Dispatches from the Lair:
The Archenemy Comics Newsletter, Volume 13

How is everyone doing on this rainy, gloomy day? Now, just because the weather is a bit uninviting doesn't mean that a trip to the ol' comic shop is out of the question, right? I mean, we welcome you here with open arms.

With plenty more books heading into the back issue bin, it's a good time to remind everyone that, from now until the end of the year (that's Decemner 31st, boys and girls), all the books in the back issue bin are 50% off. That's right, a full half off the listed price. Now you can finally complete that Divine Right run you've been holding off on picking up. Don't lie; I know you collect 'em...

Some big news in the comic world... at least, to fans of Ultimate Spider Man. Longtime and fan favorite artist Mark Bagley (New Warriors, Amazing Spider Man, Thunderbolts, and many, many more) will be crossing over to DC Comics sometime next year. Bagley has been with Marvel for as many years as most Marvel fans can remember, so seeing him switching ships is both a little saddening and also very exciting. You can read a little more right here.

Also, for X-fans, Comic Book Resources has an exclusive interview with the man himself, Chris Claremont, regarding his latest plans for books like Exiles and New Excalibur. Have a look-see.

This week will see the following titles hit the shops: All-Star Superman, Booster Gold, Salvation Run, Wonder Woman, Mice Templar, Captain Marvel, Punisher, Thor, World War Hulk, and plenty more. Here's is Diamond's full list. Interested in how much you'll need to spend next week? Here's a sneak peek.

And don't forget, all you Silver Age afficionados - we still have some excellent Strange Tales books and some of their ilk for sale down here, so pick 'em up while you can! Doc Strange! Nick Fury! The Thing! Classic!

Anyway, 'til the next time, I'll see you in the funny books.

Steve!
