The Variance of Variants is High – Wednesday, July 14th, 2021

Not as many comics as last week,  but a ton of variants. I guess the big one for the day is Sinister War in the Spider-Man sub-universe. I’ve started working (painting) with my brother again, so I don’t have a lot of time and it’s more important to crank this out on Facebook than my editorial outlook. For the zero people that depend on this to get by, I am sorry, But I am done.

Did I mention Free Comic Book Day is scheduled for August 14th this year? I did. And it is. It’s getting close. I haven’t seen any of the 2021 comics come in yet, but Bob did just buy a dozen of last year’s, which I’m assuming will be on the tables this year, so the selection should be extra large. So don’t read our store bags for this year, and get ready for August. Face masks are “recommended”, and welcomed. They are not required. We will leave the sign up on the door, but if you forget, Bob won’t kick you out. For now. We’ll watch the real news and adjust as needed.

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. 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.
