There’s lots of\ngreat stories going on right now, and the top three are all represented in this\nweeks\u2019 picks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have some\ninfo for you on this Saturday’s ‘Batman Day’ which basically features some FREE\ncomics and discounts on Batman books and merchandise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the featured\nnew releases coming out this Wednesday, September 18th, 2019! (My birthday!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABSOLUTE CARNAGE<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Absolute Carnage is\nthe 90’s story you always wanted but crafted with a modern feel. It really\nshows how far comics have come when you hold this series up against the\noriginal “Maximum Carnage”, which we sold a lot of back in the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to a\nnew issue of the core series, we also have a new issue of Lethal Protectors,\nand reprints of Scream #1 and the Separation Anxiety One Shot coming in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get\noverwhelmed by crossovers if you don’t want to, the core five issue mini series\nis enough. (It’s fun to look around to though.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOUSE OF X<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There’s not much of\na team left after House of X #4, but issue #5 comes out this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This whole thing\nhas been fun. To see how Apocalypse and Mister Sinister really do\nplay a role in the survival of mutants is a great element to the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been getting\nbig stacks of reprints in, and this week House of X #2 and Powers of X #3 will\nbe hitting the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to\ngrow your Krakoa plant and mark your calendar for our first ever BOOK CLUB\nreviewing the series on Thursday October 10th at 8:15pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BATMAN<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tom King kind of\nfell apart after Batman’s non-wedding in issue 50, but as he completes his run\nwith ‘City of Bane” we’re back in with some of the best stuff he’s written\nto date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Catwoman and Batman\nhave one more job to do before they re-enter the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reprints on issue\n#77 this week, which featured the death of…..I’m not sayin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPIDER-MAN<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t read it\nyet, but the new five issue Spider-Man series looks to be a big deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

JJ Abrams co-writes\nthis book with his son Henry, and word is it’s got a very strong father\/son\ntheme to it. This is going to be a timeless story, and the art by Sara Pichelli\nwill surely do it justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is so off\nthat people are tying to decide if it’s a What If story or possible\ncannon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“SMALL” PRESS<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Also, this week is a huge Original Graphic Novel, Guts by Raina Telgemeier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Raina is literally\na comic book powerhouse all by herself, and her line of semi autobiographical\nbooks (Smile, Sisters, Drama, Ghosts) are the best selling in the genre. This\nbook has over a million copy print run coming out of the gate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week is also\nthe release of the “Selling Comics Guide to Retailing” printed by\nDark Horse and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

” Selling Comics is a practical guide to the nuts and\nbolts of modern comics retailing, with essays and “best practices”\nguidelines from some of the sharpest minds in the industry. Featuring articles\non almost every aspect of comic retailing, including staging successful\nin-store events, training staff, and diversifying product lines, Selling Comics\nis a ground level guide to building, developing, and growing your shop.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this book in\nthis week’s picks? Do I want everyone to run out and open up a shop? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is I got\nto write the chapter on Social Media! Hey! Cool! (it’s like a birthday present\nto myself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BATMAN DAY<\/u><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, this\nSaturday is “Batman Day”. It’s gotten to the point where it caters to\nbig box stores, but we still want to take care of everyone. We have stacks of\nthe two FREE comics to give away that were made especially for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batman Who\nLaughs Batman Day Special Edition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Batman Nightwalker\nBatman Day Special Edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
