So we will be reopening (with alot of measures in place) on Tuesday May 12th! This week I will compose an email with all the details on how we will do that while keeping you and us safe! We’ve been working like crazy to meet up with the Governor’s expectations and then some. The first new comic book week will be on Wednesday May 20th and Marvel states they will resume shipping on Wednesday May 27th (Just a little product each week until July.) Again, more to come on that. Oh yeah, we’re also open for non contact curbside now too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Monday will be our 6th Facebook Live Sale from 6 pm to 7:30 pm EST. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May the 4th be with You! It’ll be more late Silver \/ early\nBronze Marvels (mostly early Bronze) and yes there will be some Star Wars in\nit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve pretty much got the system down. Look for a gallery of the\nbooks on our Facebook Page early tomorrow, then when we go live claim the book\nafter it is presented with the price so everyone has the same starting point.\nBen will re-watch the video afterwards and check time stamps then publish a\nlist of winners. As always contact us at info@cnjcomics.com<\/a> or\n216-252-0606 for payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect a Gallery Sale on Thursday, and one more (?) live Sale on Sunday the 10th at 6 pm EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we said before, we think you’d be very comfortable with the\nlengths we’ve gone through to create a safe shopping experience for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also for the record, I have been tested for CoVid-19, so both\nthe active virus and antibodies, both came up negative. So I do not have it,\nand I haven’t had it in the past. I attest that to good hand-washing. I will be\nretested again in three weeks. (I volunteered for a research study at Metro\nHospital. That swab goes all the way up and beyond)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, here’s might thoughts on what should have been Free\nComic Book Day this past weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Free Comic Book Day 2020. We\u2019ve been doing it\nsince the first year in 2002 when there were only four books to choose from.\nThe event grew organically, and in 2009 we started having a midnight event, the\nmain event of which was a race around the plaza by Superman and the Flash. We\nthought it would just be this dumb thing but hundreds of people showed up. At\nthat point, attendance grew dramatically. This morning when I woke up I\nimmediately felt like I had something to do, and I realized it was Free Comic\nBook Day. I always felt like FCBD was a wedding I get to throw each year, if\nyou had to make each wedding better than the last one. But we only set the stage,\nit fills up with the best people possible after that, and that\u2019s you. Literally\nthe best thing that happens to me in the shop are when two customers seem to\nknow each other that I didn\u2019t realize were friends and when I ask how they met\nthey say \u2018here.\u2019 That\u2019s the best, man. That\u2019s the stuff. The staff works so\nhard and so many members of the community donate so much of their time and\neffort that it\u2019s still fascinates me after all these years. There\u2019s a line in\nA-Team where someone says \u2018They\u2019re the best at what they do and they specialize\nin the ridiculous.\u2019 That\u2019s my crew, my boys. Four years ago I got to visit Joe\nField, the founder of FCBD, in his shop in Concord California. We went out to\nlunch and talked about comics. That\u2019s a great memory. A big part of FCBD comes\nfrom concepts I learned working at Burning Man for ten years, the most\nimportant of which is \u2018radical inclusion\u2019, which is going out of your way to\nmake sure everyone feels included. Everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So fear not! It ain\u2019t over, not by a long shot. I have a plan\nin my brain that changes daily when new information presents itself. If I had\nto guess, I\u2019d say a no frills dispersal of the books near the end of the\nsummer. Just getting the books to people in a safe and controlled manor will be\na feat in and of itself. We\u2019re up for the challenge. Six months from now will\nbe our 30th Anniversary, and if the social climate is clear, we will have a\nparty. Oh yes! Full of all kinds of stupid and ridiculous stuff, the kind that\nwe love to put together. And guess what? You\u2019re all invited. Everyone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
