NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JUNE 16TH

Pretty average week, considering there are 5 Wednesdays this month.
The first issue of the Black Cat mini arrives, with typical lousy timing, as Marvel screws up the shipping and sends 2 Amazing Spider-Man issues on the same day. You think they would hold one back, considering that means there will be 3 weeks without one this month.
Of course DC does the same sending 2 issues of the Jokers Asylum weekly event together. But these are all 1-shot specials only loosely connected by theme.
The New Avengers restarts this week,the team looks pretty much the same as the "old" New Avengers, with the addition of The Thing.

23 YEARS and COUNTING

As I mentioned last week, I have a little anniversary approaching.
Saturday June 26th is the start of my 23rd anniversary sale.
23 is not a BIG anniversary number. A traditional gift for instance is Silver plate. While I don't have any Silver to give away, I do have some great deals on everything in the store to help separate you kind people from a little of your Silver.
I've set up a few different discounts based on the number 23 for that weekend.
-First of all,
ALL TOYS and GAMES will be 23% off.
This includes ALL items already reduced in price with a RED TAG.
During Free Comic Book day, a lot of customers were checking out our games section and asking what deals if any were available, so I can only assume that a special like this will go over well on a section I don't normally discount.
- Second, is a sale on the paperbacks and hardcovers.
BUY 2 books, get a THIRD for FREE.
Always a popular choice. Pick up some reading material to keep on hand for those odd crappy cloudy days that always hit you by surprise this time of year.
I will be including a huge assortment of RED TAG discounted books that usually fill up my tables at the conventions. As always, the lowest price book of the 3, is the Free one.
-Third-
23 CENT COMICS.
As long as the weather is good, I will be putting tables full of comics outside, for 23 cents a piece.
Remember the date, SATURDAY - SUNDAY JUNE 26TH AND 27TH.
Avoid the mess and hassle of road closures downtown during the G-20 summit, and shop in the East-End that weekend.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- JUNE 9th

Pretty busy week, lots of good stuff.
Hey look, another Avengers #1 title. Avengers Academy is the relaunch of the former Avengers Initiative. It actually looks better than it sounds, and the writer, Christos Gage, is one of my favourites. Young Allies is not exactly an Avengers title,but it features an odd cast of younger heroes, basically this will be Marvels version of the Titans.
Just in time for the Jonah Hex movie, Marvel releases a new Rawhide Kid mini.
Goon fans will be happy to see the Buzzard get his own mini-series.
Tom Strong is back with a new story finally.
Batman hits the #700 issue mark(and without cheating like all those Marvel anniversary issues lately). It's a great jam issue with several short stories featuring Batman from different eras, all by Morrison and various artists like Quitely and Finch.

JUNE EVENTS and ANNIVERSARIES

I know I'm kinda leaving this to the last minute, but better late than never.
I will be attending the Toronto Comicon this weekend, June 5-6. This is the show that's known better as the Fan Appreciation show, due to the fact that it is FREE admission on the Sunday.
Just come into the store and get your FREE PASS and you can wander through the show checking out tons of stuff at hundreds of dealer tables, and it won't cost you a dime to look.
You will probably end up spending more than you'd like, seeing all the great deals available, my own tables will be packed with hardcovers and paperbacks up to 50% off the US cover prices.

You'll want to save some money though, because later in June, is the
COMICS & MORE 23rd Anniversary sale.
Mark this date on your calendar....SATURDAY-SUNDAY JUNE 26-27
Hard to believe its been 23 years, I've spent nearly half my life running a comic book store.
23 isn't really one of the BIG anniversary numbers, but it still makes us one of the oldest comic shops in Toronto, heck I doubt if there's more than a handful of comic shops in the world that old. You can bet I will make sure that there are some great deals and fantastic prices throughout the store on those 2 days.
Full details of the sale will be posted here soon, and I will be promoting the sale at my booth at the ComicCon.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JUNE 2ND

YES, I SAID WEDNESDAY JUNE 2ND.
There seemed to be some confusion this week that the books might be a day late due to the holiday Monday. Even more people seem to think they will be late next week due to the American holiday.
NEW COMICS ARE ON THE SHELVES ON WEDNESDAY IN CANADA.

Holidays, whether U.S. or Canadian have no effect for the foreseeable future. In fact we should be reading our comics a day earlier than the Americans a total of 5 times between now and Christmas.
That said, here's what you'll see when you come in next WEDNESDAY JUNE 2nd.

There are a lot of "new" titles to mention .
Marvel continues their Avengers launches with, Avengers Prime, this week. This one's a 5 issue mini focusing on the big 3. They've also got first issues for some other Avengers,as Hawkeye and Mockingbird team-up, and we get an "old school" Hercules by Bob Layton, set in the future.(Think Hercules Prince of Power from a decade or 2 back) By the way, Avengers Spotlight isn't a comic per se, but one of those fan-feature type things.
Heralds #1 sounds like the best of the "girl comics" so far, as the women of the Marvel Universe gather in cosmic battle. The Thanos comic from this week was just a one-shot setting up the mini-series that starts next week. (I know, confusing people is the best way to keep readers).
The Punisher Franken-castle #1, reprints the origin of Franks new look.
Meanwhile, DC gives us the Red Hood mini, as we get to see Jason Todd's return and path to evil.
Jokers Asylum:Riddler is the first of a set of one-shots featuring the Joker's version of other Bat-villains origins.
No Buffy this week, but we get a Serenity one-shot to keep the Whedon fans happy.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- MAY 26TH


A strangely quite week for the end of the month. DC ships the Mighty Crusaders special before the mini-series of the same name starts up. At least on a slower week this title might get a 2nd look. DC also ships the Wednesday Comics hrdcvr. This series was a huge hit last summer, I'm surprised that we didn't see another this year. Maybe they're waiting to see how sales of the collection go.
Marvel starts another Avengers title with the Secret Avengers. I'm looking forward to this one despite the odd cast of characters, Brubaker has not failed to entertain me yet. And, Thanos is back, and you can bet major inter-galactic war is not far behind. Also, more girl comics, with a Dazzler one-shot and Emma Frost's origin. Thunderbolts starts its new Heroic Age direction, with Luke Cage using the team to try and reform super baddies.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - MAY 19th

Well, the Dark age of the Avengers came to a close this week, so now the new Heroic Age can begin. But why does it have to begin all at once?
Avengers #1 really needs no explanation, but most of the others do. Age of Heroes seems to be an anthology of short stories by Busiek, dealing with the heroes returning to their "legal" vigilante status. Atlas #1 is the relaunch of the great Agents of Atlas title, and Marvel is hoping restarting it now will pull in more readers. Avengers Assemble is a handbook, one-shot issue. Enter the Heroic Age is another one-shot featuring 5 short intro stories leading into new on-going titles.
Marvel also has some more "girl" comics, as Pepper Potts gets a whole issue to herself in Rescue #1, and Galacta, the daughter of the planet eater gets her own book too.
Meanwhile DC starts off a few great titles too with Zatanna #1, and the newest version of the Legion of Superheroes. Also, DC Legacies looks really good as we witness the history of the DC universe through the origins of its heroes, starting with the mystery men of the '40's.
