Not sure what the big deal was over AVX #11, you'd think people didn't know how many times Xavier has died and come back. Maybe reading Avengers #30 this week will lend more insight.
The DC #0's have been great so far, I'm kinda looking forward to Justice League #0, the all Shazam issue. Wonder Woman #0 should be a great read too. Sword of Sorcery #0 brings Amethyst back to the DC Universe, and DC Presents #0 gives us a last(first) look at some of the DC 52 that have already been canceled, such as Hawk & Dove and O.M.A.C. Could be an important comic if it gives us any more info on WHO is really controlling OMAC now.
NOT part of the DC 52, Ghost #0 brings back a classic Dark Horse character. Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Noto should deliver, on this one.
Finally getting the Justice League Flash figure this week. These have been selling out fast, and Flash has been a really popular request for some reason.

BIG book sale
When I say BIG book, of course I'm talking about some REALLY big books.
In my continuing effort to find the floor in the basement here at the store, I have brought some more stuff up for the front sale table.
This time around it's DC Showcases and Archives. AT 50% off U.S cover.
That's less than $10.00 a piece for the Showcases and $25.00 for the Archives.
The DC Showcase are those huge 500+ page B&W reprints of classic 60's and 70's stories. ( At $10.00 each, that's less than 2 cents a page!!)
And the Archives are similar, only more expensive cause of the deluxe colour hardcover format.
Anyway, I'm counting on all you regular bargain hunters to get in here and help me move some of the extras volumes that are taking up way too much space.
There's a nice selection of most superhero titles and quite a few of the War, Adventure,and Mystery type too. ( quite a few of these feature brilliant art by the late Joe Kubert)

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 12th
And Zero month continues. I must say I was pleasantly surprised how brisk the sales were on the first weeks batch, with a couple selling through before Wednesday night. With this week including several Batman titles, shopping early might be wise. Demon Knights will be an interesting read after the events shown in this weeks Stormwatch. And Resurrection Man comes full circle as it ends with #0 as Mitch learns his origin at last.
Marvel is promising media coverage on Avengers VS. X-Men #11, I'm not sure what the BIG news will be...maybe someone will die, IF Marvel actually has the guts to kill one of their characters. Marvel seems sure it will be attention grabbing though, as they are shipping every comic they can with Avengers and or X-Men in the title the same day. (11 books at my count)
The Judas Coin hrdcvr is a new original story written and drawn by Simonson, tracing the impact of one of the 30 pieces of silver on the DC Universe. Timed nicely to coincide with launch of the Phantom Stranger comic, although I doubt this story is connected in any way to the New 52 continuity of Batman.

And the winners are...
Well a couple of my customers have their Halloween cut out for them, as they have just won a Court of Owls mask.
The 2 winners drawn at random after closing last night are:
Jason Chorney
and
Shawn Mclaren
If they dont show up in the next 10 minutes, I'll give the prizes to someone else...
Just kidding.
If they aren't regular readers of this blog, I'll contact them personally and let them know to come in and pick up the masks.
Thanks to everyone who entered, and for helping me sell through my copies of Batman Inc. #3, despite holding them back for the extra month.
In the continuing effort to clean out the basement here at the store, I am having a sale on some used board games. Any games on the front sale table with a RED tag are priced to go , as low as $5-10. Most are just slightly used as trial or demo games here at the store. All pieces and rules should be in the boxes, but all of them are being sold AS IS, so check them out before you leave.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 5th
ZERO month is here. But I prefer to think of it as Origin month.
DC ships the first batch of #0 issues as they give late-comers to the NEW 52 a fresh place to start, and answer some questions for those of us who've been reading since the #1's. Green Lantern #0 is the introduction of the newest Green Lantern, who seems to feel the need to cover his face.
Archie Comics superheroes get a new start as the Crusaders on-line comics come to print.

ON THE SHELVES WEDNESDAY
Well, DC really packed a lot in this weeks shipment. The only problem is what to read first.
Check below for some thoughts on what I've had a chance to read so far.
May contain some spoilery type info.

NO CON WEEKEND
Well as more than a few people have noticed already, Comics & More is not in it's usual spot at FanExpo this weekend. In Fact I'm not there at all!
This is the first year since the show began that I haven't had a booth at the show, and I find it refreshing. Sure I'll notice a dip in the old bank balance between now and Christmas, but staying in the store this weekend is already paying off in different ways.
I'm taking the time to clean up some of the mess in the basement, and sell off a pile of overstock for 25 cents each outside on this beautiful sidewalk shopping day.
Rooting through the basement I've run across some real finds, that will get my wall looking full again.
Valiant comics have been selling like crazy since it's relaunch a few months ago... so the run of original Valiants I'm bringing up should move quick(and probably piss off anyone at the show paying huge sums of cash for them right now)
Speaking of huge sales..I can bet one of the sentences driving every dealer nuts right now is" Do you have any old Walking Deads"? I know cause I hear it at the store almost every day.
Well I don't have a great run or anything, but I have brought up some amazing copies from #9 through #12. These are all original near mint never read copies that have been sitting in storage way too long.
My customers know I always put a more than fair price on wallstock so these won't last long. So get to the store as soon as you can to snap them up. And it won't cost you $45.00 to get in the store.
