A Temporary Victory Against the Darkness – And Comics! – Wednesday, September 15th, 2021

Thanks for voting the right way, California. Call your friends in  Virginia.  

Fantastic Four #35 is big and expensive and anniversarial – 60 years this month. I started with #45.  Extreme Carnage results in Agony, unsurprisingly. Boushh gets their own Star Wars comic, and Batman gets his own comic! Called “I Am Batman”. Finally, we get to hear from the Big Guy. Bettie Page, Red Sonja, and Vampi represent. There is a Red Room, a Maw, a Warhammer, and Thanos Rises. 

We are enforcing a Mask Mandate.  We are concerned and frankly afraid of the Desantis Variant’s effectiveness and apparent success in younger people and children. So, please, take one for team America and get a vaccine.

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.

Had to find a new source for images this week, with no warning. (Still don’t have any for DC Comics.) Thanks to Time Warp 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.
