So,\nthe big news this week is that we are opening up the foyer again with 150 long\nboxes of Marvel and DC comics in there for only $1.00 each. (50 cents each for\n100 or more!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bins are Open<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That’s about 50,000\ncomics and a majority of them are in order too. They’ll be in the foyer from\nWednesday September 9th till end of day Monday, September 14th. (We thought\nwe’d add one more day after the weekend.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening the foyer adds\nfive to our occupancy limit but try and keep a respectful distance from\neveryone while you’re digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC New Releases<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

New releases this week\ninclude DC’s Death Metal Trinity Crisis One Shot, which is written by Scott\nSnyder and ties directly into Death Metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The big three are back\nagain, and they’re up against the Anti Monitor, Superboy Prime and Darkseid.\n(dare I hope this pokes a little fun at previous crises?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good story is a good\nstory, and I’m giving a personal shout out to the Basket Full of Heads\nHardcover written by Joe Hill, Steven King’s son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Joe has the same\nwriting skills as his father and what would be a campy plot turns into a\nfantastic horror story with proper characterization. “June Branch is a woman\ntrapped with four cunning criminals who have snatched her boyfriend for\nderanged reasons of their own. Now she must fight for her life with the help of\nan impossible 8th-century Viking axe that can pass through a man\u2019s neck in a\nsingle swipe\u2014and leave the severed head still conscious and capable of\nsupernatural speech.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel New Releases<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over at Marvel Amazing\nSpider-Man has been getting better and better, best to hop on this week before\nthe next issue and the return of the Green Goblin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oh yeah, Marvel got\nthe rights to Ultraman, and he’s got a new #1 this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We also got a few more\nof the seriously discounted Marvel graphic novels in, and I ordered up on one\nin particular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Captain America Fallen Son came out after Cap died in the aftermath of Civil War. It was a five part mini series written by Jeph Loeb (Batman Long Halloween) with each issue highlighting a different stage of the grieving process. (denial-anger-bargaining-depression and acceptance.) What’s more, each issue had art by a different artist, David Finch, John Cassady, Ed McGunness, John Romita Jr and Leinil Yu.) The Iron Man bargaining issue by John Romita Jr features Hawkeye and is one of my top ten favorite comics of all time. John Cassady (Astonishing X-Men, Planetery) draws the final funeral issue and it’s beautiful too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book runs for\n$19.99 but we’ll have it for only $4.00. Enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Comic Book Summer Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the final week\nfor Free Comic Book Day Summer, so stop in Saturday for the final three books.\n(You can also grab any of the books we have left over from previous weeks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, I hope\nFree Comic Book Day isn’t dead and that it comes back someday when events are a\ngood idea. If not, we’ll just figure something else out. Free Comic Book Day\nwas never really about the free comics anyway, it was about community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weeks books\ninclude Mark Waid’s new Incal story (mature), Legend of Zelda (Teen) and Sue\nand Tai-Chan (Winston’s pick, an old cat has to deal with the energy of a young\none. All Ages!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who\ndid come out on Saturdays to help us out. We saw a little boost in sales every\nSaturday to help cover the cost of the books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, (and we hid this at the bottom of the email to see if you were listening) we’ll have more Marvel masks going out Wednesday at noon! $10 each, limit two per person and we don’t profit from selling them, it’s just a service we provide when we can. Thanks again to Margaret for making them for us!<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
