Black Friday and Local Comic Shop Day Updates
We’ve got a lot to cover this week so we’ve only got one featured book, Dark Knight III The Master Race #1!
This eight issue mini series is written by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello, with art by Andy Kubert. There’s even a mini insert Atom comic written by Miller and Azzarello with art by Miller and Klaus Janson. There’s a great deal of controversy around who wrote what, mostly because Miller is as crazy as Alan Moore. One thing is for certain though, we’ll all be tuned in to see what happens one way or another. We’re even going to let the 1:10 Jill Thompson Variants go for cover price.
This book is coming out Wednesday, November 25th, but we’ll have a special variant cover available on Saturday for Local Comic Shop Day. (see below!)
