A Long, Ugly Travel Day – Wednesday, August 6th, 2025

Actually, it was Tuesday, but  the reverberations continue. I can’t make this trip back and forth without it taking at least 12 hours. Going west 2.5 weeks ago they changed my gate during a nap and I missed a flight and waited 4 hours for the next one. Yesterday, I parked my rental car on Washington Ave in San Leandro blocks from the freeway entrance to put a couple of things in my suitcase in the trunk, and a commercial truck pulled in front of me too close and started taking the front bumper off until I started screaming my lungs out. In my rage, I tried to slam the passenger door, but hit my upper thigh instead. (Still limping.) The damage was minimal, but lucky, and a long accident report later, I got on the shuttle without my cell phone, and had to ride back to the lot and ask them where the car went. They found the phone, and I got back on the 5 leg transit trip to SFO. The Delta agent gave me a boarding pass for the wrong Johnson flying tomorrow (today) which I didn’t notice until the TSA agent started awkwardly asking me “Who is Rachel?”  Another portion of an hour later I finally got through it all and entered the Terminal with a 30 minute lunch hour instead of a 3 hour one. I did NOT miss that plane. And then, some of the worst turbulence I have felt in a long time, but they turned off course and got out of it after just a few minutes. My luggage was there, as promised, even with snafu at check in, so I was home with a gas station sandwich, which I snuck over to Merlins for a secret meal with a good tap beer, watching the Lake Street traffic in the perfectly pleasant night air. Not a bad end to a long day!

I counted in the DC’s Monday before I left, but Bob had trouble getting the Marvel info to me and so with my busy return to work Wednesday, I haven’t been able to get to this until Wednesday night, Thursday morning. I have nothing to say about actual comics for sale this week. I know. What a loss.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. 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.

ComiCon ends and Another Week of Perfect Weather in Livermore – Wednesday, July 30th, 2025

Meanwhile, Canada burns and the smoke moves south to envelope my home.

I didn’t mention ComiCon last week. Now I am mentioning it.

And now the Fantastic Four movie makes its attempt to make Fandom’s heads explode, for good or ill. I’ve heard both in the store this week. We got the Marvels on the racks a few hours late, Wednesday afternoon. And seismic development: Marvels are back a the top of the list for the first time since…a really long time.

My last Wednesday for a while. Plane leaves next Tuesday so bye y’all.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

The Author Returns to California – Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025

Guess who counted and checked in all of todays comics and books. Yes, a diminutive elf from the Norseland, where it is smoky, and unbearably hot and humid. Lovin’ these 65 degree summer days in California! Wave if you come in Wednesday. I will be here similarly next week, too.

The Superman Movie is raising hackles, temperatures, and issues. Pretty good job, I’d say. Haven’t seen it, but it shore is perplexing the punditry class on the wrong side of history who are bereft of empathy, critical thinking, looking to blame everything on wokeness and desperate for distraction from Dear Leader’s scandal. And now it’s time for a Fantastic movie (and Facebook banner)

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

I have done what I can to maintain a semblance of resemblance to the past, just about 10 years worth of weekly continuity of continuity, since….I just checked – I missed the Website’s birthday, again!  First post here was April 29, just 3 days before FCBD 2015! Happy 10 and 1/6th!

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. 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.

Diamond is Back – Sort of – Wednesday, July 16th, 2025

Lots of comics, over 220, with lots of duplication in the variants department, of course, and 6 “toys” from Diamond trickled through! We’ll call it Diamond Back Week! Even More New Normal! And Bob figured out which Marvels are 1/n variants so they are priced at ??? like the rest.

I’m wracking my brain to think of something to describe the dilemma that certain public figures find themselves in vis a vis promises made, promises ignored, promises violated, etc. and the only image that comes to mind is a Steely Dan album and song title, Pretzel Logic. Unfortunately, the lyrics don’t really apply, but the title sure does. The subject matter of their dilemma does not lend itself to jokes or satire, but the torture they are putting themselves through does bring me a measure of satisfaction.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

I have done what I can to maintain a semblance of resemblance to the past, just about 10 years worth of weekly continuity of continuity, since….I just checked – I missed the Website’s birthday, again!  First post here was April 29, just 3 days before FCBD 2015! Happy 10 and 1/6th!

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week.

I’m Going to Call This the New Normal – Wednesday, July 9th, 2025

It may be a bit early to go out on a limb like that, but what the heck. Week 2 of the next chapter in the national comic distribution drama picks up where we left off last week. No Diamond and I still don’t see any toys on the invoice. I wonder where all the Pops are going? I’m sure Bob is getting Pops from his card distributors along with Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh, Magic and all the sports cards and supplies. I just have no easy way of seeing the lists in advance. Sorry.

What I DO see is a bunch of comics and books, but not so many as some recent weeks, and what I don’t see is any special Marvel pricey variants, which Bob assures me are in there somewhere, but they aren’t marked on the list for this week (or last week) but that should be designated as such starting next week. So there.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

I have done what I can to maintain a semblance of resemblance to the past, just about 10 years worth of weekly continuity of continuity, since….I just checked – I missed the Website’s birthday, again!  First post here was April 29, just 3 days before FCBD 2015! Happy 10 and 1/6th!

What a Difference a week makes – We are still here, but Diamond Distribution is Not! – Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025

The last of the Direct Market Distributors did not ship this week, at least not to us. DC, Image and a very few other Pubs came from Lunar, and Marvels came from Penguin Random House. (This has caused a one-day delay in getting the correct information to me.) There are no “toys” or “cards” or other miscellaneous products from the last general comics and hobby distributors that made the comics hobby explosion possible around 50 years ago. If Phil Seuling (brief bio here) had not started talks with DC and Marvel back in 1974(?) to sell non-returnable comics to him at a much cheaper price (less money up front, but no returns to process, meant more publisher profit), the 2 big publishers and the several lessers (Harvey, Archie, and maybe a couple others) might have closed shop in the 80’s. Diamond was one of many small companies that sprang up around the country to do the same thing – not the first, but the last. The company still exists, at least on paper and in bankruptcy court, but this is the first week in over 40 years that Bob didn’t get anything from them. Maybe they will rise again, like Phoenix in #101. But in real life, nothing lasts forever. S’why we need comics, right?

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

I have done what I can to maintain a semblance of resemblance to the past, just about 10 years worth of weekly continuity of continuity, since….I just checked – I missed the Website’s birthday, again!  First post here was April 29, just 3 days before FCBD 2015! Happy 10 and 1/6th!

Wednesday is still New Comic Day, for at least one more week. 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.

Some of us have been tackled, shackled and beaten at our workplaces by the new Gestapo, because they had the wrong color skin. No trial. No evidence. No lawyer. No Constitution. Is that just like the Christ many Americas like to pretend to follow?

Another big week and a few pops. Commentary done.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

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.

3, 2, 1, LUNCH – Wednesday, June 18th, 2025

I mean, LAUNCH! Another big week for comics with lots to read and enjoy, about 200, but, jeez, everything has multiple covers, so unless you read all 9 copies of Bring on the Bad Guys Doom #1, which will become quite reptitive, it’s probably a normal amount of New comics to read.

I’m preoccupied with the chances of nuclear war, so that’s all for today.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

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.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s – Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

According to Google, Superman opens today. Oddly, there is only one Superman facing on the whole rack. I guess they front-loaded them over the last few weeks.

Big week for comics with lots to read and enjoy, over 200, but, jeez, everything has multiple covers, so unless you read all 9 copies of New Avengers #1, which I do not recommend, it’s probably a normal amount of New comics to read.

I’m preoccupied with the downfall of America, so that’s all for today.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

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.

Summer Hits Hard – Wednesday, June 4th, 2025

With Action! And Batgirl. And Birds of Prey. And…well, you get the point. Pride month begins with a few expressions of such on the racks today, in spite of the attempts by some to regress and scare America into submission.

I almost made it on time, but I’m only a few hours late. Super busy juggling bookkeeping, re-stocking, bagging, grading, ordering, planning, building, running, breathing, alphabetizing, but not nearly enough selling.

Big week for comics with lots to read and enjoy. Do that while they are still legal. Time to get ready for another blockbuster in the movie theaters on July 11, so Superman is our new banner on Facebook.

Thanks to  League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

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.
