Hello!
Man, lots of stuff happening... I was in a wedding this weekend, my mom is coming into town, it's Naomi's birthday coming up this week and it's Halloween! Life never takes a break, does it? Well, it does but it's usually for good when that happens!
Still, I got to experience one of my small pleasures this week! Portland local Aron Nels Steinke has two, count 'em, TWO new books out and we have them in stock! I love this guy and his storytelling. It a very unique, cartoony style and I think it's a really great way to tell a story.
The first book of his is Big Plans #4, the next in his auto-bio comics. This one is about his girlfriend's laptop getting stolen and them going on a sting operation with the police to get it back! It's a great, small $5 book. It's a good read and goes well with his other Big Plans comics.
The other is Neptune, a 150+ page original graphic novel. I haven't had a chance to read it yet but it looks as great as all of his other stuff! I'm really looking forward to digging into if I have any time this weekend!
Well, have a happy Halloween and I promise to bore you with pictures of Naomi in her Green Lantern costume!
And you can still drop off comics for the troops or "Adopt-A-Box"!
http://www.bridgecitycomics.com/troops.htmlNow on to the good stuff! Here are my top picks for the week! And remember, a full list of what we're getting in on Wednesday is included at the end of the e-mail.
ABE SAPIEN ONE SHOT - In his earliest days as an agent of the B.P.R.D., Abe Sapien is sent on a simple mission to investigate a haunting following the death of a young boy. What he finds there is far stranger and more deadly. Click here for a free preview!
AMBUSH BUG YEAR NONE #7 - Our last issue of this stunning, award-winning literary masterpiece titled "Whatever Happened to AMBUSH BUG YEAR NONE #6?", takes us deep into the mind of Ambush Bug. The other 21 pages will be just as exciting, we promise.
ARKHAM REBORN #1 (OF 3) - Following the Black Mask's destruction of Arkham Asylum in BATTLE FOR THE COWL, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham has rebuilt the Asylum following the design of his mad Uncle Amadeus. Intended as a model for enlightened treatment of mental illness, the building soon mutates into a torture house, and the inmates find themselves trapped in a living hell. And when Jeremiah starts hearing a voice from beyond the grave, it becomes painfully clear that the lunatics really have taken over the Asylum! Beginning a 3-issue miniseries from the BATTLE FOR THE COWL: ARKHAM ASYLUM creative team of writer David Hine and artist Jeremy Haun!
BLACKEST NIGHT #4 (OF 8) - Summer's hottest event explodes in this critical issue! Hold on to your power rings, because the secrets behind the Blackest Night finally stand revealed! While Earth is evacuated, Hal Jordan embarks on a brave journey to the darkest depths to uncover the truth behind the Black Lanterns! You won't believe what he uncovers!
DARK AVENGERS ARES #1 (OF 3) - Ares - the God of War! His relentless brutality and his bloodthirsty drive to attain victory at any cost earned him only scorn from his fellow gods in the Greek pantheon, and exile from Olympus. After thousands of years living as a man and fighting in man's bloody, petty conflicts, Ares joined the ranks of Earth's mightiest heroes - the Avengers. Now Norman Osborn - the new head of the corrupted Dark Avengers and director of the paramilitary intelligence agency H.A.M.M.E.R. - wants the finest fighting force the God of War can provide. He charges Ares with hand-picking an elite squad of soldiers and beating them into the hardest, sharpest warriors ever to wield an M-60 in each hand. And that's exactly what Ares will need, when the goddess Hera provides him with a fighting chance to regain his standing in the pantheon's eyes. And Ares is taking his men with him into the battle of their lives...
DARK REIGN LIST PUNISHER ONE SHOT - Frank Castle has disabled much of Norman Osborn's criminal underground, tarnished his well-groomed public image and attempted to assassinate him. Today Osborn returns the favor. With Frank still torn apart from his battle with the Hood, Osborn dedicates himself and every single HAMMER resource to one goal: killing The Punisher. To make sure they don't fail, The Dark Avengers are going with them. Somebody has to die. Somebody will. Legendary artist John Romita Jr. returns to The Punisher, joined by regular series writer Rick Remender for this, the most ferocious battle of Frank Castle's life. Plus, a preview of the next exciting chapter of the Punisher.
GROO HOGS OF HORDER #1 (OF 4) - You probably think Groo the Wanderer is the most destructive force in his world. Not so! Even at his most inept, Groo cannot destroy a village faster than the Hogs of Horder. Theirs is an evil species that has existed forever, and that spreads death and annihilation to this day. They control your mind, they control your body, and worst of all, they control your money. So what happens when Groo comes nose to nose with them? Find out in this latest Groo miniseries from the same award-winning people who do every Groo miniseries: Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier with the aid of Stan Sakai and Tom Luth! Click here for a free preview!
WORLDS FINEST #1 (OF 4) - After tracking down a threat to The Man of Steel - and all of Metropolis - Red Robin must team up with the new Kryptonian Nightwing to end this mysterious threat and rescue Flamebird. But is all this just a red herring to distract the heroes from an even bigger threat to Gotham City and New Krypton? Be here to find out in this 4-issue miniseries from rising star writer Sterling Gates (SUPERGIRL) and artist Julian Lopez.
X NECROSHA - Death has come to the X-Men. The one true Black Queen has returned, and she wants nothing less than every soul of mutantkind...dead or alive. And everyone that's ever crossed Selene is going to pay. The dead rise, familiar faces haunt mutants across the world, and Selene takes her final steps into becoming a god. It all begins here in a full-length X-FORCE extravaganza, and continues in the pages of next month's issue of X-FORCE...but the shockwaves of this terrifying event will be felt in NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: LEGACY as well, and those reverberations begin here in two all-new bonus tales.
There ya go! As always, feel free to e-mail or call us if there's anything on the list that you'd like us to put aside for you!
Have a great week,
Michael, Kamarin, Lucas, Michael and Nate
