This\nis one of the first week’s we can focus on new comic releases!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the featured\nnew releases coming out this Wednesday, June 3rd 2020!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC Comics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

First up is this\namazing Catwoman 80th Anniversary Special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Clocking in at $9.99\nit’s full of so much great material I can’t say enough about it. The Ed\nBrubaker \/ Cameron Stewart story reads like an homage to Darwyn Cooke and it’s\nworth the price of admission alone. Lots of decades variant covers too. They’ve\ndone these anniversary issues for other characters but this one comes off as a\nlabor of love for all involved. Next week is the Joker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in the $9.99\nrange is the new Birds of Prey Black Label one shot, set in the continuity of\nthe new Harley Quinn movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Written by Brian\nAzzarello, who gave us 100 Bullets and showed us Batman’s weenus in Batman\nDammed. Worth the price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel Comics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Marvel only has\ngraphic novels this week as part of their slow return to publishing, which\nwe’re a fan of. The standout this week is the new Hickman X-Men graphic novel,\nwhich is his direct follow up to House and Powers of X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Indie Comics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We finally have a new\nSabrina Comic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Archie dropped the\nball by not having a comic in place when the Netflix show turned out to be a\nhit. It might be too late now but it’s a good looking book, and what you were\nlikely looking for back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It you liked Amazon\nPrime’s The Boys show, Garth Ennis is back with a new series, The Boys: Dear\nBecky #1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Not for kids. (Heck,\nit’s likely too much for most adults as well.) If you’ve watched the show you\nknow what’s going on here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures and Discount Books<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We also got two new\nsets of Marvel Legends figures in, X-Men and Avengers. (which included some\ngamerverse figures.) Here they are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This still leaves some\nroom on the new comic book table, so we’ve put out some books at only 25 cents\neach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We\u2019ve\ngot seven long boxes going out at a quarter each. (A quarter man, it\u2019s like the\n80\u2019s in here.) Apologies to anyone who invested heavily in comics and beanie\nbabies in the 90\u2019s. Multiple copies of Maxx #1, Darker Image #1, Turok #1,\nRAVAGE 2099 #1 (back off man, it\u2019s written by Stan Lee.) and more? It\u2019s a\nflipper paradise! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nhave also decided to add eight boxes of DC Vertigo books as well, IN ORDER!\nThese books will only be out until Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh\nyeah, we’re open on Mondays now. We’ve got our deep cleaning down and are\nconfident that we can knock it out and comfortibly be open. We will continue to\nhave our at risk customer hours from 11am till noon on Thursdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comics at the Corner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This\nweek we helped Dawn Arrington with her \u2018Comics at the Corner\u2019 project, to help\nput literacy in the hands of neighbors and friends in the Buckeye and Mt\nPleasant neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cAfter seeing the effects of adult illiteracy in my neighborhood firsthand, I decided to start Comics at the Corner. Comics at the Corner seeks to put relatable and visually appealing forms of literature in as many hands as possible by way of culturally relevant comic books featuring characters of color.\u201d Since March we\u2019ve been rounding up comics and today Dawn picked up over 1,000 books featuring characters of color. \u201cUnfortunately, the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood has the city of Cleveland’s highest illiteracy rate, above 90%. I’ve witnessed the effects first hand, conversely, I’ve also witnessed the impact of putting something relatable and enjoyable in the hands of the people and to see their faces light up because of it. My goal is to keep putting comics in the hands of as many people in my community as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also donated 50 all ages Black Panther graphic novels to Dawn\u2019s cause and I hope these books help create the spark for reading that they did for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nfar as this weeks social issues go, we’re pro protest, anti riot, and we’ll\ncontinue to provide a safe space for all as well as helping out members of our\ncommunity like Dawn where ever we can, like we always have. (and always will.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks\neveryone, for being awesome through everything that’s going on right now. I\nreally like being in the shop again and selling in person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
