DC Universe #0

Rich Johnston of Lying In The Gutters, had this to say about DC Universe issue #0.

"SPECULATION CORNER ITEM! “DC Universe" #0 is the epilogue to "Countdown To Infinite Crisis" and the cliffhanger into "Final Crisis." Despite being one of the more high profile books, sporting a very low fifty cent cover price and coming a week before Free Comic Book Day, I understand it may have been underordered. Smart stores have got shed loads. Less-than-smart stores may have ordered it like a regular comic book. Where do you shop?
This will be the biggest selling comic of the year."

Thanks Rich, I guess that counts me as one of the smart stores because I have ordered, as you put it "shed loads". Then again I remember when you were pushing New Avengers #31(Elektra the Skrull) as the best investment of its month, and believe me there's plenty of them lying around stinking up comic shops everywhere.

I think its odd that the DC site still has the old promo version of the cover up on their site despite the actual image being revealed a few weeks back. Chances are they may ship this comic with 2 covers. If so, I know which one will sell first.

BUCK BOOKS

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it. People love cheap comics. So I'm going to make the $1.00 comic table at the back of the store a semi-permanent fixture. In fact I"m planning on rotating the comics in the dollar bins on a more regular basis, and always adding new stuff for you bargain hunters. By the first week of May I should have a movie theme going. Basically a box or two of Iron Man and Hulk comics, with Batman titles joining in as his movie gets nearer.
I'm also hoping for nice weather on SATURDAY MAY 3rd, so that we can put tables of cheap comics and Heroclix outside where people can get at them easier.

Sidewalk Sale- SAT. APRIL 5th

Well it looks like Saturday is going to be a great day. 12c with no chance of rain means a nice chance to put the tables out front and sell off some cheap comics. I should be able to get 10-12 boxes of stuff out front around noon. Everything in the boxes will be 50 cents a piece, and a little less for larger purchases.
If the weather holds, I'll probably put the tables out on Sunday as well.

Comics & More on Youtube

I've heard about this song for a while now and finally got a chance to check it out. Its called T-Ode, and its the third track on Abdominals, Escape From The Pigeon Hole. The song is actually a pretty good testament to the diversity of Toronto. As a resident of the East End, his comic store of choice is yours truly and an image of the storefront appears about 2 minutes in.

Check it out.
