Where's Deadpool?

He's on variant covers of a bunch of Marvel titles this week.  The Merc with a Mouth is all over the Marvel U., and Deapool collectors may want to sneak over to our variant cover counter to grab these oddball appearances.  Some of them are in extremely limited quantity!

The Losers

Did you see the trailer for The Losers, based on the Vertigo series of the same name?  If not, click the image below:


We couldn't stop talking about this comic when it was coming out, and even called it "The best action movie that would never, ever get made."  Well, they made it, and it looks pretty faithful... and awesome!

Fortunately, Vertigo just put out a collection of the first two volumes of the out-of-print series.  Smart, right?  We have it in stock now!  If you like caper movies, action flicks, explosions laced with witty banter, or no-win situations, you need to check out The Losers before it hits the big screen.

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Comics

In Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin #8, "Blackest Knight" continues when Dick Grayson may have unleashed a terror unlike any seen before.  Guest-starring Batwoman, Knight, and Squire!

It's mobsters, mayhem, and sleight of hand when the returned Mysterio and Spider-Man throw down in Amazing Spider-Man #620.  Oh, and Mr. Negative is there, too.  That should make things ten times worse for the webslinger.

Adventure Comics #7 features Black Lantern Superboy, and that's all DC is saying about it.  But the cover also has Wonder Girl, so you can probably expect further complications - and fisticuffs - in their relationship.

Rick Jones has superpowers now, and it's up to the amazing friends of Spidey, Human Torch, and Iceman to show him that responsibility comes with powers as a package deal in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #7.  But will he learn the lesson?

Secret Six #18 concludes the Blackest Night tie-in by Suicide Squad vet writer John Ostrander and Secret Six scribe Gail Simone.  The Black Lantern ex-Squad members have the Squad and Six with their backs against the wall.  But what does Amanda Waller have up her scheming sleeve?  And who will Deadshot choose?  This is the series that proves it's not so bad being... well, bad.

When Marvel let Warren Ellis get his demented mitts on Ultimate Iron Man again, we knew it would be a superhero tech-stravaganza.  And we were right!  Ultimate Comics Armor Wars #4 concludes Tony Stark's battle for (and against) his own Iron Man armor secrets.

Bras copes with the loss of a loved one in Daytripper #3.  No, she didn't die... she dumped him!  So his father has a lesson for him to learn in the latest ish of the new Vertigo series by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá.

X-Man did a number on Norman Osborn's brain, and now his X-Men team has to venture into that minefield of crazy in Dark X-Men #4.  What is the mind of one of Marvel's most psychotic enemies like, and how would one go about escaping it?

A new storyline begins in The Unwritten #10, and one of the most intriguing new titles gets even more so when Tom Taylor's search for self takes him to 1940 Stuttgart!  What will he learn from the home of the Third Reich's terror-inspiring Josef Goebbels?

Cyclops has his reasons for running the New Mutants team separately from the rest of the X-Men, and his purpose is revealed in New Mutants #10.

The All-Stars track their missing member and kidnappers in JSA All-Stars #3.  And it looks like Magog's days on the team are numbered.  Hence, the Power Girl fist-to-the face cover.  Ouch!

In Dark Tower: The Battle of Jericho Hill #3, young Roland intends on retaliating against the Good Man for what he did to his father's Affiliation.  But there is a traitor amongst Gilead's survivors.  Pick up the comics based on Stephen King's Dark Tower series!

Batgirl and Robin race to save Batman from Roulette's twisted game in Batgirl #7.  And they better hurry, because stakes are his life.

Haunt #5 concludes the first story arc of Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane's new Image series.  Daniel finds out more about his brother's death, and must come to a decision about his own future.

Liz and Abe Sapien take a platoon of soldiers into Hollow Earth in B.P.R.D.: King of Fear #2, while Kate Corrigan tries to free Johann Kraus by helping the spirit of Lobster Johnson find rest.  It doesn't get more paranormal than this book, kids.

Wilson Fisk makes his move for control of the the New York crime families in Punishermax #4.  All while Frank Castle has to deal with the baddest sledge-swinging Amish assassin ever, The Mennonite!  Writer Jason Aaron is bringing us a gritty/ hyperviolent/ funny Punisher comic that picks up where Garth Ennis left off.

Action Comics #886 has Nightwing and Flamebird trying to stop Zod's most dangerous sleeper agent - Jax-Ur!  He's been amongst us, studying and conducting terrible experiments... now he has more power than any Kryptonian should!

Powerless Stephen Strange has doomed many lives by saving a few, and now he and his new apprentice must find a way to undo the damage in Strange #4.

Booster is searching throughout the timestream for his missing sister, but instead he finds Coast City and the man that would destroy it in Booster Gold #29.

Check out the Marvel Universe of the 50s and the birth of its greatest hero in Marvel Boy: The Uranian #2, by Agents of Atlas writer Jeff Parker.

DMZ #50 celebrates a milestone issue with "Notes from the Underground," a collection of short stories from journalist Matty Roth.  He's writing about a country at war with itself, and the people trapped in the middle of it.

Human Target #1 kicks off a whole new mission for Christopher Chance, who you may now know from his television show of the same name!  Series creator and comic vet Len Wein writes an all-new tale of the man crazy enough to put himself in the path of the assassin's bullet!

Also look out for Solomon kane: Death's Black Riders #2, Choker #1, Hit Monkey #1, S.W.O.R.D. #4, Green Arrow/ Black Canary #29, X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back #1, Vengeance of Moon Knight #5, Titans #22, Invincible Presents Atom Eve & Rex Splode #3, R.E.B.E.L.S. #13, Phonogram 2 #7, and many more great titles available this week!

Collections

All-Star Superman vol. 2 is now available in softcover, and Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's super-popular series concludes when the Man of Steel must face his inevitable death.  But he has some important things to do first, like save the world from a plague of Bizarros and stop Lex Luthor's ultimate plan!  If you've never read a Superman story, make sure you get this one.  You'll become a fan.  Pretty bold statement, right?  Believe it.

Hellblazer's original writer Jaime Delano is joined by The Losers artist Jock for an original graphic novel pitting John Constantine against an all-new kind of horror.  Hellblazer: Pandemonium begins with a beautiful woman, but will very quickly get Constantine tangled in a new occult excapade.  We're crazy about Jock's art, so we're definitely on board.

The Preacher Book 2 Hardcover continues Jesse Custer's search, alongside his girlfriend Tulip (who's pretty handy with a gun) and his Irish vampire pal Cassidy.  Their journey will take them all over the world, unless the mysterious organization known as The Grail can take them out.  This series is an Austin Books All-Time Favorite, and we're glad to see it get the hardcover treatment!

Artist Michael Wm. Kaluta joins Matt Wagner for Madame Xanadu vol. 2: Exodus Noir.  Madame Xanadu looks into a murder that has significance from the Spanish Inquisition through 1940s New York.  Look at this book and be amazed at how beautiful it is.

Bruce Banner is not the Hulk!  Everything changes in Hulk vol. 3: Hulk No More, when the Red Hulk goes on the warpath.  What chance does the world have now?  Plus, the original Defenders have the fight of their lives when they face off with their counterparts in the... wait for it... Offenders!

Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. Ultimate Collection collects the entirety of Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen's hilarious comic featuring C-list heroes that find out they're working for the wrong people.  Though they were brought together to take down Bizarre Weapons of Mass Destruction, Aaron Stack (Machine Man), Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel - the girl one), Tabitha "Boom-Boom" Smith, monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone and The Captain (he's great) decide to go against their evil parent company.  How do they do that?  By making things explode and kicking heads, of course!

Indie Spotlight

Relive the self-made comics creativity explosion that followed up the R. Crumb/ Shelton/ Jaxon/ hippie underground comix of the 60s - 70s with Newave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s.  This huge Fantagraphics anthology of comics by artists that later went on to bigger things... or didn't... is a celebration of do-it-yourself and not playing by mainstream rules.

Steven Weissman's latest "Yikes" book, Chocolate Cheeks, is a disgustingly great , weird, disturbing kids book that you probably wouldn't want your kids to read.  If you ever liked Garbage Pail Kids, you should probably check out the adventures of "Sweet" Chubby Cheeks, Pullapart Boy, Crustache, and Lumpy Noodle.

Fantagraphics has released a new expanded edition of Ho Che Anderson's King.  Done in a noir style, Anderson attempts to look beyond the saintly image of Martin Luther King Jr. and tell the real story of the man and his work.  Almost a hundred pages of extras are included: a prequel story, prep sketches, excerpts from a journal the artist kept during the ten years researching and making King, and a new epilogue story.

Books, Magazines, etc.

New issues of Toyfare and Doctor Who Magazine are available this week.

T

oys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Always wanted one of those Harley Quinn action figures , but had trouble finding them/ discovered they were pretty valuable when you did?  Here's your second chance: the Batman: Mad Love Collector Set features new sculpts/ paints of Harley and her Mr. J (Joker), and includes a new printing of the rare Batman: Mad Love comic by Batman: The Animated Series (and Harley) creators Paul Dini and Bruce Timm.

Thunder... thunder... Thundercats! Hoooooooooo!  Now you can relive one of the greatest power-up sequences whenever you like by admiring the Thundercats Lion-O Statue available this week.  It's pleasantly Snarf-free!

Light  up your room with the pink-hued Supergirl Mini Neon Sign and let the world know you're a fan of the Girl of Steel.  Or Gay Superman.  Whichever.

Restocks

As mentioned in the intro, we have more of The Losers vol. 1 and 2, in one big book.  Check out the first arcs of one of Austin Books' favorite action comics!

Recently Acquired

If you're not on the Classic Comics Showdown e-mail list, you should sign up for it at the Austin Books webpage.  Then you'll be amongst the first to know about our crazy classic acquisitions.  We'll be sending an e-mail out soon about some Bronze/ Modern Age key issues we recently picked up!

We priced through a couple boxes of rare indie/ underground comics, and found lots o' Robert Crumb comix.  We priced through his comics anthology magazine Weirdo, and a couple issues of Zap and a later printing of R. Crumb's Comics and Stories.  We also turned up his early issues of...

Harvey Pekar's American Splendor!  Early issues featured art by Pekar's friend Crumb, but other well-known artists worked with the Cleveland-based writer on his unusual tales of everyday life.  There's even a one-page story drawn by Alan Moore!

Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko was never one for the spotlight (good luck finding a photo of him after the early 60s), and as he slipped from mainstream comics he created an unusual comic that reflected his Ayn Rand-based beliefs.  We have the first issue of Ditko's Mr. A. in stock for the first time in years.  It's sort of like the Question (also created by Ditko), but waaaaaay out there.

Losers Trailer

Did you see the trailer for The Losers, based on the Vertigo series of the same name?  If not, click the image below:


We couldn't stop talking about this comic when it was coming out, and even called it "The best action movie that would never, ever get made."  Well, they made it, and it looks pretty faithful... and awesome!

Fortunately, Vertigo just put out a collection of the first two volumes of the out-of-print series.  Smart, right?  We'll have more of 'em in stock on Thursday.  If you like caper movies, action flicks, explosions laced with witty banter, or no-win situations, you need to check out The Losers before it hits the big screen.

Pull List Link, Features

Have your books set aside at your convenience with the Austin Books & Comics pull list.

You can also use it as a printable checklist where you  check the boxes of interested books and click the "Create Printable List" button at the top right of the page to produce your own shopping list.  This feature will help you to not miss any books while still allowing you to select your own copies from the shelf.

ABC on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?

Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics we just bought, or some of the bizarre ads/ panels in them?

Have a question and want an answer from a comics expert?

You can do all that by following us on Twitter, and/or by becoming one of our fans at Facebook.  We'll keep you updated on what's happenin' the good ol' fashioned way - tweets!

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

Comics

The biggest battle in Marvel's history rages on in Siege #2.  Norman Osborn's forces will not let up until Asgard is his, and Earth's heroes rush to the aid of the city of gods.  In this issue, an Avenger dies!  Who will fall?  The story seven years in the making continues here.  And in Siege: Embedded #2, Volstagg doesn't appreciate being used to further Osborn's agenda... so this god is going to show the world who Norman Osborn really is.

We're closer to learning the identity of Twilight (assuming you haven't seen the spoilers) in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight #32: Twilight, Part 1.  Writer Brad Meltzer has promised a doozy, and that's exactly what Buffy fans are going to get.

Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan return with compelling new single-issue stories, starting with Demo #1.  For more info, see Brad's Pick of the Week below!

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #3 concludes another Blackest Night tie-in miniseries when the Amazonian Princess accepts who she is and what she must do.  Before you think that sounds a little too introspective, keep in mind there are dead superheroes trying to kill everyone!

Who is Ultimate X?  Beats us, but with a team like Jeph Loeb and Art Adams on the latest Ultimate Comics title, you gotta figure they're going to be a big deal.  Check out Ultimate Comics X #1, and see who that kid with the familiar-looking claws is!

The original Question Vic Sage returns in The Question #37, a Blackest Night resurrected one-shot!  And he's targeting Renee Montoya, his protege who went on to take on his faceless identity.  Will Montoya be able to fight her corrupted mentor?

Longtime enemy the Ghost is making his way to Broxton, Oklahoma to kill a helpless Tony Stark in Invincible Iron Man #23.  Also, Dr. Strange attempts to help Stark find his lost consciousness deep in the recesses of his thoughts.  For more Iron Man, check out the Indomitable Iron Man black & white comic magazine one-shot.  It's like the classic Marvel mags of the 70s, but with all-new, all-modern stories!

Fable superspy Cinderella is tracking the illegal distribution of magical items in Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #4, and she's closer to putting an end to the operation.  Hopefully she does it before the mundy world discovers their secrets!

Tracy Lawless is this close to finding the murderers he's been sent to root out.  Too bad he's a couple steps behind other bad men who have been sent to take him out.  See how it all shakes out in Criminal: The Sinners #4 - it probably won't be pretty.

"What I Know" begins in The Boys #39, and the next chapter of the popular Garth Ennis series kicks off with a shocker.  Yes, we realize that could mean just about anything in an Ennis book.

Cable and Hope are trying to make their way back to the present in Cable #23, but Bishop is determined to stop them at any cost.  The "Homecoming" story leads up to the big X-event of the year, Second Coming!  Will Hope deliver them from - or to - evil?

Superman: World of New Krypton #12 concludes the maxiseries focused on Kal-El's investigation of a deep-rooted conspiracy in the highest levels of his new home's government.  But as bad as things may be, they're going to get even worse for the Man of Steel when a familiar skull-shaped craft approaches New Krypton.

Ten-Four, good buddy!  Deadpool hits the open road with Marvel's big rig hero U. S. Ace in Deadpool Team-Up #896.  Yep, you read that right.  If you're curious about what kind of adventures a truck driver can get into in the Marvel U., check out US 1 in our back issue bins.

The Justice Society of America Annual draws from the events of both JSA All-Stars and Magog, and is written by both Keith Giffen and Matthew Sturges.  When a massive prison break occurs, Magog's own teammates suspect he is the cause.

Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk #1 introduces us to a whole new monsterfor the cosmic epic that has spun out of War of Kings.  He is Hiro-Kala, the Son of Hulk (another one?).  And he will stop at nothing to protect Jarella's world.  Also tied-in to Realm of Kings is Nova #34, where the Human Rocket battles the Sphinx... and the results could change history!

Tim Drake returns to Gotham in Red Robin #9 with the knowledge that Bruce Wayne isn't dead.  But what can he do to save his mentor, a man lost in time?

Writer Jason Aaron has been making quite a name for himself, and Wolverine: Weapon X #10 is a good jump-on point if you haven't been reading his brutal adventures of the fan-favorite Canadian mutant.

Artist Farel Dalrymple joins the HoM team for a tale in House of Mystery #22, when a young boy shows up at the House claiming he knows Fig.  Also from Vertigo this week, a new story arc begins in Sweet Tooth #6 and the fate of the deer-boy Gus is revealed.  Over in Greek Street #8, the dead refuse to stay so in a modern retelling of the Greek tragedies.

Doom Patrol #7 - would you believe Crazy Jane is back?  The beloved character from Grant Morrison's run on the DP finds her way to a devastated Oolong Island, and she has bad news for the team.

In Batman Confidential #41, written and drawn by Sam Keith, the Dark Knight struggles to learn more about a creature that is terrorizing his city. But the creature knows a lot more about Batman than should be possible.

Classic early 70s comic tales of gothic horror and romance are collected in Showcase Presents: Secrets of Sinister House.  Can the Forbidden Mansion be far behind?

Superman is no longer on Earth, but that doesn't mean Metropolis is without heroes.  In Superman: Mon-El vol. 1, the former Phantom Zone prisoner Mon-El gets his first taste of living in a society and uses his Kryptonian-like powers to fill in Supes's red boots.  And the Guardian returns with a new assignment in the city's Science Police!  But are they enough to save the City of Tomorrow?

Brad's Pick of the Week

DEMO VOL 2 #1 (OF 6) (MR)

Written by Brian Wood
Art and cover by Becky Cloonan

"A series of compelling but achingly brief short stories that each introduce extraordinary characters."
-THE ONION on DEMO VOL. 1

The pioneering indie masterwork returns! And here's the first of 6 brand-new, single-issue, done-in-one stories from Brian Wood (DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) and Becky Cloonan (AMERICAN VIRGIN, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), each one just as powerful and emotionally charged as the original run. In "The Waking Life of Angels," a woman is haunted by a recurring premonition; one of a person plummeting from a great height. Seriously sleep-deprived and with only fragments of images for clues, she abandons her life to travel halfway around the world in hopes of finding this person before her fateful accident occurs.

Pull List Link, Features

Have your books set aside at your convenience with the Austin Books & Comics pull list.

You can also use it as a printable checklist where you  check the boxes of interested books and click the "Create Printable List" button at the top right of the page to produce your own shopping list.  This feature will help you to not miss any books while still allowing you to select your own copies from the shelf.

ABC on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?

Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics we just bought, or some of the bizarre ads/ panels in them?

Have a question and want an answer from a comics expert?

You can do all that by following us on Twitter, and/or by becoming one of our fans at Facebook.  We'll keep you updated on what's happenin' the good ol' fashioned way - tweets!

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Comics

It's another home run week for new comics!  Here's the highlight reel:

For more about Green Lantern #50, see Brad's Pick of the Week below.  As he fights the Black Lantern Spectre, Hal Jordan is going to need to... woah, hold up.  Is that the Parallax armor he's wearing on the cover?

A lot of you have been asking about Captain America: Reborn #6.  Well, we're happy to tell you that the wait is over!  Now, we don't want to spoil any surprises for you, but a certain stars-and-stripes clad hero is fighting for his life.  And you just may see Steve Rogers return to the Marvel Universe in the upcoming...err...  past month!  Anyways, this is how it happens!

More clues about the Domino Killer are revealed in Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin #7.  And if that's not enough, more about the true fate of Bruce Wayne!

Kick-Ass #8!  Marvel's delivering more than one hotly-anticipated issue this week with the latest ish of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s violent superhero mega-hit.  Kick-Ass and Hit Girl are going after the bad guys... let the bodies hit the floor!

Atom and Hawkman #46 resurrects another series for DC's Blackest Night event.  And this time, Green Lantern/ Blackest Night mastermind Geoff Johns is writing the one-issue tie-in!  The Atom is in the center of the chaos, and the Black Lantern Hawkman won't stop until he's killed his former crime-fighting partner.

If you've read any of Marvel's recent crossover epics, you know the Avengers titles are pretty important to getting the full picture.  So be sure not to miss New Avengers #61, when a certain returned Sentinel of Liberty steps up to join the fight for Asgard.  Okay, you know who it is already - Captain America is back, baby!

The survivors reach Washington in Walking Dead #69.  But what, if anything, is there waiting for them?  Find out in the latest issue of Robert Kirkman's tense survival horror series.

Batman joins with Batwoman in search of a brutal murderer that is mutilating his victims in Detective Comics #861, the first part of "Cutter."

Brian Michael Bendis has been one of (if not THE) key writers shaping Marvel's Ultimate Universe since day one.  Now he's about to reveal the greatest threat to the Ult. Universe, starting in Ultimate Comics Enemy #1.  Who is it, and how will the collected heroes stop them?

The legacy team of heroes are in for the fight of their life when former friends and allies return as Black Lanterns in Blackest Night JSA #2.  Humanity fights for the right to live, and we can't have better heroes in the battle than the Justice Society!

Mysterio is playing mind games with Spider-Man, and supposedly-dead villains are up and about in Amazing Spider-Man #619.  The Gauntlet continues, but we bet the webhead wishes it would stop before it kills him.

Geoff Johns continues to redefine the origin of the Man of Steel in Superman: Secret Origin #4.  Metropolis has their own superhero, and he's about to have his first fight with a supervillain - the Parasite!  And what potential does Lex Luthor see in this Superman?

The plot of the Red Hulk thickens in Fall of the Hulks: Red Hulk #1.  As the Intelligencia's plan becomes a frightening reality, what role will the cast-out Red Hulk play in making sure his betrayers succeed?  And why?

In Justice League: Cry for Justice #6, Prometheus introduces an already-shaken team to a new threat that could change everything for the World's Greatest Heroes.

Balder is prepared to go to war with Dr. Doom for his fellow Asgardians in Thor #606, and Thor will stand by him in battle.  But what secret weapon does the Latverian ruler possess, and whose side is Loki on?

It's the dawn of a new era for the team in Justice League of America #41, and the updated roster is going to have a few familiar faces and plenty of surprises!  Find out who made the team in this issue.

Nick Fury gets his agents in place in preparation for HYDRA and LEVIATHAN in Secret Warriors #12.  This title puts the "super" in superspy action, folks.  Plus, Fury is one of Marvel's coolest characters, so check it out if you haven't already.

There's a new threat within the JSA, but this time they're ready.  See the leaner, meaner team take on the powerful intruder in Justice Society of America #35.

Avengers: The Initiative #32 ties in with Marvel's huge Siege event when the Initiative members that were promised fame, fortune, and redemption are sent into war.  They'll fight alongside the Dark Avengers against the gods of Asgard... so don't expect to see them all survive!

The Guardian, Nightwing, and Flamebird are close to finding Zod's Metropolis sleeper agent in Superman #696.

Wolverine and his team are sent to kill the Black Queen in X-Force #23.  But when they get to Necrosha, will they be ready for what's waiting for them?  And in X-Men Legacy #232, an enemy from the X-Men's past was unintentionally pulled out of death by Selene.  But now he has his own plans.

Someone has marked Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn for death.  Can the Riddler help them find out who wants to see them buried?  Check out Gotham City Sirens #8 for more answers to the mystery.

The search for the Invisible Woman continues in X-Factor #201, and the team ends up face-to-face with  Dr. Doom in Latveria.  He has Layla Miller and all her secret knowledge...

Marvel's First Family is sought out for help by an unlikely source - the Mole Man!  See what the FF's oldest enemy wants with them in Fantastic Four #575.

Irredeemable #10 is the latest in Mark Waid's dementedly awesome look at the world's greatest superhero-turned-evil maniac.  Get on board this series if you haven't already!

Dara Brighton is determined to kill Malia, the air goddess, to avenge the death of her family in The Sword #21.  But this target is proving to be a much more challenging enemy than the others.

Daredevil and his followers in the Hand take on a murderous group of cops in the streets of New York in Daredevil #504.

Collections

The patrons of the House that are trapped within its walls finally discover the reason why in House of Mystery vol. 3: The Space Between.  But can they do anything about it besides entertain each other with macabre tales (as illustrated by some of the best artists in comics)?

The Losers vol. 1 and 2 collects the first twelve issues of the formerly out-of-print series.  Before the movie comes out (and that's going to be pretty soon), be sure to check out this thrilling action-jammed story of a bad-ass Special Forces unit that the CIA tried to kill.  They've got nothing to lose, so they're going to find out why their own agency wanted to see them dead.  Brandon couldn't stop geeking out over this book while it was coming out... ask him why!

In the Secret Warriors vol. 2: God of Fear, God of War Premiere Hardcover, Baron Strucker and Norman Osborn strike a devil's bargain to eliminate Nick Fury and his underground army of super-powered humans.  But what happens when Osborn has a breach in national security that only Fury can root out?  Double-crosses, thrills, and superspy action, that's what!

More classic tales of the DC Universe's power ring-bearing interstellar police are collected in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps vol. 2.

The Complete World War Robot collects both volumes of Ashley Wood's epic battle between the last of humanity against the robot population.

The second half of Brian Michael Bendis's amazingly good private investigator series set in the Marvel Universe is collected in Alias: Ultimate Collection Book 2.  Jessica Jones finally tells her story, about a girl who dreamed of becoming a superhero - only to have one twisted villain ruin her dream and life.

Batman: Under the Cowl collects tales featuring different Batmen that have donned the cape and cowl, including tales by Bill Willingham, Grant Morrison, and Geoff Johns.

JSA: Strange Adventures collects the 2004 miniseries for the first time.  In it, Johnny Thunder plans on chronicling the adventures of the world's first superteam.  But Lord Dynamo and his legion of robot zombies has other plans for the JSA.  Robot zombies?  How is that possible?

Indie Spotlight

There's already been plenty of hype for Afrodisiac.  But just in case you haven't heard anything about it, Austin Books has the intel you need.  Afrodisiac is the baddest mutha-SHUT YO MOUTH!  Hey, we're just talkin' 'bout Afrodisiac.  Anyways, this book is a tribute to the insane blaxploitation movies of the 70s, comics, and everything that makes trash culture from kung fu to Dracula awesome.  So yeah, we're all over this one.

Thirteen Going On Eighteen: The John Stanley Library collects the idiosyncratic strip about the machinations of the modern teenager in the early 60s.  Stanley left his work on the Dell Little Lulu comics for the hilarious sitcom-style misdaventures of Val and Judy, and gave the world a timeless telling of how teenagers will always treat each other and everyone else.

Hotwire #3 is the latest of the anthology comix series that appeals to anyone that has ever really dug an underground comic.  Look for art by Mark Dean Veca, Johnny Ryan, Mats?!, Sam Henderson, Carol Swain, Craig Yoe, Michael Kupperman, Mack White, and many more!

Books, Magazines, etc.

The new issues of Previews and Wizard are available.  Get excited about the comics you'll be seeing in the next couple months!

A new printing of Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos collects tons of examples of the terrifying/awesome character paintings done for pretty much all the early issues of Forrest Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland mag.  If you love classic monster movies, you need this book.

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Add to your collection of mini figures with the Marvel Minimate Web Armor Spider-Man.  Then wonder how he was able to get in all those crazy webslinger positions while suited up in heavy metal.

Need a pick-me-up while shopping for your comics this week?  Get yourself a Pac-Man Bonus Fruit Energy Drink!  They're good for the big points, ya know.

The latest in the DC Direct series of big, totally sweet action figures is the Batman Beyond 1/6 scale Deluxe Collector Figure.  They don't make enough toys for this cool, futuristic Batman, but this one aims to correct that.

The latest DC bust you'll be wanting to add to you collection is the Heroes of the DC Universe: The Flash Bust.  The Scarlet Speedster is based on a design by Gary Frank, and looks... well... speedy, of course.

The Tim Burton Toxic Boy 7-inch Vinyl Figure joins his colleagues Oyster Boy and Stain Boy, both of whom are already available.

The Back to the Future Minimates: Enchantment Under the Sea 2-pack includes a "Johnny B Good"-rockin' Marty McFly... and his young, hot mom.  This toy set is going to give us a complex.
 

Restocks

We just received a few more copies of The Last Days of American Crime #1.  If you think you missed the first issue of this excellent new miniseries, you're in luck.  Don't miss out again!

Sgt.  Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 - It's a rougher copy, but hey... first Nick Fury!

Classic Marvel and DC War Comics - Fury, Sgt. Rock, The Losers, Captain Storm, Captain Savage, Haunted Tank... pretty much every awesome war comic of the 60s was represented in this collection.  Plus lots of Charlton, like Fightin' Army and Fightin' Marines!

Batman and Detective Comics - Oh yeah, LOTS of cool Silver Batman issues to add to your collection.  Look for the "Joker Kills Batman on the Moon" cover on our Showcase Wall!

Tons of Silver DC - We bulked up considerably in our collection of Adventure Comics, Action Comics, Aquaman, The Atom, Brave and the Bold, Superman, and many other favorite titles.

Scads of Silver Marvel - Amazing Spider-Man, key issues of Captain America (including beautiful copies of the three Steranko issues),  Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor... if it's from the Marvel Age of Comics, it's represented here!

There's a lot more, too.  Many of these issues are already filed into our Showcase boxes, and many more still have been filed into our Back Issue Bins.  There's lots of "new" classic stock, so be on the lookout!

We've also received a lot of classic Dell Westerns based on the classic cowboy shows of the late 50s.  Saddle up and head on in to eyeball some of your faves at our Showcase counter.

And for you Alan Moore fans, we acquired a collection including a great copy of Superman Annual #11 ("The Man Who Has Everything"), Big Numbers #1 & 2, and the full run of Watchmen!

Comics on Time This Week

Just a quick note to let you know that comics were NOT delayed for the MLK holiday, and that all this week's new books will be out on Wednesday when we open at 9 am.

So we'll see ya then, or shortly after!

FREE Grant Morrison #1 Comic This Wednesday 01/20/10

Fan (and store)-favorite writer Grant Morrison is doing a new series for Vertigo, the DC imprint that published his wildly influential Invisibles series, WE-3 and The Filth miniseries, the Kill Your Boyfriend one-shot, and his game-changing runs on Animal Man and Doom Patrol (amongst even more titles).

So to celebrate Joe the Barbarian #1, Grant Morrison's latest Vertigo series, we're giving it away.  Really.

With any NEW COMIC purchase (a comic that shipped this week), you'll get a FREE Joe the Barbarian #1.  Not bad, right?  But this offer is for ONE DAY ONLY.  Afterwards, you'll have to pony up for it.  And pull lists don't count, you actually have to buy your comics on Wednesday.  So be sure to be here on New Comics Day Wednesday this week!

For more about Joe the Barbarian, see Brad's Pick of the Week below!

Pull List Link, Features

Have your books set aside at your convenience with the Austin Books & Comics pull list.

You can also use it as a printable checklist where you  check the boxes of interested books and click the "Create Printable List" button at the top right of the page to produce your own shopping list.  This feature will help you to not miss any books while still allowing you to select your own copies from the shelf.

ABC on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?

Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics we just bought, or some of the bizarre ads/ panels in them?

Have a question and want an answer from a comics expert?

You can do all that by following us on Twitter, and/or by becoming one of our fans at Facebook.  We'll keep you updated on what's happenin' the good ol' fashioned way - tweets!

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Comics

Anyone that felt the past couple weeks have been a little light will want to take note this week, because there are a lot of high-profile books coming out!

Surely you saw we're giving away Joe the Barbarian #1 with the purchase of any NEW COMIC this Wednesday (only).  Read more about Grant Morrison's intriguing new Vertigo series below in Brad's Pick of the Week!

Find out where the Captain America of the 50s has been in Captain America #602, and see how Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes deal with an old enemy-turned revolutionary.  Two Americas begins here!

After a shocking attack on Oa, Guy Gardner is furious enough to become a Red Lantern!  Will the remaining Corps members be able to save Guy from being forever lost to his rage?  Check out Green Lantern Corps #44 for more Blackest Night madness!

Siege continues in Dark Avengers #13, where the secrets of the Sentry are revealed.  How mad is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, and who is really in control of the man that has the power of one million exploding suns?  Dark Wolverine #82 also ties in with Siege, where Daken makes decisions about who he really is.  But maybe the best time to do that isn't while attacking Asgard, the home of the gods!

The Flashes learn more about their role in the battle against Nekron in Blackest Night: The Flash #2.  Meanwhile, Captain Cold is on the run... from the Black Lantern Rogues!

Mysterio returns in Amazing Spider-Man #618.  But wait... isn't he dead?  And why are deceased mobsters coming back to swing the favor in a gang war?  Spider-Man attempts to discover how the Master of Illusions has pulled the greatest trick of his criminal career as The Gauntlet continues!

Another DC title rises from the grave, and writer James Robinson returns to the series that made him a fan-favorite with Starman #81.  In the one-issue revival we've most been looking forward to, a Black Lantern Starman is causing havoc in Opal City.  And the only person that has the slightest chance of stopping him is... Shade?

Wolverine and Fantomex hunt a stray Predator X under New York City in Uncanny X-Men #520, but have they become the hungry beast's prey?  And Utopia is sinking, and all the mutants are in for a major disaster if one of their own doesn't stop it soon.

Flycatcher judges a trial in Fables #92, and death is the penalty if the accused is found guilty.  Will the peaceful King Ambrose be forced to spill blood in the idyllic kingdom of Haven?

Norman Osborn has his eyes on a powerful prize - the Cosmic Cube!  Now it's up to Hank Pym's Avengers to stop the Dark Avengers from claiming it in Mighty Avengers #33!

The magic-based heroes of the DCU face doom & destruction in Phantom Stranger #42, another title resurrected for one issue as part of the Blackest Night epic.  The Phantom Stranger and Blue Devil face the god-like Black Lantern Spectre in a hopeless battle.  And if that's not enough, Black Lantern Deadman possesses the Phantom Stranger to learn the secret of the most mysterious being in all of creation!

Fall of the Hulks kicks off in Hulk #19, when the Red Hulk and Thing battle it out in the Baxter Building!  But things go from catastrophic to worse when the new Frightful Four attacks.  And in Incredible Hulk #606, Bruce Banner makes a shocking discovery and  Skaar, the Son of Hulk, shows his true colors.  Plus, who's that greenskin fighting Dr. Doom?  We have Fall of the Hulks checklists available for those of you that want to see some epic smashing!

Robin goes undercover in Batman: Streets of Gotham #8 in a desperate attempt to discover who is behind a rash of child abductions.  But things go very wrong when he finds himself trapped in the psychotic serial killer Zsasz's slaughterhouse.

Spider-Woman #5 concludes the first arc of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's popular new series about a hero trying to re-discover who she is.  And there'll be plenty of chances for self-discovery when she encounters the Skrulls that stole her identity!

Vartox demands Power Girl's hand in marriage in Power Girl #8.  Too bad for him that she's having none of it, and is starting to get angry!

As Spacetime is being damaged, the Agents of Atlas seek out the Avengers for help.  They find them, but it's not the team they expected.  Captain America! Thor!  Iron Man! Giant Man!  The Wasp!  And... the Hulk!  Avengers vs. Agents of Atlas #1 kicks off the next explosive story starring one of our new favorite teams.  The Agents also appear in Thunderbolts #140, where they face off against Norman Osborn's team of killers.

Who is Lady Deadpool?  Find out in Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #7!

The strange journey of Conan creator Robert E. Howard's Puritanical avenger continues in Solomon Kane: Death's Black Riders #1.  Kane wants to help the gypsies of the Black Forest that are being targeted by vicious bandits, but a more dangerous evil is lurking within the woods... and it will slaughter them all if he can't stop it.

The Atom finds himself at what may be the most dangerous place in the world: the Joker's head!  See what happens in The Brave and the Bold #31.

It's greed, sex, demons, and dancing as John Constantine tries to help a girl live out her Bollywood dreams by stopping a horrible creature in Hellblazer #263.

Also look for Wolverine Weapon X #9, Incredible Hercules #140, Garth Ennis battlefields: Happy Valley #2, Web of Spider-Man #4, Nova #33, Deathlok #3, Realm of Kings: Inhumans #3, Star Wars: Dark Times #15, Superman Batman #68, Doctor Voodoo #4, Outsiders #26, and many more titles available this week!

Collections

It's been a year since the death of Captain America, and it's a different world now.  Sharon Carter and Bucky Barnes still search for answers.  The Red Skull is closer to seeing his plans through.  And Captain America: Road to Reborn leads to something big in Ed Brubaker's thrilling run on the Sentinel of Liberty's comic.

Young Liars vol. 3: Rock Life collects the final issues of David Lapham's twisted series about secret-keeping 20-somethings dancing towards oblivion to a violence, sex, and guitars concerto.  Danny will discover a secret that will change not just his obsession with Sadie, but everything.

Loki's plans for Asgard are coming to fruition in Thor vol. 3 Premiere Hardcover.  His heroic half-brother Thor has turned his back on his home, giving the God of Mischief the opportunity to set his plan into motion.  But Dr. Doom may have his own agenda concerning Asgard.

An untold tale of Malak and Revan (from the video game) is recounted in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic vol. 8 - Destroyer.

As the Fall of the Hulks really gets going this week, you may want to get caught up on what's been happening.  Look no further than Hulk: Fall of the Hulks Prelude!  In it, Red Hulk battles Iron Man, the origin of Skaar, the Son of Hulk is told, and the new Savage She-Hulk is introduced.

A group of dangerous super-villains crashes JLA headquarters... to turn themselves in?  Find out what has such dangerous mercenaries afraid for their lives in Justice League of America vol. 4: Sanctuary.  Guest-starring the Suicide Squad!

Last week, we received the No Hero tpb, featuring writer Warren Ellis's twist on superhero conventions.  This week, No Hero is available as a hardcover, and in a special signed edition!

When artist Barry Smith began penciling duties for Marvel's new Conan series in 1970, could he have possibly known that he would leave a permanent mental imprint of the Cimmerian in the collective imagination of pop culturedom?   Did he have any clue that it would propel his career, leading to his becoming one of the greatest artists in the medium?  Who knows?  But you can relive the experience with Dark Horse's The Barry Windsor-Smith Conan Archives vol. 1, the first of two hardcover volumes collecting the influential artist's run on Conan the Barbarian!

Classic tales of the macabre, chilling, and blood-curdling are collected as Creepy Archives vol. 5 continues the beautiful hardcover series reprinting the legendary horror mags of decades past!  Look for phenomenal, fearsome art from Steve Ditko, Reed Crandall, Angelo Torres, Alex Toth, and more!

Indie Spotlight

Rasl, the inter-dimensional art thief, is desperate to stop the Lizard Faced Man from harming his loved ones.  But he's got limited time before he's to deliver his secrets to the killer.  In Rasl #6, he goes back to swiping art to raise funds in order to stop the Lizard Faced Man!

Books, Magazines, etc.

A new issue of the long-running adult fantasy anthology magazine Heavy Metal is available this week.

Visions of Never collects the works of six fantasy artists into one volume, and has received praise from industry legends like Steranko, Brom, and Greg Hildebrandt.

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

The DC Dynamics: Wonder Woman Statue begins a new series from DC Direct.  This piece, sculpted by Tim Bruckner, features the Amazon Princess emerging from a billow of cloud.  Every Wonder Woman collector will want one of these babies.

Remember seeing those unusual, squat figures from DC Direct - Blammoids?  Well the first wave is out this week, and you'll want to scramble to collect Batman, the Joker, Green Lantern, Sinestro, Aquaman, and Firestorm.

The Marvel Select Best of Assortment Series 4 makes available once again the detailed figures of Dr. Doom, Black Cat, and Thanos.  These Best Ofs usually sell out, too.  So don't miss them a second time!

Restocks

The demand for David Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp has been high since the graphic novel topped so many "Best of 2009" lists - including  Joe Gross's rundown over at the Austin American-Statesman.  Mazzucchelli's sense of design and form speaks as much as the words, drawing each character in a manner that suits their mannerisms and profession.  And now it's back in stock at Austin Books & Comics.

Recently Acquired

Here's a massive update to make up for a few weeks of not having news about our recent buys!

If you're on our Classic Comics Showdown e-mail list, then you already know about the "trunk collection" and all the Silver Age comics that we giddily hauled out of two big honkin' trunks (and a tub).

If you're not on the list, you should sign up for it at the Austin Books webpage.  Then you'll be amongst the first to know about our crazy classic acquisitions.  We put modern classics in there, too.

What was in the trunks?  Good question.  Here's the answer:

A very sharp copy of Silver Surfer #1.  But it's already been claimed by someone on our Classic Comics Showdown e-mail list.  See why you should be on it?

Sgt.  Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 - It's a rougher copy, but hey... first Nick Fury!

Classic Marvel and DC War Comics - Fury, Sgt. Rock, The Losers, Captain Storm, Captain Savage, Haunted Tank... pretty much every awesome war comic of the 60s was represented in this collection.  Plus lots of Charlton, like Fightin' Army and Fightin' Marines!

Batman and Detective Comics - Oh yeah, LOTS of cool Silver Batman issues to add to your collection.  Look for the "Joker Kills Batman on the Moon" cover on our Showcase Wall!

Tons of Silver DC - We bulked up considerably in our collection of Adventure Comics, Action Comics, Aquaman, The Atom, Brave and the Bold, Superman, and many other favorite titles.

Scads of Silver Marvel - Amazing Spider-Man, key issues of Captain America (including beautiful copies of the three Steranko issues),  Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor... if it's from the Marvel Age of Comics, it's represented here!

There's a lot more, too.  Many of these issues are already filed into our Showcase boxes, and many more still have been filed into our Back Issue Bins.  There's lots of "new" classic stock, so be on the lookout!

We've also received a lot of classic Dell Westerns based on the classic cowboy shows of the late 50s.  Saddle up and head on in to eyeball some of your faves at our Showcase counter.

And for you Alan Moore fans, we acquired a collection including a great copy of Superman Annual #11 ("The Man Who Has Everything"), Big Numbers #1 & 2, and the full run of Watchmen!

Brad's Pick of the Week

FREE ON WEDNESDAY

JOE THE BARBARIAN #1 (OF 8) (MR)

DC COMICS Written by Grant Morrison
Art by Sean Murphy
Cover by Sean Murphy

Having an overactive imagination can get a kid through a lot, but it doesn't change the facts: Joe's still the kid
in school that can't fit in. He's the victim of bullies.
His dad died overseas in the Iraq war. And then
there's the Type 1 diabetes he has to live with.

So is it insulin-deprived delirium or something much, much bigger that transports Joe to a land inhabited by all his toys - from ninja commandos to action robots to magical knights to star fleet captains? Is Joe really the savior of this wild fantasyland that's been held under siege by dark magic and evil forces? With the help of
a samurai rodent, is he ready to take back besieged castles and win the freedom of an oppressed people?
Or is he just an over imaginative boy who could die if
he doesn't take his meds?

White-hot writer Grant Morrison follows up his phenomenal BATMAN AND ROBIN with an epic adventure that's Home Alone by way of Lord of the
Rings accompanied with to-die-for art by future superstar Sean Murphy (YEAR ONE: BATMAN/SCARECROW, HELLBLAZER).

Intergalactic Nemesis Signing!

What's Intergalactic Nemesis, you ask?

Is it a comic book?

A radio serial?

A live-action stage show?

It's actually all of the above, and Intergalactic Nemesis creator/ writer Jason Neulander will be in store from 5 to 7 pm this Wednesday the 13th.  Joining Neulander is Nemesis artist Tim Doyle, also of Nakatomi Inc. fame.  And we'll have plenty of copies of Intergalactic Nemesis #1 available to get signed.

The adventure begins now, so don't miss out on the experience Austin is going to be talking about!

Pull List Link, Features

Have your books set aside at your convenience with the Austin Books & Comics pull list.

You can also use it as a printable checklist where you  check the boxes of interested books and click the "Create Printable List" button at the top right of the page to produce your own shopping list.  This feature will help you to not miss any books while still allowing you to select your own copies from the shelf.

Follow Us on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?  Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics Brandon just bought?  You can do all that by following us on Twitter here.  Plus, you wouldn't want to miss out on wonderful insights, like someone wanting to sell us a box of comics that had been used as a litter box for years.

You can also become one of our fans at Facebook.  All the cool kids are doing it.  And we promise, we won't pester you about joining any Mafias, Farmvilles, or Sorority Houses.

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Comics

Something big and bad is charging your way, Peter Parker.  The Rhino wrecks havoc in Amazing Spider-Man #617, and tries to make a name for himself by killing... the Rhino?!  Spider-Man continues the fight of his life in this latest installment of "The Gauntlet!"

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight #31, the war against Twilight heats up when Buffy and her Slayers defend themselves against his warriors and the Tibetan goddesses Willow had summoned as allies.  And if you've heard the rumors about Twilight's identity, you might want to get caught up on this book, ASAP.  The Whedonverse is about to go completely berserk.

The Dark Knight has an unlikely ally in the Penguin when they try to stop the murderous chaos of Black Mask in Batman #695.  Plus, one of Batman's adversaries from the past returns!

The crazy-popular "Stark: Disassembled" storyline continues in Invincible Iron Man #22!  Tony Stark has trapped himself in his own mind, and the heroes of the Marvel U. are doing everything in their power to bring him back online!  Guest starring Dr. Donald Blake (Thor, natch) and Dr. Strange, this arc has strong ties to the events of the Siege epic.

It's not just heroes coming back from the dead in Blackest Night... it's comic titles, too!  Since last week's Suicide Squad and Weird Western Tales, we're loving the concept of bringing back canceled comics for single Blackest Night tie-in final issues.  This week, Catwoman #83 sees the return of the villain Selina Kyle killed - the original Black Mask!  As a Black Lantern, he's an even deadlier enemy, and potentially unkillable!

Also returning from the comics grave this week is Power of Shazam #48!  Osiris was brutally murdered in the pages of 52 (it was REALLY vicious).  But now he's returned to terrorize a powerless Billy and Mary Batson.  Will Captain Marvel be in time to save them?

The Marvels Project #5 continues Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting's retelling of the origin of the Marvel Universe!  Project: Rebirth is in ruins, but not before it's first and only success - the Super-Soldier Captain America!  The first mission of the Sentinel of Liberty is to head to New York, where Namor is on the loose and the Angel finds his hero-killer.

Last week, the Suicide Squad comic returned for one issue... but the story isn't done yet!  Secret Six #17 continues the Blackest Night tie-in story in which the Fiddler returns as a Black Lantern, along with other deceased Squad members, to destroy Deadshot and whatever Squad/ Six teammates happen to be anywhere near him!  The dead have risen, and they're seriously ticked.

X-Man has returned, and is not happy with how he finds our world has changed.  So he goes to Norman Osborn for answers in Dark X-Men #3... but he'll have to get through the Dark X-Men and Avengers first.  He is pretty powerful... but is it enough?

Assassins stalk Tom Taylor in the latest issue of the new Vertigo hit series, The Unwritten #9.  But the children will be his saviors, unless the revealed Inside Man makes good on his intentions.  Get caught up with the recent paperback collection and issues!

Mutants are struggling to adjust to life on an island sanctuary in Nation X #2.  Jubilee returns, while Gambit has trouble getting used to the idea of being a citizen of a new utopia.  All while No-Girl tries to stop an enemy that exists amongst them.

Bras is enjoying his journey through rural Brazil in Daytripper #2, continuing the new Vertigo series written and drawn by brothers Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon.  But his life gets a lot more complicated when he meets sultry Olinda.

Jason Aaron's whacked-out Punishermax series picks up where Garth Ennis had left off, and we're loving every hyperviolent issue of it!  Punishermax #3 introduces downright terrifying Wilson Fisk, the self-appointed Kingpin, to Frank Castle.  And that's just not going to be pretty.

Superboy has been looking for the good in Lex Luthor since his return.  Now in Adventure Comics #6, he may get his wish.  But what's good in the eyes of Luthor may be very bad for everyone else.

Strange #3 sees the journey of failed Stephen Strange and his young apprentice to a small Southern town where a ritual threatens the lives of every young woman in the state.  Will the former Sorcerer Supreme have any hope of saving them?

Batman has a new ally in his fight against crime in Gotham.  But the women of his life put him in an unenviable position in writer/ director Kevin Smith's Batman: Widening Gyre #4.

Get a glimpse of the forthcoming Alan Moore horror series that continues his re-imagining of the H.P. Lovecraft mythos begun in The Courtyard with the Alan Moore Neonomicon Hornbook!

Psylocke is planning on killing the man that took her life away.  But in Psylocke #3, she discovers someone else wants him dead, too.  Now it's a race against a super-powered assassin to be the one to kill Matsu'o.

Nightwing and Flamebird return to Metropolis to find General Zod's sleeper agent in Action Comics #885.

X-Men: Origins - Cyclops #1 follows the life of Scott Summers, from the first developments of his mutant power through his early years as a member of the X-Men.  Featuring this week's Austin Books Cover of the Week by Adi Granov!

The new Batgirl and the new Robin, Damian Wayne, work together to stop innocents from being run through life-and-death "games" in Gotham's Devil's Square neighborhood in Batgirl #6.

Darick Robertson writes and draws the Conan the Cimmerian: The Weight of the Crown one-shot, in which Conan joins a band defending a land ruled by the Mad King of Gaul.  But the men around him are starting to think Conan would be a much better successor to the crown than the Mad King's son.

Things are about to blow up in DMZ #49, and shocking events are going to unfold as "Hearts and Minds" concludes!

Also be on the lookout for Booster Gold #28, Angel #29, SWORD #3, Black Widow: Deadly origin #3, Terry Moore's Echo #18, Aliens Vs. Predators: Three World War #1, Spider-Man and Secret Wars #2, REBELS #12, and many more great titles available this week!

Collections

Oh, Warren Ellis.  How we love your crazy.  Your mad genius has spun so many of our favorite comics, we have no doubt you'll someday be incarcerated for the trans-continental poisoning/ opening of impressionable young minds.  But until then, we're thrilled to see No Hero collected.  Ellis bends all hero conventions (again... remember what he did in Black Summer?) by attributing the legacy of a powerful group of heroes to one man and his brave new drugs.  But now they're ready for a fall.  And how badly will another man want justice, and how far will he go for it?

Now in softcover, Ultimatum is the miniseries that brought sweeping change to the Ultimate Universe!  The world is devastated by nightmarish natural disasters.  The world's most dangerous enemy is behind those calamities.  And as heroes fight to save a world, many will fall.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Ultimatum focuses on Peter Parker's view of the end of the world.  An ultimatum has been issued by a powerful being, followed by disasters ravaging across the globe.  Who will live to fight on, and who will be lost in this final collection of the series that changed a Universe?

In Blade of the Immortal vol. 22: Footsteps, To atone for his failures and sins, Kagimura has one month to destroy Anotsu and his crew -- or he must commit suicide.  A crazy-huge cast of memorable characters and twisting, woven plot lines set this Dark Horse-published manga apart from any other!

Smashing out of your tv and into your comics collection comes Batman: The Brave and the Bold!  The first collection of the comic based on the hit cartoon features the Caped Crusader teaming-up with the greatest heroes of the DC Universe to stop the strangest foes imaginable.  This is one of our top recommends for all-ages hero books, so check it out!

Before the new TV show begins, check out the Vertigo comic series it's based on!  Human Target: Chance Meetings re-introduces us to Christopher Chance, a man who makes his living by impersonating people with a high price on their head. Dodging assassination attempts is just a day in the life for a guy who has more danger, beautiful women, and thrills before breakfast than most people will ever know!

New York is about to have one of those days in the Spider-Man: Election Day tpb.  The election for the city's Mayor is upon us, and you won't believe who the people choose.  Plus, the search for the Spider-Tracer Killer leads police to the apartment door of Peter Parker.  All this, and the special back-up story from the famous Barack Obama/ Spider-Man issue!  And if you're staying up to date with the hardcovers, Spider-Man: Return of the Black Cat reintroduces lovely Felicia Hardy into Spidey's already-complicated life!

Collected for the first time, Doc Savage: The Silver Pyramid is the tale of the classic pulp hero in a modern world that spins just fine without him.  Until alien invaders arrive, that is.  Then it's out of retirement and into action in this miniseries by Dennis O'Neil, with early art from Adam and Andy Kubert.

The origin of Hercules is finally told in Incredible Hercules: Dark Reign!  Plus, while America is under Norman Osborn's control, New Olympus falls under the rule of Hera.  And she is not a fan of ol' Herc, as you'll see!

An alien comes to L.A., and only the team's own interstellar being Karolina can stop him from his deadly mission in Runaways: Escape to New York.  Plus, the Runaways hurry to Cloak's aid in NYC when he is accused of a crime that draws the attention of the New Avengers!

the Atomic Age heroes of the Marvel Universe have a lot of tough times ahead in Agents of Atlas: Turf Wars.  Namorita is sent to have words with her cousin, the Sub-Mariner.  Then the team has to rescue their leader Jimmy Woo from the deadly talons of Jade Claw.  And if that's not enough, would you believe the incredible Hulk?  This series is pure Marvel action as you like it!

Indie Spotlight

The art of Jodi Bernet really shines Torpedo, a graphic novel that follows the life of a gangster from childhood to his criminal adult life.  Written by Enrique Abuli, Torpedo is a journey through a life misspent, with stops at all the key moments.

Books, Magazines, etc.

New magazines this week include classic comics retrospectives Back Issue and Alter Ego, Toyfare, and Doctor Who Magazine.

Look in our artbook section for William Stout: Dinosaur Discoveries, in soft and hardcover editions.  The famed paleoartist who has worked on such movies as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Pan's Labyrinth illustrates new species discovered in the last 20 years!

A new issue of the creeptacular Famous Monsters: The Movie Art of Basil Gogos collects more of the macabre, wonderful paintings by the long-time fright-mag art master.

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Keep your change in style with the Doctor Who Talking TARDIS Money Bank.  Who knows, maybe your cash will go on amazing adventures to fantastic times and places.  Is that a selling point?

The latest Batman: Black & White statue is styled after the art of Lee Burmejo (Joker, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel).  So yes, it will look awesome.

In JSA All-Stars #2, a team member goes missing after their first major battle.  Plus, Power Girl and Magog are going to have to resolve their differences.  Will it be with fists?  It isn't going to be a tea party, we'll tell you that much.

Collections

A great way to get back into the swing of everyday life after the holidays is with a new volume of one of your favorite comics.  May we suggest... The Walking Dead vol. 11!  In the latest chapter of Robert Kirkman's ongoing zombie-filled saga, the remaining survivors make for Washington D.C..  But as we've seen before, anyone at any time could be the next to fall.

One of our favorite comic stories gets the hardcover treatment from Boom Studios this week.  Follow the adventures of a poor duck from Scotland who comes to America to find his destiny... and his fortune!  The Life and Times of Uncle Scrooge is the classic Don Rosa story that filled in all the blanks between the original Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge comics, and draws parallels to Scrooge's life and the growth of America as a country.  Wonderful stuff!

The Unwritten vol. 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity collects the first story arc of the latest Vertigo hit series!  Tom Taylor's life sucks.  He's been compared to the boy-wizard of the same name from his father's book series all his life.  But there may be some truth to the fiction, and Tom goes on a worldwide journey to find out who he is.  He'll do it by visiting places where fiction has shaped reality.  Get hooked by reading the first issue on the Vertigo website!

The Chill is the latest entry from the new Vertigo Crime imprint.  A serial killer is on the loose in New York City.  The police and FBI suspect a gorgeous woman of being the killer, but every eye-witness describes her differently.  And only a beat-cop named Martin Cleary knows what is really going on.

Marvel preps us for their big event with Siege Prelude, a collection of various issues and stories leading to what promises to be one of the most talked-about epics of 2010!

Norman Osborn wants what is locked away in Tony Stark's brain in the Invincible Iron Man vol. 3: World's Most Wanted Book 2 premium hardcover.  He wants it bad enough to offer a billion-dollar bounty on Stark's head, which brings all of Iron Man's villains running.  Things get really bad for Stark and everyone he knows in one of Marvel's most popular titles!

The ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes swell when new members join the team in Essential Avengers vol. 7, collecting classic Avengers tales in a low-cost black & white format.

Scooter finds out there is a pirate treasure hidden in the Muppet Theater... but now he has to keep the talent from tearing the place apart to get to it in The Muppet Show Comic Book: The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson!

When Frank Miller returned to the title he had already forever changed, he wrote and drew a  story of loss and redemption called Daredevil: Born Again.  And now this landmark tale is collected in a new single-volume edition.  Kingpin is given the identity of his greatest enemy by a shocking source, and he uses it to systematically destroys the Man Without Fear!

Fans of classic X-Men stories shouldn't miss the new hardcover treatments for X-Men vs. Avengers, X-Men vs. Fantastic Four, and X-Men: Mutant Massacre!

And if you like the popular pirate adventure manga One Piece, there are FIVE volumes of it available this week!

Indie Spotlight

Books, Magazines, etc.

The skip week set the end-of-the-month mags back one week, so look for this month's Previews and Wizard on Wednesday.

The two big pulp reprints are available this week in our classic comic section: Doc Savage and The Shadow!

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Wolverine's most hated enemy gets his own nifty-looking toy with the release of the Marvel Select Sabretooth figure.  Reminiscent of the classic 90s look, this bulky Victor Creed looks like he can rip your other toys to pieces.

Tim Burton's Oyster Boy and Stain Boy each make it to the world of vinyl toys, and they look very cool.  Perfect for the desk/shelf/ head of your favorite spooky kid (or adult).

As for the collectible figurine magazine lines, DC Superheroes figurines this week include Poison Ivy, Solomon Grundy, and Dr. Light.  The Classic Marvel line is made more robust with the addition of Destroyer, Man-Wolf, and Ikaris.

Last Saturday was crazy, right?  Our sale was super busy, everyone was looking for last-minute gifts and deals, and everything was hectic!  Some of you may have missed it because of your busy holiday plans or travel. But don't worry... we're doing it again this Wednesday.

That's right!  If you missed our Christmas Sale, we're going to be doing 25% OFF ALL TRADE PAPERBACKS & GRAPHIC NOVELS this Wednesday.  We get so used to seeing all of our regulars on New Comics Day that we wanted to make sure we gave you a reason to stop in!

It's our last sale of 2009, too.  Yes, it's the next-to-last-day of 2009 - but we assure you a sale like this is not going to happen again for a while.

Keep in mind the sale DOES include hardcovers.  If you've been eyeballing some of those Absolute Editions, now is the time.  Manga is 25% off, too.

And don't forget all the new stuff to spend your Christmas cash on

Spruce up your space/ self/ life with cool comic book schwag!  Check out the cool new stuff we have to put Grannie's gift of awesome Christmas cash towards.

Follow Us on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?  Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics Brandon just bought?  You can do all that by following us on Twitter.  Plus, you wouldn't want to miss shenanigans like this:

You can also become one of our fans at Facebook.  All the cool kids are doing it.  And we promise, we won't pester you about joining any Mafias, Farmvilles, or Sorority Houses.

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Comics

Oh, DC.  How very, very clever of you to release Blackest Night #6 during the skip week.  If you're as caught up in this crazy blockbuster series as we are, you'll be in this week regardless of the sale just to see what happens next.  And although we've had this issue all week, no Austin Books employees have been allowed to read it (perks?  what perks?).  Why?  It's a top secret issue!  But the text on the cover is very intriguing...

Also available will be the Blackest Night #6 variant covers!  We still have our new, low variant prices in effect, too!  The 1 in 25 variant is available for just $6.99, and the 1 in 100 variant is $79.99.

We sold out of Fall of the Hulks Alpha a week or so after it came out, but fear not!  This week, Marvel is also being very clever and releasing an Ed McGuinness variant cover for the sold out issue.  And although it's a limited variant, we'll have it available for just $3.99!

And if you're not sick of the holiday season yet, there is also a Fall of the Hulks Gamma Santa Hulk variant cover by Ed McGuinness.  And yes, it's $3.99, too.

Lastly, be sure to stop in to get your free Marvel Comics calendar!  We were surprised at how classy-looking it is.  We expected ads on every page, but it really is a calendar you would want to put up and admire all year long!  Get it this Wednesday - while supplies last, of course.

Collections

Save 25% all day Wednesday!  Here's an Austin Books suggestion to get you started: we just received a restock of the very in-demand Robert Crumb: Book of Genesis hardcover.  Every time we get in a pretty good-sized stock, they sell out.  Now's your chance to get what is easily the hottest book of the year for 25% off!  See the adaptation of some of the most important stories ever by an underground comics legend!

Indie Spotlight

With no new Wolverine comics in this week, try something different!  We have a huge selection of indie comics that may change the way you appreciate comics!

Books, Magazines, etc.

Take a spin by our newly-alphabetized (finally!) Art Book shelf, or Classic Comic Creator section.  They're much easier to navigate.  We also brought our "How To" section of books out of storage, and have a section dedicated to them.

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Lots of new t-shirt designs and merch in stock!

There's a whole lot of rage pent up in the Fall of the Hulks by Marko Djurdjevic Poster.  The stunning image is a green and red tribute to the Hulks that will look awesome on your wall.

We Went a Little T-Shirt Crazy...

We ordered a LOT of new t-shirt designs!  Choose from the full spectrum of Lantern logos, NEW Captain America designs and literally dozens more.  Some are even long-missing classics.  Find them around the tops of the walls throughout the store.

Yep, we have the above design!

Huge Toon Tumblers Restock

For us, there's nothing quite like sipping a cool, refreshing beverage from a pint glass with Dr. Strange on it, or the classic X-Men team of the 70s, or Batman.  And that's why we're huge fans of the Toon Tumblers series of glasses featuring all the best-known (and some more obscure) heroes of the Marvel and DC Universes.

We've restocked many of the glasses we've been out of (just in time for the holiday shopping season to begin!).  Plus, there's even some new designs available, like the very awesome Golden/ Silver Age 70th Anniversary of Captain America Glass.  We've got the latest round of DC Glasses, too.  Check out these cool new designs including Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Aquaman, JLA, JSA and Black Lightning.

Pull List Link, Features

Have your books set aside at your convenience with the Austin Books & Comics pull list.

You can also use it as a printable checklist where you  check the boxes of interested books and click the "Create Printable List" button at the top right of the page to produce your own shopping list.  This feature will help you to not miss any books while still allowing you to select your own copies from the shelf.

Follow Us on Twitter and Facebook

Want to stay on top of what new comics are coming in as we find out ourselves?  Interested in seeing what crazy rare showcase comics Brandon just bought?  You can do all that by following us on Twitter here.  Plus, you wouldn't want to miss shenanigans like this:


(Yep, we have Captain America hoodies in stock.)

You can also become one of our fans at Facebook.  All the cool kids are doing it.  And we promise, we won't pester you about joining any Mafias, Farmvilles, or Sorority Houses.

Saving Books

A reminder that we do save books! In fact if you are headed out of town, we can set aside books until your return. Please reply to this email with your selected list of items. They will be set aside under your name until you are ready. You will even get a confirmation email. Pretty cool, huh? It's like a pull- service... only reliable!

Even better -- you are not obligated to buy the books you ask us to save. Just want to check something out? Afraid if you wait it'll be gone? However you would like to handle it is fine by us. You can maintain the same Austin Books style stress-free shopping experience without being on the hook for something you just wanted to review. Gotta like it.

This pull service is meant as to assist you in your weekly comic purchases not to replace your shopping entirely.  If you do not stop by to pick up comics out of your bag within a three week time, we'll contact you and give you another week to pick up your books.  After that week, the comics go back out.

What's Shipping?

This list includes all product shipping this week from our Distributor, and although we order the vast majority of what is offered, we do not receive everything (with a particular note towards t-shirts, statues and toys). If you have interest in, or would like to know more about anything on this list, please email and we will fill you in.

And don't Forget, All TPBs & GNs (Including Manga and HCs) are 10% off Every day!

Norman Osborn's Avengers team faces an unstoppable foe in Dark Avengers #12. Seriously, they don't have a chance against a man that can control matter down to the molecular level.

Eric Shanower and Skottie Young continue their popular adaptations of one of the most beloved children's series of all time in The Marvelous Land of Oz #2.

Collections

The Rocketeer: The Complete Collection collects the entire adventures of artist Dave Stevens' pulp-style hero.  We've been really excited about this one, and so have a lot of you.  See the comics that inspired the hit movie, and the gorgeous artwork of the late Stevens with all-new coloring.

Secret Warriors vol. 1: Nick Fury, Agent of Nothing is now available in softcover.  Nick Fury used to be the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., but now finds himself on his own in a world full of tyranny.  So he hand-picks a team of inexperienced, unknown superheroes to be his soldiers in his war against HYDRA! Awesome superhero/ superspy action is the name of the game here, kids.

Deadpool was the one to get the vital intel on the Secret Invasion, but Norman Osborn swiped it and became a national hero.  Now in Deadpool vol. 2: Dark Reign, Wade wants a payoff from the new man in charge.  But Osborn doesn't have time for the Merc with a Mouth, so he sends Bullseye to take care of the problem!  Can you say extreme violence?

From Warren Ellis comes Gravel vol. 2:  The Major Seve.  Combat Magician William Gravel has carved his way through the Minor Seven, and is greeted with an invitation from the Major Seven!  But to join the Master Magicians of England, he needs to reform the group he just dismembered, and find out who in the Major Seven murdered the member he's to replace.  It's Murder, Magic, and Mayhem the Ellis way!

Fan-favorite writer Matt Fraction has a go at writing one of Marvel's greatest and most powerful heroes in Thor: Ages of Thunder.  The Thunder God decides he's not going to clean up the messes of his fellow Asgardians - including his father, Odin.  but that's not going to sit well, so Thor will be taught a lesson in humility he won't forget.

Norman Osborn sends his team of killers after one of their own in the Thunderbolts: Widowmaker Premium Hardcover.  But Songbird has learned a few dirty tricks in her days on the team, and realizes the best defense is sometimes a lethal offense.

Illyana sits on her throne as the ruler of Limbo, with S'ym and N'astirh at her side.  But in X-Infernus, the former Xavier student schemes and all hell is going to break loose.  If you enjoyed the Inferno X-Men crossover of the late 80s, don't miss this collection!

Hey Coheed and Cambria fans, Amory Wars vol. 2 is collected in the trade paperback format.  Now it's easy to get the entire Second Stage Turbine Blade story.

The comic based on the increasingly-popular sci-fi TV show Fringe is now available in a softcover collection!  FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, scientist Walter Bishop and his son Peter investigate the world of "fringe science," following suspicions that a scientific research company is experimenting on the general public.

When the world is Norman Osborn's oyster, Frank Castle is the only man who has a chance of taking out the Hood's expanding criminal empire in Punisher: Dead End.  Over in the Max version of our favorite gun-obsessed vigilante, Punisher: Frank Castle - Welcome to the Bayou takes Castle through a twisted, gumbo killfest filled with unsavory types.

Classic Silver Age adventures of the Amazon Princess are collected in Showcase Presents: Wonder Woman vol. 3.  There's a lot of issues crammed into these value-priced black & white collections, and we're always making sure we have them in stock.

Indie Spotlight

The enigmatic artist that helped define the Marvel Universe (especially the worlds of  Spider-Man and Dr. Strange) has more of his work collected and studied in the Art of Steve Ditko.  Judging from how fast last month's Strange Suspense sold, this is going to be a hot gift for the Ditko fans on your list.

The Complete Little Orphan Annie vol. 4 collects the classic strip's run from January 1932 through July 1933.  It's more rags-to-riches fun with the spunkiest kid in America!

Books, Magazines, etc.

The breathtaking fantasy works of Charles Vess are given their proper due in Drawing Down the Moon: The Art of Charles Vess, a new artbook from Dark Horse.  Vess has done works for Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clark, and George R. R. Martin, among others, and has influenced an entire generation of artists.

Toys, Statues, T-Shirts, Merchandise, etc.

Show the world how you really feel about top-heavy spellslingers with the Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose button pack.  Jim Balent really has a tendency to draw them... buoyant.

Not to take anything away from the really cool promotional rings we've been dishing out with various Blackest Night tie-in issues (still available!), but the JLA Trophy Room Green Lantern Rings Prop Replica is a pretty amazing piece for the truly hardcore GL fan.  Display each of the colored rings of the emotional spectrum in a light-up display with removable glass!

The Batman Family Multi-Part Statue's third piece is available this week, and features new Gotham sensation Batwoman and tried and true hero Commissioner James Gordon.

The Green Lantern 1/4 Scale Museum-Quality Statue is every bit as cool as the previous offerings (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman).  Actually, it's cooler, because fellow Ch'p stands beside Hal Jordan, ready for battle!  Ch'p is also removable, if you're in the minority of fans that thing a squirrel GL in overalls is ridiculous.  With or without his little buddy, this statue is AWESOME.

Recently Acquired

This just in!  This e-mail is an hour or so later than usual because we were buying a neat little lot of Generation One Transformers toys!  Four of the Dinobots (including grimlock), Hot Rod, Perceptor, Blaster, a beautiful, boxed Soundwave and the two big big names... Optimus Prime and Megatron!  They're pretty cool, and they'll make a really cool present.  If we don't sell 'em, we're sending them to Bankston's (our Waco store).  Let us know if you're interested!


And yes, that means we're interested in buying really cool stuff besides comics.  Set up an appointment if you're interested in selling oddball items.

If you want to be amongst the first to know what we're bringing in, sign up for the Classic Comics Showdown e-mail list!  Since you're already signed up for this list, send an email to info@austinbooks.com with your request and we'll add you to the list.  You can also edit your own profile through the Austin Books webpage.

Brad's Pick of the Week

INCORRUPTIBLE #1

BOOM ENTERTAINMENT
(W) Mark Waid (A) Neil Edwards

Last April BOOM! Studios showed the world that
"Mark Waid Is Evil" with the smash-hit series Irredeemable.

Now, Mark Waid is Incorruptible! Super villain Max Damage had an epiphany the day The Plutonian destroyed Sky City. When The Plutonian turned his back on humanity, Max Damage decided to step up.

 Now Max Damage has changed his name to Max Daring and turned from his formerly selfish ways
to become Incorruptible. The flip side to this year's break-out smash hit, examining the hard, difficult
road to changing your ways and making a difference
in the world.
