We could just go on and sing the praises of some of the best stories on the market right now. (Yes, Absolute Carnage Immortal Hulk is out this week by Al Ewing. Yes, Batman and Catwoman head back to Gotham to retake the city in Batman #80. And yes, House of X #6 is this week as well.) But instead, let’s enjoy then season and talk about some Halloween related titles coming out this week! I’m sensing a theme here… Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, October 2nd, 2019!  DCeased #5 (of 6) continues Tom Taylor’s DCU zombie story. This book has had some great horror homage covers and has been a fun read all around. Taylor did some great work universe building early on with the Injustice books.  Marvel’s following suit with a weekly five-issue mini-series called “Contagion”, which obviously has some zombie elements to it.  Those Mole People always looked like they had something.  It’s not necessarily horror per se, but Ghost Rider’s new ongoing features the reunion of Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch.  With...

This is a huge week, but by far the biggest stand out is the epic Marvel Comics #1000! One huge $9.99 perfect bound book with an incredible list of creators! I had a chance to read this book last month and I’m a big fan. Every page is a quick vignette representing a different year in Marvel’s history, starting with the first panel of Marvel Comics #1. The core backstory was written by Al Ewing of Immortal Hulk. It’s not going to be for everyone but I really enjoyed the format and the history involved.  Here’s Marvel’s promo video, as this book made a big splash at D23 last week.  We have a lot of covers coming in so come in early on Wednesday to pick yours out! Here’s a gallery of covers as they’re all really fun to look at! Absolute Carnage continues with it’s second issue by Donny Cates. Such a great modern tribute to the 90’s. We have enough books to fill pre orders as well as some copies hitting the table! We also finally have pre-orders...

This has been a great end to the summer, with both Absolute Carnage and Jonathan Hickman’s X-Titles both being huge winners both in content and sales.  Carnage!! We sold out of Absolute Carnage last week, and we ordered A LOT. The book is also sold out nationally but I have 50 more first prints coming in at cover price this week! This was a $7.99 book and was worth every penny. It’s a classic Spider-Man – Venom – Carnage story that reads like a modernized 90’s story. Donny Cates man. Whew.  We can’t vouch for how any of the crossovers will be but we highly recommend having any that you are interested in held as demand will be high and orders were low, so many titles may not even hit the table as they are already sold out at the distributor level.  So, here’s the checklist again to print out, fill in and turn into the shop.  This week is Absolute Carnage Scream #1 and the Absolute Carnage Separation Anxiety One Shot, and we only have a few of each...
