News, events, and information about Comix Experience and the Graphic Novel of the Month Clubs.
Happy Wednesday! Comics got hit by "supply chain issues" this week, so much fewer periodicals than normal, but man are there some great books out! DESTROY ALL MONSTERS completes the "Reckless" Trilogy, plus we've got both November (TIME BEFORE TIME) and December's (FAR SECTOR) Graphic Novel Club selections this week -- AND the first issue of Cliff Chiang's CATWOMAN: LONELY CITY. Much much more too, down below the cut -- so what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreYay, Wednesday! We are still missing our DC comics as I write this, but expected by 4pm. Otherwise, looks like the lead new comic might be BLACK PANTHER LEGENDS #1, followed by NO ONE LEFT TO FIGHT II -- and don't miss the paperback collection of ULTRAMEGA! So much more shipping, though -- just look under the cut — what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreNot too much coming in this week, but the new Remender/Image book, RIGHTEOUS THIRST FOR VENGEANCE stands out with gorgeous art. We’re also checking out DIRTBAG RAPTURE from Oni, CHICKEN DEVIL from Aftershock and HATH NO FURY could be fun. More under the cut—what’s looks good to YOU?
Read MoreWell look at that, another week of new comics! HUMAN REMAINS catches my eye first, and we’re very happy to have trades for GOOD ASIAN, HAHA and BRZRKR in. I assume X-Men fans will be glad to see the start of INFERNO, but there’s so much to choose this week—what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreGosh, we like comics! This Wednesday will bring a great pack of new things, with the lead likely being FRONTIERSMAN, while the kiddos will super dig WRASSLE CASTLE, and we super like the look of SEEDS OF SPRING. But there's so much more coming this week down after the cut... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAnother great week of funny books! Probably the most anticipated book this week is the HARLEY QUINN ANIMATED spinoff, but I know a ton of kids who are looking for Jenny Holm's SUNNY MAKES A SPLASH, and the new Jeff Lemire PRIMORDIAL looks keen too... so much more coming out this week, what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreIt is a nice week for debuts this Wednesday's new comics day -- the lead book is clearly Jeff Lemire's MAZEBOOK, but we're also looking forward to SEARCH FOR HU, and DEADBOX looks like it could be fun. But that's just a fraction of what's coming out this week, so much more behind the cut.... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreA compact week with many treats, this Wednesday afternoon will bring us the interesting sounding ALMOST AMERICAN, the next big Batman even with FEAR STATE ALPHA, and on the book side it's been a really long time since there has been an affordable color paperback version of the classic VAULT OF HORROR, and everyone should have some ECs in their collection! But so much more is arriving and is bel;ow that cut.... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreOooh, great week of comics coming on Wednesday! For the periodicals, without question the book of the week is JH William's ECHOLANDS. On the book side, we adore Ted Naifeh's WITCH FOR HIRE, and we're strangely compelled to put MAYOR GOOD BOY as our kid's follow-up. But that's just the tip of the iceberg -- there is a TON below the cut! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAh, we loves them comics! This week's lead for Hibbs is clearly a new Hanslemann with CRISIS ZONE, on the periodical side KILLER QUEENS looks like a laugh, and for that post "Loki" thing, here's a KANG comic! But there's so so so so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreOnce again it looks like UPS shipping problems may delay new comics until Wed afternoon, argh, UPS work it out already! The third Milestone book, HARDWARE, looks like the lead periodical, but there's also DEFENDERS from Marvel. And Zoe would probably punch me if I didn't put CHEER UP: LOVE AND POM POMS up here. Much more behind the cut -- what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreIt's Wednesday morning, and the store is supposed to be open in about forty minutes, and we still don't have our hands on a single comic, from either periodical distributor. Please call first to confirm comics arrived, we advise -- unlikely to be anything on sale before 1p, BEST case scenario!
Looking good to us this week is LOST ON PLANET EARTH, next month's Graphic Novel Club selection, and we're intrigued by Skottie Young's THE ME YOU LOVE IN THE DARK, while there is a lot of pent up anticipation for the next ADVENTURE ZONE. But that's just the slightest portion of the wonders and delights that await you this week... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAnother nicely diverse week of comic books coming on Wednesday. We're going to lead with PAX SAMSON, an upcoming Kids selection for our Graphic Novel of the Month Club, and new periodical launches include SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL and THE LAST BOOK YOU'LL EVER READ. But that's but a eensey fraction of the joy that awaits you below the cut... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreLots of new comics coming in this week! We're the most excited for THE DIRE DAYS OF WILLOWWEEP MANOR, book that will be our new Kids Club selection, but was so funny that ALL of adult staff here loved and laughed. On the periodicals side, BERMUDA looks pretty good, and getting a last taste of Grant Morrison on DC is always good with SUPERMAN & THE AUTHORITY. But that's just a tiny fraction of the joys and delights that await you with this week's arrivals! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreThe most interesting looking periodical launch to this observer this week is MAMO, but Marvel would point you to X-MEN, Image to SKYBOUND X and DC to JUSTICE LEAGUE INFINITY. And that's just the new launches! There's so much more just below the cut... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreIssue #304 of Comix Experience ONOMATOPOEIA is available for download now — see what is coming out in September 2021!
It's that rare week of new comics where we're more fired up for a stack of books than the periodicals -- especially CHIBI USAGI, ah so cute! There is also Guy Delisle's FACTORY SUMMERS and the super-mental KANE & ABLE. Love you comics! There's a whole lot more this week, though, all behind the cut! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreComics are arriving late this week to most of the Bay Area, so maybe call first before you start the trip to be sure we actually have them -- DC comics currently show as being in New Mexico with no scheduled delivery date (!), and the Diamond shipment indicates Wednesday delivery, and we'll need a bit of time to work the shipment before they're up for sale. Hopefully all ready by 1p, but let's see what UPS brings us!
BUT, it's a nice big week of funny books, so when they finally come you've got many great things this week! DC's next big crossover event dealie kicks off this week with INFINITE FRONTIER, Marvel gives us their MARVELS VOICES PRIDE anthology, and let's give it up for Todd McFarlane and his launching SPAWN UNIVERSE twenty-nine years of the main title! But what looks good to YOU?
Wow, big diverse week of funnybooks! We like the look of COMPASS, like the premise of SAVE YOURSELF, and are excited for the return of STATIC SEASON ONE... But that's just the tiniest portion of this particular week of comics! Get thee behind the jump and tell us what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAnother sterling week of comical books! The lead book is almost certainly James Tynion's THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE -- what a swell read! This week also starts the X-Men "Gala" crossover with three tie-in releases. Finally, we're pretty up for the newest Katie O'Neill book with TEA DRAGON TAPESTRY, scrummy! But that's just the least of it, so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU??
