Hello everyone !
Going to be short and sweet this month. I have never had so much stuff going on at one time in my whole life as I do right now. Between working at the store , and helping with guests etc for the upcoming Denver Comic Con, I really don’t know whether I’m coming or going.Speaking of Denver Comic Con, we just announced Chris Ware recently. Tickets will be on sale at most comic stores( including here ) starting March 1st, and you will be able to receive discounts with no service charge fee. More details soon.I just got back from a retailer sales meeting called ComicsPro in Atlanta. There was a whole lot to digest, and I didn’t take the greatest notes, but I did have a couple of things from DC. The WTF campaign is still going to be happening, but it won’t be on the front cover. The gatefold covers will be cool though.DC is also bringing back Batman/Superman as an ongoing title. One of my favorite artists, Jae Lee will be doing the art. I was disappointed to hear that that DC has no reason to celebrate Superman’s 75 year anniversary this year. They apparently don’t want you to know how old he really is.There is going to be a Fables / Unwritten cross over.24 Hour Comic Book Day is now and forevermore the first Saturday in October.
IDW picked up the rights to Cartoon Network, so we’ll see Powerpuff girls and Samurai Jack again.More kids comics is a great thing as far as I am concerned.This week is a quick trip to Emerald City Comic Con on a guest hunt. One thing I need to mention is the shipments every Wednesday can be delayed due to weather. We’ve been really lucky so far this year, but that could change at any time. Check our website, www.time-warp.com or Wayne Winsett on facebook every Tuesday night or Wednesday morning for updates. I really have to just squeeze in a few upcoming titles that I need to bring to your attention, so here goes.
