New comics in today! @denizcamp.bsky.social 's new Vertigo book, Bleeding Hearts leads the way but also Absolute WW annual, Batman reprints, Cyclops, Deadpool, Spider-Man (both Noir and Torn), Alien Vs Captain America, DC KO and more.

The latest Warhammer Kill Team box is out today. Buy on lighthousecomics.co.uk or in the shop! (Plus we have the individual teams from the last one too!)

Another addition to the Lighthouse Collection! This is by Dan Chase (you can see his work by typing n9nth into your browser of choice), and will be available in the shop as an art card & print soon. There are more coming over the next few weeks, including some big names! (really, I'm not lying)

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

And this.

This.

Get your applications in. It's a great weekend!

We currently have all 5 volumes of Brink in stock. It's cracking.

For Damian Wayne fans, Batman 6 and DC K.O. Knightfight 4 read well together. Batman does through a test similar to what Superman experienced when he came into contact with the Black Mercy. If he can't pass it then he can't get back into the tournament or possibly anywhere else!

I have ordered more in case anybody missed out.

"Best Comic Book Ever" is a meaningless statement, based as it is on an individual's whims and fancies, and utterly irrelevant to any serious person with an elementary understanding of value in an ever-changing world. But Darwyn Cooke's Parker books are definitely in with a shout.

We'll be getting a limited number of these (and one of them is for me) so if you'd like a copy then let me know. They have been shipped but will be arriving in about ten days. I'm ridiculously excited about it

I thought today was going to be quite quiet. I was incorrect. Absolute Batman vol 2 now in. Plus deluxe Supergirl, new compacts, Mothra, classic Batman and Superman, Power....

Great review of a new Crumb exhibition in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I love this Steve Ditko panel. The way he uses the edge of the blue wall as a stand-in for a panel gutter, so we see the human first, then the monster. But he also makes sure the monster's hands are over the edge so we understand it's really one image. Masterful stuff. #comics

This is a big one that eyes will be on to learn more about what was revealed in New History of the DC Universe. Help your store measure interest by preordering!

New books in today's delivery include a lovely new Eternaut edition, the award-winning The Witch's Egg and a new edition of The Beauty ♥️♥️

We have new Warhammer up for pre-order on the website. Kill Team Shadowhunt, Wolf Scouts & XV26 Battlesuits Plus, more Space Wolf Terminators! Get them while you can.

If you cannot buy directly from us then please use bookshop.org. You can select a preferred bookshop to receive a percentage of the sale (like us) and money goes into a pot which gets distributed amongst all the small bookshops in the country. Nothing goes to that bald fraud or his rocket designers.

I had to go ahead and make it...

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Submissions for BOXES Vol. 5 will be OPEN from 1st to 28th February. If you are UK based and have an idea for a new short comic or article about comics, we'd love to hear from you. There's a bit more about it in our latest newsletter: thirdbearpress.substack.com/p/new-year-n...

All of our copies of Anfield Road are now signed, after Chris Shepherd paid us a visit today! You can pick one up at the shop or order through our website!

If you enjoyed Everything Dead & Dying and are sad it’s come to an end you may be interested to know that next month I have a brand new book out! The Peril of the Brutal Dark, with @christophcondon.bsky.social from Vertigo! It’s like I planned it.

Alien vs Captain America Issue 3 is released today. Written by Frank Tieri, with Stefano Raffaele as the penciller. The issues cover artist is Leinil Francis Yu.

Assorted Crisis Events 8 -- Out today! YOU are the secret collaborator in this issue! This is specially printed on newsprint for story reasons and won't be in the trade, so even if you haven't picked up the series, or are trade waiting, think about grabbing this off the shelf! While supplies last!

It’s not too late.

Assorted Crisis Events continues to knock it out of the park every month. (This page just made me laugh).

So excited to finally get some @peow.bsky.social books in! Took me 10 months but we got there on the end. Come down and take a look!

I hope this is unnecessary to say but please don't try to sell me anything with AI art in it. If I spot it then I won't buy it. And if somebody else spots it I will have to take it off the shelves and it will ruin my day.

The Crystal Vase by Astrid Goldsmith releases today. 😎 Astrid has very kindly come in and signed all of our copies. So pop in and pick one up or you can order from our website.

Welcome to Hob’s Creek. Have you had your coffee this morning?

Hahaha, holy s***. 😁

Loads more new stuff in today....

New Donut Squad now in stock! Look how bright it is! ♥️

Beautiful. That poor bald man.

The Absolute Batman Ark-M special and this month's Escape are both very good comics. Tune in tomorrow for more comics opinions.

And some new art for the walls. It's all going on in 2026.

And we got some of those new-fangled dice things.😎

We got some new Marvel in today...

Saying it again. You do *not* have to be the most accomplished artist in the world to make an excellent comic that speaks to people and communicates your truths.

Another drokkin' year

OK. Top 5. Erlking Wood Assorted Crisis Events Absolute Martian Manhunter Power Fantasy Wizard of Earthsea Honorable mentions for This Slavery, Brownstone, Absolute Wonder Woman and Exquisite Corpses. Judges exemption for Richard Stark's Parker, just cos I only read it this year.
