Hi Comic Shop Friends! It\u2019s another small-ish week, so we\u2019re having a quiet start to the year at the shop, which is a nice break after a busy December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of things coming up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Nite Comics is back! Thursday, January 18th from 8pm to midnight we\u2019ll be pulling out dollar boxes, and those books will only be 50 cents each! Grab some deals and fill up your collection! You can\u2019t beat 50 cent books!e<\/p>\n\n\n

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

We have a temporary setup until the new back issue bins are built, but dollar books are out in their new home!<\/p>\n\n\n

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

There are still a few action figures left, but that\u2019s it, since we won\u2019t be carrying action figures anymore. We will still carry statues, and Ben just did a reorder on those to fill the case back up!<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Ben is also co-hosting with Lenora at the Midnight Rental Secret Screening at the Grog Shop on Wednesday January 10th! Doors at 7 for an hour of vintage trailers and commercials, then the secret film starts at 8pm. Lenora finally got me with one I hadn\u2019t seen last month with Santa\u2019s Slay starring Goldberg! Can she do it again? Can I resist the urge to buy more stuff from her merch table? (Spoiler alert, probably not.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of Marvel\u2019s Giant-Size one-shots releasing through the first half of the year, writer Cody Ziglar and artist Iban Coello team-up Miles Morales and Venom in Giant-Size Spider-Man! Or is it Venom versus Spider-Man? While doing some detective work with Misty Knight, Miles runs into Venom, who also wants to stop Black Obsidian from using Rabble\u2019s weapons. Setting up some things to come in Gang War and Miles Morales: Spider-Man, and leading into legacy #300! Plus, this issue features a reprint of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #22 with the conclusion of Miles\u2019 first battle with Ultimate Venom from Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli.<\/p>\n\n\n

And after that, here\u2019s the new Ultimate Spider-Man! The world needs a hero after the events of Ultimate Invasion, and Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto\u2019s debut title of the new line of Ultimate Comics gives us a redefined Spider-Man! Peter Parker was supposed to be bitten by a radioactive spider twenty years ago, but The Maker prevented the event from happening. Peter married Mary Jane, had two kids, and a job at the Bugle, but he has always felt like he needed something else in his life. Now an opportunity has been given to him to change who he is, and to become the hero he was always meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Aaron! John Timms! Superman! Bizarro! Action Comics #1061 is Jason Aaron\u2019s first-time writing Superman, and Aaron is presenting a new vision of Superman\u2019s bizarrest foe. Bizarro doesn\u2019t know why he\u2019s on the planet of sorcerers, Zerox. He doesn\u2019t remember why \u201cHe am so very happy!\u201d But something is about to change, and Bizarro is about to become the most dangerous version of himself that Superman and the world has ever seen. And things in Metropolis are about to become pretty bizarre because of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRANSFORMERS #4! Ben and I read the pdf preview of issue #4 immediately after reading issue #3 last month, because we could! And we could not wait! Now you can all read it! It\u2019s an Autobot and Decepticon showdown at the place \u201cwhere they fix the squishy ones,\u201d with casualties on all sides, and Optimus Prime has to make some difficult decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n

The only thing that could make this comic better, would be this.<\/p>\n\n\n
