Can We Relax and Dry Off a Little Yet? –  Wednesday, January 18th, 2023

I even saw a report of flooding in Livermore on my Bay-Area-Algorithm-Suggested Youtube list. My heart goes out. Now I have to go shovel snow – a small price to pay.

Batman is always a presence, and this week we add Nightwing 100 and Lazarus Planet to the mix. I may have been duped into forwarding fake news, as the 50 -week onslaught of Disneyfied mixed-up Marvel covers lasted only 1 week. So far. Perhaps they just missed week 2 and will be back on track, OR someone already had better thoughts on how to release them with a little more consistency. We’ll see. I choose to mention there are 3 Star Wars and one Wasp #1. Tha’s all.

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, millennium, 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.
