JUST A QUICK ONE WHILE SHE’S AWAY- Greetings from beautiful Tijuana! I only have a few minutes before the guards come back, and when they realize I lied about…well, everything…they’ll probably snap my wrists in an old vice. I know there isn’t enough time to get the newsletter out and send for help, but it’s important to me that everyone knows about the…
BIG SALE! I had a dream last night where an eagle landed on my windowsill. I let it into my room and it magically transformed into a beautiful woman who told me that I would find the road to eternal peace when I was ready in my heart to face the challenges that lay along its way. Right then I knew that I had to arrange for ALL ESSENTIALS, DC SHOWCASES, AND ANY OTHER PHONE BOOK SIZED PAPERBACK REPRINT BOOK TO BE 25% OFF NOW THROUGH 9/16/07. That’s right: Superman, Spider-man, Savage Dragon-hundreds of pages at a time for 25% off. Buy a bunch and build a fort! Buy enough for two forts and make a friend!
DEF DEALER- You know how sometimes your room feels kind of weird and you wish you weren’t there, and you just know that if you had a nice canvas-textured print of a really muscle-y guy stabbing a triceratops with a broadsword you would finally feel at peace and be more comfortable raising your hand to participate in classroom discussions? WELL DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! On sale now we have these sweet FRAZETTA POSTERS. $12.99 A POP AND SEVERAL DESIGNS TO CHOOSE FROM. Slap one of these suckers on your wall and you might as well be saying “I don’t care if my aunt never really ‘gets’ me. I’m here for the party.” And saying that feels goooooood.
PICKS:
DAREDEVIL #100-It’s a benchmark issue for one of the best crime/superhero books currently on the stands. This issue is set to feature contributions from some of the greatest Daredevil artists of all time and follows up on the shocking, and I do mean shocking ending of last issue. If you like costumed adventure of hard-edged noir, this book will cook your beans.
JLA WEDDING SPECIAL #1-The cynic in me says “wake me for the wedding night” but the wide eyed believer that hides behind him whispers, “It doesn’t matter that you’ve been hurt before. Every day is a new opportunity to discover that love will conquer all. We should be happy for Green Arrow and Black Canary, and besides, it’s written by Dwayne Mcduffie and leads directly into his upcoming run on Justice League of America.” That voice loves loves loves Dwayne Mcduffie.
PARADE (WITH FIREWORKS)- The first issue of an all new miniseries detailing the experiences of an Italian family as they cope with the rise of fascism. History!
THE GROO 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL-Groo has been there for me since the beginning, through good times and bad. He stood by me as we watched the Berlin wall fall, he offered me a shoulder to cry on when Heather left. I’m just glad that I’ll finally have a chance to pay him back.
POTTERS FIELD 1- New from Mark Waid and BOOM! Studios! A mysterious detective tackles the cases that everyone else has given up on. What a nice boy.

Now I have to hide this laptop before it’s discovered and they take away my lamp. If you see me around the store that means I’ve done inhuman things to escape so don’t ask me about them because I could snap. AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
