What Happened? This Crazy Year is Already Half Gone! – Wednesday, July 13th, 2022

What Happened? This Crazy Year is Already Half Gone! – Wednesday, July 13th, 2022

We have a couple of DC incentive variants and Batman #125 that came in a week late, a pretty cool clear acetate overlay with a million bats swarming into the shape of … I’ll let it be a surprise.  Other Bat-‘s include -girls, -woman, Urban Legend, Future State Gotham, Vampires, and I Am…, and there are few other DC characters. Marvel’s #1 of the week is Daredevil, with one cover by JRJR and JRSR – nice to see senior John Romita, one of my favorites as a kid, still working at 92! And there is another Fortnite X bagged secret game code edition. Oh, yeah, Star Wars Mandalorian #1 is here. If you collect all things Godzilla, you’ll want to scroll down and check out the giant Gallery vinyl “statue”, or figure, about a foot tall, and wider than it is tall.

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 Normally 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.
