Comics Celebrate Pride of Preference – Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021

It’s the second most covers I’ve had to make room for, after last week,  but I think it’s a little less diverse – there aren’t 4 titles with a total of 30 covers plus all the rest, but there may be 30 titles with 3 covers or more! People keep buying them. It’s like Coke and Pepsi battling it out for shelf space with new flavors.

Pride Month continues with Marvel Voices Pride #1 and lots of rainbows showing on other Marvels. Batman Reptilian #1 brings DC into line with Marvel in featuring another branch from the tree of life. Heroes that have been Reborn now Return (not to be confused, certainly, with Heroes Reborn: the Return from the late 90’s – Marvel: The House of Ideas…..Reborn). Will someone please think of the children? Because Something is Killing the Children is destined for a 2022 TV adaptation streaming somewhere. No inside info – just sayin’.

BTW, at this writing, not all of the Funko Pops shown are in-house, but the ones shown will be here eventually. I did put out 15 new ones yesterday, including Dirty Dancing, Marvel Infinity Warps, Seinfeld Apartment with Kramer, and various others.

Did I mention Free Comic Book Day is scheduled for August 14th this year? I did. And it is.

No change in policy yet — Please wear a mask!

Wednesday is STILL New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. We can’t clear the new rack to just have 10 DC’s  surrounded by empty space.  We do it once, Wednesday morning. We encourage everyone to be careful, make your trip to our store quick and efficient, and try to come in to shop in smaller groups, and reduce your own exposure to ALL public places indoors, including ours. Bob is open, bring your mask, keep your distance, and help keep Bob healthy. If you like, you can browse the list and make an order to [email protected] for a quicker pick up. It might also help to put in a time window when you would be in the neighborhood, to give Bob a chance to get them together, and include a phone number for good measure.

Watch this space and our Facebook page for latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millenium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below. If you want to know about the next sale or store event, or whether or not WE ARE EVEN OPEN click here. Sign in here to get an email reminder for ALL sales and other events. Also, you can go to     fb.fantasybooksandgames.com and you’ll be taken to our Facebook page. We also use our in-store 5-Star Rewards system to text similar announcements to your phone.

Thanks to Comics on the Green for this week’s images, which include many of the comics and a few of the books and other items we received today, and may have pics of things we didn’t and/or won’t get. Use the list, and maybe the pictures.
