It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like only 10 days ’til Christmas  –  Wednesday, December 14th, 2022

Not quite as many comics as last week,  but pretty big. Batgirls, Bat Inc, Bat & Scooby, Bat & Spawn #1, I Am Bat, Danger Street,  Dark Crisis, HQ, Son of Kal-El, Wildcats, Wonder Woman – that’s 11 titles but 50 covers, 1/3 with Spawn, but still! Marvel has 14 titles, but only 40 covers, so… And the others guys have 87 covers over 35 titles. I’m noticing a trend. Just one more shopping weekend – 10 days.

And now it’s Thursday. See the list.

Tonight, we are getting the storm that passed through California over the weekend. It’s still wet, and above freezing so far, but tomorrow could be ugly.

We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. You are only in our enclosed space for minutes, but Bob is there all day. We still need to be careful, people. I am going to talk to the one person reading this. We have put a TON of effort into clearing out the aisles and getting things in order, especially the books and Pops. Please tell Bob you appreciate how the store looks and feels. And help us keep them in order.

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.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the 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.
