NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- APRIL 6th

A lot of good stuff to start off the month.
The actual first issue of Fear Itself ships, along with the first Home Front issue. The Homefront comic is like the Frontline stories for the last few summer event stories,should be good, but a lot more talking and less action than the main title.
Deadpool Family is a one-shot that sounds a lot like the Deadpool Corps stuff.
Hercules came back to life in the Chaos War, and gets a shot at a new title. I'm surprised they didn't start it with a point one issue, with all the catching up some people will have to do to read this. The paperback ships today too, so that could help.
First Wave Special, could be the last we see of this universe, although Doc Savage and the Spirit seem to be continuing in their solo books.
Marvel gives us another "lost" tale with Thunderbolts from the vault.
Yesterday's Tomorrows, is an amazing collection of sketches and strips by British artist Rian Hughes. Included are some rare stories by Grant Morrison, from 2000 A.D.

League of Gentlemen 1969

I'm not sure just what people are looking at when they come in and ask for this book.

But as the publisher TopShelf has on their webpage, the book is due out in JULY.

http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-vol-iii-century-2/635

I'll say it again people, STOP getting your information about comics from Amazon.

Amazon will not support your kids little league team, they don't contribute to your school or charities, they won't buy candy from your daughters Girl Scout troop.

EVERY penny you send them only contributes to the loss of local businesses.

AND THEY DON"T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT COMICS!!!

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - MARCH 30th

There were 5 Wednesdays this month, so things are a little better balanced.
Age of X Universe is the first of 2 specials set in the Age of X story currently running in Legacy and New Mutants.(The first X-Men story I've enjoyed in a long time)
Avataar continues its line of blood and gore with the well known master of depravity, Caligula.
Whedon fans won't have a Buffy issue for a while yet, so they shouldn't miss the Dollhouse special.
Jimmy Olsen #1 is a special, wrapping up the back-up story from Action Comics.
The monster book of the week though, is Godzilla Kingdom Of Monsters #1,
and if you need an explanation for that one, then I don't want to know you.

Spider-Man, You're Hired, is a print version of some on-line stuff, + some Spider-Girl and PowerMan filler.

The "how late can they get" department has 2 contenders this week,

as Ultimate Comics X #4, faces off against Kick-Ass 2 #2.

AND... the winner is...

Ultimate Comics X #4, shipping just under 7 months late.

WEDNESDAY's COMICS

The comics are here, where are the customers?
Considering how many people are probably calling in sick today, I figured the store would be busier.


A couple of brave souls have ventured in, and have asked the same question, "what do you think of the new F.F.?"
An odd question that I hadn't even considered, since I don't think of it as a "new" comic. Basically trying to read this "first" issue, without following the series previously would leave someone with a lot of questions. And its not like Spider-Man has never shown up in a Fantastic Four comic before. Still, it is a great read and you'll want to continue, I just can't see it being a jumping on point or anything. By the way, the other comic with the big "F" on the chest is Fables, and not a variant for F.F.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- MARCH23RD

Well it looks like the publishers are determined to ship everything in pairs or more this week.
2 Green Lanterns, 2 Deadpools, 2 .1 issues, 2 Justice League, and a bunch of Batman , X-Men. AND Captain America. Lets hope people don't forget to check out the relaunch of Fantastic Four this week. Remember, they are all dressed in white now.

WEDNESDAY's COMICS

Hey, I just realized I forgot to show a picture of the comic rack last week. Oh well, here's this weeks shot. I got some help taking this shot from my littlest helper, Veronica, who wasn't really thrilled about working during March Break.

Marvel continues to amaze me with their stellar sales techniques. It's bad enough to put the title of the comic so low on the cover that you can't see it on a rack, but to do it for a comic that features the NEW costume of the main character, ....well that just ain't smart people.
There are a lot new titles I wish I had the time to read before this morning, but the important one was Fear Itself, or the prologue at least. From the looks of it, basically Captain Americas greatest enemy took control of an Asgardian weapon back in the '40's and his daughter , Sin, has finally figured out something to do with it. I can't help but get the feeling that this crossover event was developed by committee, as a way to tie together the 2 characters with movies coming out in a few months, or maybe I'm being too suspicious.

MARCH BREAK SALE

If the weather next week is anything like this week, then there are going to be a lot of parents tearing their hair out with kids stuck in the house during March break.

In an effort to help, I will be having a Sale on toys and games next week,
from THURSDAY through SATURDAY.

All kid stuff, toys, games and even all-ages comics, will be at least 15% off. Other items will be RED TAG marked at special CLEARANCE prices.

ALSO, I will be doing a special offer on older HEROCLIX. Any 4-piece packs will be priced at $5.00 each and with every 3 packs you buy, you'll get a special rare or variant figure.
All other rare and super-rare figures in the glass counter will be 50% off.

For the older kids and parents, all dollar comics on the shelves will be specially
priced at 50 cents each when you buy 10 or more.
