see any issue of Jason Aaron\u2019s Thor run…seriously do it! So much\nGiant-Demon-Fire-Golbin-Minotaur fighting. It’s incredible) the rest of the\nworlds heroes try and distance themselves from the Merc with a Mouth as much as\npossible. So last issue Deadpool was air dropped into Australia to deal with\nUllic and his troll army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So far he is doing\u2026 an okay job. This\nissue promises to go full Mad Max! Look at that cover! I can’t wait to see him\ntear it up on thousands of trolls. Especially alongside a new Australian hero\nnamed Nancy the Nuke. What could go wrong…or right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMALL PRESS TITLES<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Everyone should be excited by IDW\u2019s\nacquisition of the historical comic staple Usagi Yojimbo<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A ronin rabbit adventuring through Edo\nJapan? Yes please. The material for this character has always been fantastic.\nAlways overseen by comic legend Stan Sakai, he wrote, drew, and lettered the\nbeginning of this series. That’s quite a feat! Check out issue #1 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of amazing stories\nbeing woven outside of the big two companies\u2019 grasp. Here are two that I have\nreally been enjoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Garth Ennis is telling some kind of\nstory here. Walk Through Hell <\/strong>is part FBI investigation and part\nSusperia level mind wrinkle. I have been avidly reading it since issue #1 and\nthe direction it is heading in still boggles my mind. It’s a great head trip.\nThe first story arc is collected in a paperback. Be warned. You will have no\nidea what’s happening until it happens in the best way possible. Don’t go into\nany unknown portside warehouses anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Boom Studios seems to have written Matt\nKindt a creative blank check. He\u2019s building a really fun universe. In Black\nBadge <\/strong>the clandestine workings of governments are executed by the Boy Scout\ntroops of the world. \u201cPrison riot down the road? Huh? We were just camping.\u201d\n\u201cDam explosion that destabilized a small government? Nope we were just roasting\nweenies.\u201d It’s an amazing concept and, again, the first story arc is collected\nfor your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See. I told you we were good at all of\nthose off-the-wall recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it for this week\u2019s update True\nBelievers! Thank you for bearing with my wordy-wordy-ness! If we don’t see you\nin the shop this week then we\u2019ll see you in July for the Summer Sale and Swap\nMeet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Signing off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
