HALLOWEEN TIME

Its that time of year again when the ghosts and goblins and more than a few dead celebrities will be banging on your door, looking for treats.

Well you know what I always say,

"Rot their brains, not their teeth"


This year, give the little ghouls a real treat and stick a comic book in their pumpkin. A comic book will last them a lot longer than candy or chips, and is a lot less messy to save or share. And unlike peanuts or milk chocolate, very few kids are actually allergic to printed words and colourful pictures.
Comics & More has a great deal with a pack of 10 comics for only $2.00. At 20cents a piece its cheaper than almost any sugary treat you could buy.

Shop early to get the best selection, I know from past experience, these packs sell fast. And don't underestimate how many you'll need. There's 2 more benefits to the comics, they won't go bad if you get stuck with a few leftovers, and you won't be tempted to eat them yourself.

While you're here, pick up a treat for yourself. There are plenty of horror related titles available in store, Marvel Zombies, for one, would make a great read to pass the time between visitors.


And don't forget that the WALKING DEAD t.v. series premieres on Halloween on the AMC network.


If you haven't tried this title(and you must be the only one) ask for a FREE copy of the first issue when you buy your Halloween packs. I've yet to have anyone read the first issue and not want more.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - SEPT. 29th

Well it looks like another small week, with only a few "new" titles from each of the big guys. But I'm not sure that titles like, Valkyrie, and X-Men VS. Vampires, really need any explanation.

Action Comics #893 is the lead-in to Death's (Sandmans big sister)appearance next month.
Franken-Castle may be winding up soon, as future previews show the Punisher looking a lot more alive than he has lately.
Heroic Age 1 Month to Live wraps up, this was a great little mini-series that almost nobody bought, but be sure to look for the paperback soon.
Lady Death finds a new publisher, and starts off with a bargain priced issue. Good idea since its been a while since she was on the shelves.
Futurama #51 is the 2nd of 6 issues to feature a special pull-out poster.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 22nd

Well it looks like the Scarlet Witch finally whispered" No more first issues".
The only Marvel book with a number one on it, is the Thor Rainbow edition, reprinting the first 2 issues of the Thor the Mighty Avenger. I've been making fun of how many Thor comics are coming out lately( I think he shows up on about 30 covers next month), but I'm really enjoying the Mighty Avenger one. It feels a lot like how comics were before all the doom and gloom settled in.
Lots of other good stuff this week...
DC has one book with a #1 on it, G.I.Combat, but its always bothered me when they put a number on a one-shot special. Even if they decide to continue that title they'll just start it with a 1 again anyway.
This year's installment of Bart Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is here. There is always an eclectic group of creators telling horror stories involving all members of the Simpson family.
The little blue guys return with two Smurfs graphic novels being re-released, The Purple Smurf and The Magic Flute.
From the better late than never department, we get Flash #5, and (really late)Nemesis #3.
I'm especially glad to see the Nemesis show up, because it means Millar may be getting close to finishing the story and can get to work on the Kick-Ass 2 sequel people keep bugging me for.

WOW! Lots of stuff for middle of the month.
Not much to metion though as most of the #1's are all one-shots and specials.
Warren Ellis' series RED, is coming to the big screen soon, so of course we get 4 movie specials, one for each of the major characters all on the same day. None are by Ellis though, although artist Cully Hammer gets his name on one.
The JSA Special continues the idea of Kingdom Come being the future of the DC Universe.
Ghost Rider visits the Shadowland, and Wolverines clone, X-23, gets a regular? series.
And of course another Thor comic starts this week. It doesn't help that they all look soooo good, but enoughs enough already.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - SEPT. 8TH

WOW! 5 Batman titles this week(including Batgirl and Red Robin), but at least they are all separate comics with different takes on the same character. Marvel is sending 2 issues of the 3 times a month Amazing Spider-Man together. That's not confusing at all.
Marvel continues to raise their prices by cancelling Dark Wolverine and quickly renaming it Daken Dark Wolverine,with a dollar added to the price.
The Invaders get back together in the present, after events in The Torch and the Invaders/Avengers mini-series'. DC brings the video game heroes, Ratchet and Clank, to the comics page, and gives us the 2nd of the weekly war titles, Weird War Tales.
I had a ton of people looking for Old Man Logan, at the Fanexpo last weekend. Well the paperback is here next week, for those who didn't pay too much for the hardcover already.
