Andrea’s New Year New Picks for 01.03.2024

Happy New Year Comic Shop Friends! I hope everyone’s New Year resolution is to read more comics! We’re always happy to give you recommendations, and if you see that “100% unanimous staff pick” card on a book, you know it’s a winner. Hey, we have issues #1-4 of one of my favorite series in now! Some of my favorites from 2023: Tom King’s Wonder Woman, Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers, Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s Incredible Hulk, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, Nights (Winner of the most boring title for the most interesting, weird story with well-written characters.), Poison Ivy, the western horror Canary, Canadian horror Dwellings, Guardians of the Galaxy, original slasher Harrower, video nasty inspired The Nasty, Klik Klik Boom (the trade paperback is out this week!), The Sacrificers, and Somna. The book I’m most looking forward to in 2024 is The Goon! One of my all-time favorite comics is returning for its 25th Anniversary in March! (Don’t worry, you’ll hear more about it when it’s out.) Watch this space for new dollar stock racks! Our Holiday sale has been...

Andrea’s Year-End Picks for 12.27.2023

Welcome Comic Shop Friends to the last email of the year! It’s a tiny baby email, because there’s not much this week that is brand new, and we’ve been trucking through all our Monday and Tuesday tasks in one day, so that we’re ready for you on Wednesday! First, some shop news: If you didn’t know… Stop in with your Christmas gift certificates and pick up something fun! And a reminder from us, and Cap, to pick up your file! There are many reasons this helps us out, so please pick up whatever is in your file before the end of the year. We hate to have to close files and put books back out, and we always encourage you to call or email the shop if you’re having any issues, so we can work with you. You probably have some great books to read, so grab them! As we freshen up our back issue boxes we’ll have some used long boxes to give away. See if we have any out when you stop in!

Andrea’s Pre-Christmas Picks for 12.20.2023

Merry Christmas, Comic Shop Friends! We had a great time at our Holiday party, thanks to all of you who made it out! And a huge thank you to everyone who donated to the raffle! Our total was $6296, which creates 18,888 meals! Another huge thanks to everyone who submitted a cover, we couldn’t do it without your help! We had a record number of covers to raffle off, 156, so keep that in mind for next year so we can top that, and beat this year’s donation amount for the Cleveland Food Bank. This is also a good time to remind you that the Cleveland Food Bank needs donations all year long, so if you are in a position to do so, send some money their way throughout the year. Some photos from the night: John Shearer is bummed he didn’t win the Short Box King cover I did, but John’s daughter won it, so there may be some deals in play to get it into the hands of SBK. Especially since John Shearer won the original painting of...
