Well, I Wasn’t Wrong. Tanks are rolling, Prices are Rising – Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022

People are dying. Tyranny is on the move. Fox News is still shilling Putin’s propaganda, a modern-day Tokyo Rose. Again, where is Superman when you need him? Or maybe Phoenix would be better. Just vaporize the weapons. Or lift them up and drop them on the Kremlin. On the plus side, some Republican lawmakers seem to have moved a tiny bit back toward reason and responsibility. And Putin’s goal of weakening and dividing the West has backfired. The rest of us are more united than ever. Not willing to militarily engage, mind you. That’s why we need a super-hero.

We got more comics and more Pops. Marvel books are in GREAT shape and DC’s are almost there. We got a few-hundred-drops -in- the-bucket re-stock of manga, and I think we have ALL the Junji Ito hardbacks in stock now. Please, help us out and put it back where you found it. Pull out 2, look at one, and put it back next to the other one if you don’t buy it. It’s SO simple. Same with the Pops. Pick it up and put it back IN THE SAME PLACE. Why do they move it sideways? Why do they do that for 25 pops in a row? Good thing no one ever reads this.

If you are a regular weekly new comic buyer, you will find we tweaked the arrangement on the shelves again. All the Marvels are still on the left wall, as they have been for months now, but the DCs are all together on the right, and then the Not Marvels and Not DCs start on the second comic shelf and continue down the wall. There was a good reason at the time, and Bob says he likes it, so it will probably stay that way, unless we get a bunch of complaints.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 8 across. So it’s a somewhat random sample. I’ll keep searching. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.

We are enforcing a Mask Rule. 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 Normally 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. 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.
