New Releases on July 29, 2015

Look at me doing this well before midnight. At least in California! The following is a small sample of what may (we hope) be sitting on the shelves when you come in Wednesday to say HI and get a little colorful reading material!

Thanks again to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can swipe it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s:Deathstroke Annual, Lobo Annual, Batman Arkham Knight Genesie, Gotham by Midnight Annual, JLA God and Monsters Superman, Shrinking Man, and a few more. Do annuals really count as a new #1 as I have defined them? Then there is Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies, Age of Apocalypse, 1602 starring Angela, Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars, Dearedevil Guardians Team-Up, Howard the Duck, Low, Outcst, Lady M, Dr Who 11th Doctor, and Simpsons. And a lot more.

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a Marvel,DC, or Image [and most of the others], we probably did. But, we may have only ordered 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in far, you should call first.)

I’ve noticed the information we borrow is not always correct and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a early or misses one. Also, I don’t have all variants memorized and it occurs to me that GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many variants to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be higher than cover price. So be it.

And another disclaimer is needed: alternate cover comics shown on this page MAY be subject to price and availability anomalies without notice.

New Releases on July 22, 2015

Crap! Late again, but better than the last 2 weeks. Still in Minnesota. So this stuff came out earlier today.   I’ll get better!

Thanks again to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s: BlackList, Valiant Book of Death, Cyborg, JLA Gods and Monsters, Power Up, and Swords of Sorrow – Red Sonja and Jungle Girl. Plus Star Wars Lando #2, Kanan Last Padawan #4,  Big Trouble, Fight Club, Elfquest, Civil War, A-Force, E is for Extinction, We Are Robin, and Dr Who 9th and 12th.

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a DC, Marvel, or Image [and the great majority of the others], we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in far, you might want to call first.)

I’ve noticed our information source is not always perfect and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a little early or misses another one. Also, I don’t have all variants memorized and it occurs to me that GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many variants to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be $10 or more. So there.

New Releases on July 15, 2015

Whoops! I did it again! No, this is not Britney, this is Ralph the Tuesday Guy in Minnesota and I did it again. Too much birthday cake and soccer with the nieces. Sorry.  So this stuff came out yesterday.   I’ll try really hard to remember this on time next week!

Thanks to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s: Captain Britain and Mighty Defenders, Death Head, and that’s about it! But there are are over a dozen #2’s. You could say this is wonder Woman Week. I like this batch of DC covers so I’m going to stop adding more. And a lot more. I’m sure there are still plenty of them left by now!

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

New Releases on July 8, 2015

Whoops! Ralph the Tuesday Guy is in Minnesota this week and sort of lost track of time. So this is a list that has already come out yesterday. I will be gone for 2 more Wednesdays starting today!  I’ll try really hard to remember this on time next week!

Thanks to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their  list.

New #’1’s: Mad Max Fury Road, Bloodstrike, Wolf, Siege, Civil War, Age of Apocalypse, Spider-Island, Strange Fruit, Negative Space, Tomorrows, and Star Trek Green Lantern! And about 90 others. I’m sure there are still plenty of them left by now!

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

New Releases on July 1, 2015

The longest new comic book day of the year.  You can read comics outside for 2 minutes longer than last Wednesday.

Here’s a tiny sample of what we’re expecting Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Kudos to GoCollect.com for putting together a list each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their complete list.

I’m leaving and will be gone for 3 Wednesdays starting today!  Barb Wire is back! Hydra gets’s its –  or is it their – own book. Red Skull gets his own book. Lando gets his own book! The Spirit gets his own book! Again! Here’s a tiny cover gallery of what should be there.

(We don’t always order everything, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

New Releases on June 24rd

The longest new comic book day of the year.  You can read comics outside for 2 minutes longer than last Wednesday.

Here’s a tiny sampling of what we’re expecting Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Much gratitude to GoCollect.com for putting a list together each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their complete list.

Marvels’ “Last Days of…” hits 3 more titles this week Black Widow, Loki, and Punisher. DC # 1’s include Green Lantern Lost Army, Justice League 3001, and We Are Robin.  Star Wars Princess Leia #5, Walking Dead, Fight Club and Disney’s Inside Out one-shot round out the list of mentionables.  Here’s a tiny cover gallery.

(We don’t always order everything on this list, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

Translation: New Arrivals on June 17th

Biggest week in quite a while, in number of titles on the wall. Here’s a tiny sample of what we’re expecting Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Much gratitude to GoCollect.com for putting a list together each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their complete list.

Secret Wars is barely to be found this week (just Deadpool’s SW), and yet, we have about 15 more titles than last week! This year should be called Year 1 because both DC and Marvel are starting over or re-vamping old characters, or whatever and the avalanche of Number One issues continues: Black Canary, Doomed, Dr. Fate, Harley Quinn & Power Girl, JLA (9 covers), Martian Manhunter, Prez, Robin Son of Batman (who knew?), Secret Six are all number #1’s this week, and Marvel has Thors (plural), Squadron Sinister,  and Runaways (Battleworld) just starting (over). Plus, to get ready for more 1’s, Magneto and Ms. Marvel both announce “Last Days of…” above the title this week.

From the movies and other media, we have a new Mad Max Fury Road “Furiosa”, Minions and Plants vs. Zombies -all number one’s!

This could also be called the year of change. I heard Marge and Homer will be divorced next season. What’s the world coming to?

(We don’t always order everything on this list, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

I’ve noticed our source is not always perfect and sometimes predicts an occasional arrival a little early, as in Thors #1 being on last week’s list in stead of this week’s. Also, I don’t have all variants memorized and it occurs to me that GoCollect.com chooses one of who knows how many to show and the one they show we may or may not get, or it may be $10 or more.

 New Comics on June 10th

Here’s a very small sample of what we’re expecting Wednesday, June 10, 2015. Kudos to GoCollect.com for putting a list together each week so we can borrow it. Click here to see their complete list.

GoCollect had Neil Gaiman’s 1602 coming out last week, but it didn’t and I don’t see it here this week so who knows? Mrs. Deadpool, Starfire, Earth 2 Society, and Thors (plural with an “s”) lead off the continuing summer blizzard of number 1 issues this week – the first 16 on the list are #1!  Also the newest Saga, Walking Dead and Star Wars Kanan are sure to please awaiting fans.

(We don’t always order everything on this list, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably do. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out. If you are driving in, you might want to call first.)

What’s coming out June 3rd, you ask?

Here’s a short list of what should be in the store Wednesday, June 3, 2015. Many thanks to GoCollect.com for putting this list together all of us fans. Click here to see their complete list.

Okay THIS week  brings us Secret Wars #3, Groot #1 (it had better have some supporting characters or it will be an EXTREMELY fast read!), a re-boot of Neil Gaiman’s 1602 starring Angela this time, Star Wars #6 and Darth Vader #6, Bizarro #1, Batman Beyond #1, and Bat-Mite #1! So the Post Convergence is looking pretty good! And, of course, the usual dizzying array of other cool stuff to read and enjoy.

And I think I forgot to tell you how many different Funko Pops we had as of the big shipment last week. (Answer at the bottom of this posting.)

(We don’t always order everything on their list, but if it’s a Marvel, DC, or Image (and the great majority of the rest), we probably did. But, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles, so we could sell out fast. If you are coming in from far away, give us a call.)

Answer to the puzzle above the picture: 333*

*Actually, that’s how many different ones we had Tuesday, June 2, and we sold out of several since last Wednesday, so I have to guess 340 back then!

New Comics for 2015 May 27

Fight Club 2!?!

Too many cool covers, so here’s a double size sample of what’s scheduled for release Wednesday, May27, 2015. Kudos to GoCollect.com for putting this list together each week. Click here or on the image to see their complete list.

Whhoops, I said last week “Secret Wars Chapter 3 brings…”, which was only the case if you define ” A Chapter” as a week during which the whole crossover bonanza is taking place. Which is a legitimate definition. On the other hand, the comic called “Secret Wars #3” is still a week or two away, now, a week later. But “Battleworld” and/or “Secret Wars” as a concept is creeping onto the cover of many of Marvel’s comics again with this week with a bevy of new #1’s.

(We don’t order everything on their list, but if it’s DC, Marvel, or Image, and the majority of the rest, we probably did. Also, we may only order 1 or 2 of some of the titles in the bottom half, so we may sell out fast. If you are coming from far away, give us a call.)
