NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY APRIL 10th

With Damian gone, the Batman and Robin title turns into a sort of Batman team-up book as he spends an issue with each of his old partners,maybe giving him a chance to patch things up between them.
Not getting enough Batman? I don't see how that's possible, but this week starts the print version of Lil Gotham. Basically its smaller, cuter versions, of the Bat characters and their villains. Think Marvel Super-Hero Squad.
Kirkmans other comic, Invincible, spins off a 2nd title as Invincible Universe begins. Looks like a team book featuring all the other super characters from the main title(most of whom pretty much hate him right now).
Age of Ultron continues at a frantic pace(nearly weekly) and continues to confuse the best of us with the oddly numbered crossover issues. This week we get Avengers Assemble #14AU, and Ultron #1AU which is not just a reprint of the first issue but actually a one-shot about Ultrons son, the character from the Runaways.

FCBD

It may feel like winter again today, but the weather really came through for us on the weekend.
The sale went great, with, at times, dozens of people pushing for room at  the 50 cent boxes, and I sold a ton of great hardcovers at a ridiculous low price.
Hopefully this is just a preview of what to expect next month on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY.
As usual, we will be packing our FCBD offerings in age appropriate packs, with as many FREE extras as we can cram in them.
Treats this year include the new Sesame Street comic(way past time for this).
An Archie digest(perfect format for kids to carry in their hand).
Grimm , TMNT animated, and Walking Dead, ALL familiar to anyone with a T.V. set.
And of course a Star Wars comic, cause, you know...MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU.

EASTER SALE

Well the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and it finally feels like spring is here.
And that means its time for a SIDEWALK SALE.
Yes the store is closed Friday, Sunday and Monday for the Easter holiday, but Saturday is ripe for a sale.
I'll have tables out front full of Marvel hardcovers priced at $5.00 each and boxes full of comics for 50 cents a piece. I should have a few boxes of assorted Manga to clear out at a buck each as well.
(Of course if you wake up in the morning and its pouring rain or snowing....just ignore this post).
This is kind of a trial for the Free Comic Day event coming up on MAY 4th. If you cant make it by tomorrow, make sure to mark MAY 4th on your calendar.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY APRIL 3RD

Nice batch of stuff to start of the new month.

Action Comics begins its new post-Morrison story. Diggle is a fine writer, but apparently didn't want to stick around , so this one could be a tough sale for the next few months.

Detective Comics celebrates a milestone anniversary with a giant sized special featuring a story called the 900.

Marvel launches a Thanos mini-series, hoping that his appearance at the end of The Avengers movie will bring in curious on-lookers as well as sell to fans of the original cosmic destroyer.

Dark Horse delivers a couple new Buck Books, as they tempt fans with cheap reprints of a couple of their more popular recent comics. Massive #1 ships this week, followed by Mind Mgnt next week.

SERVER TROUBLE

CANACA SUCKS!

As in now apparent, my site is down until the server figures out how to run a business with a handful of incompetent employees.

Regular pull customers who use the on-line store will need to cut and paste from the shipping list posted below, and send it to

comicsnmore@hotmail.ca

sorry for the confusion

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- MARCH 27TH

A new BPRD spin-off, Vampire, starts.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 arrives as the series starts for real.
A great week for Sci-Fi as the new Image title, East of West, gives us Hickmans apocalyptic Western. DC delivers too, with Time Warp. Featuring some great short stories from DCs talent pool and beyond
Some Age of Ultron crossovers arrive with issue #3. Don't get Superior Spider-Man #6 AU confused with regular Superior Spider-Man #6 that came this week.
Same with Fantastic Four #5 AU. These are new Age of Ultron stories set in the Age of Ultron universe, only Marvel has put the same name and number as regular comics on them to confuse the shit out of customers and make it next to impossible for retailers to accurately order them.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY MARCH 20th

Hellblazer may be gone, but Constantine debuts. With Jeff Lemire on board writing, it should be good(although lots less sex and nudity than its Vertigo version).
Action #18 is a big extra-sized send-off to Morrisons run. Could be a lead-in to Multiversity the big crossover he had planned a while ago.

2 Justice League books on the same week again(3 if you count Vibe), I really wish DC would spread them out a little.

Simpson Comics hits issue #200 this week. Strange to see such a high anniversary number with Marvel and DC renumbering everything every year now.
