Smoke on the Water. And the Corn Fields. And the Skyscrapers. And the… – Wednesday, June 7th, 2023

You know, one of the reasons I started thinking about leaving California was smoke pollution. Now Mpls (and half the country) have the worst air quality in years. Thanks, Canada.

Flash hits #800, under the new Comics Counting Authority that everyone seems to have adopted.  Loki starts a new mini, Deadpool has Badder Blood, Star Wars has 3 titles, and the other guys are bringing Disney Villains, Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer, Junnk Rabbit, My Little Pony, TMNT vs Street Fighter, and something called Sins of the Salton Sea. There is a list below. Check it out.

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. 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.
