We couldn\u2019t be more excited here at the shop, and it was the first thing we did as soon as we got our Diamond shipment this week. We\u2019ve got plenty of swag here at the shop too to commemorate the moment, including pins, stickers, and temporary tattoos (while they last). And I\u2019ve got my Saga shirt on today, because of course I\u2019ve got to rep Cleveland native Brian K. Vaughan and the best book out now, period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While today\u2019s big book is definitely the return of Saga, we\u2019ve got a few other great books in the shop this week.

But unfortunately, he unexpectedly passed away last year before the completion of the book, sending the book into limbo. But friends and colleagues of his have stepped up to remember and honor the late artist, and this week we now have the Batman Catwoman Special out now. It\u2019s a great Bruce and Selina story, telling the story of their lives and love, all set during my favorite time of year, Christmas in Gotham. This $10 special is also an excellent tribute to the late artist, JPL. A great addition to any Bat fan\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/PEACEMAKER.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"691\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/PEACEMAKER.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/PEACEMAKER.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/PEACEMAKER-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Cena\u2019s Peacemaker was the best part of the new Suicide Squad movie, in my opinion, and he\u2019s definitely been getting a lot of play in the DC universe since then.&nbsp; This week, we\u2019ve got an amazing one-shot featuring the antihero written by comics legend Garth Ennis in Peacemaker: Disturbing the Peace. \u201cLong before joining the Suicide Squad, Christopher Smith, code name Peacemaker, meets with a psychiatrist\u2014a woman dangerously obsessed with his bizarre and violent past. From his tragic childhood to his military service overseas to his multiple missions with Special Forces, Smith has more than his share of skeletons in the closet. But who\u2019s actually analyzing whom? And will this trip down memory lane result in yet more fatalities? Garth Ennis and Garry Brown delve deep into Christopher Smith\u2019s history of violence, and reveal what might bring peace\u2014or not\u2014to the Peacemaker.\u201d This issue was brutal, and one of the best books of the week too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marvel Comics<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-675x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-675x1024.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-768x1166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-1012x1536.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF-1349x2048.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DEATH-OF.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The finale to one of the most successful Marvel miniseries in recent memory that I can remember, with each issue getting more and more readers, The Death of Doctor Strange wraps up this week with issue #5. The murderer is revealed, and nothing will be the same. I\u2019m so far behind on this, so no spoilers for me, but I\u2019m excited to see what happens next with the Sorcerer Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-DEATHS.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week saw the debut of X Lives of Wolverine, and this week sees the debut of the companion series, X Deaths of Wolverine. This series is definitely for fans of current X-happenings and for those who want to see the direct continuation of a certain character\u2019s story after the events of Jonathan Hickman\u2019s Inferno, X Deaths had a lot of anticipation behind it after last week\u2019s X Lives. We don\u2019t have enough copies on the table this week, but let us know if you\u2019d like to be added to this series because it looks to be the definitive Wolverine story of the Krakoan Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s just some of the great books out this week. It\u2019s been a hectic and snowy 2022, but we\u2019re wrapping up the first month of the year with a bang with the return of Saga. We\u2019ve got a lot of cool things going on behind the scenes too here at the shop, and we\u2019re excited to share it all with you as soon as we can. In the meantime, thank you all for the support and reading this newsletter week in and week out. There\u2019s more to come. We hope to see you all in the shop this week, have a good one everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace, Love, and Comics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael Calzada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Carol and John\u2019s Comic Shoppers!
