Damn that issue of Assorted Crisis Events really hit those emotional high notes. @denizcamp.bsky.social @ericxyz.bsky.social

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

A customer just started on Birthright recently and I pitched him Nail Biter yesterday. He asked if @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social had any other comics out right now and I said that indeed he does!

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

If you’re in Los Angeles something absolutely amazing is happening! Check it out. If you don’t like comics go anyways and you may leave loving comics!

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

We are looking for one or two sponsors for our end of the year award show, The Stampies. The goal being to give winners a physical Stampy. Would need about $1K to make it happen. So...cbccpodcast at gmail dot com if interested.

Every issue of Legacy of Vader is better than the last. Issue 10 has Kylo Ren seeking a rematch with Luke Skywalker via the ambient powers inside Vader's Castle on Mustafar. There is much he doesn't understand & wow moments await. This could be your first issue so sample it to see what goes on!

Harley & Ivy Life & Crimes 1 was great. @ericafails.bsky.social entirely captures the characters where I automatically hear Arleen Sorkin & Diane Pershing. If you've ever enjoyed these characters, or know someone who does, look for this one this week! And put in a preorder for the other issues.

Cyclops & Magik (Darkchild) engage in a high stakes duel in Age of Revelation Amazing X-men 2. A fantastic and creative verbal duel of truths that hurt. So things get said. I was not for AoR, but I have to say this is another good issue especially if you like Cyclops & his role with the X-men.

Assorted Crisis Events 6 is heavy. A woman's husband is disconnected with linear time. He's very young, very old, or himself. Her stress & sense of loss,his confusion & frustration. A real eye opener for those who know others living with loved ones with dementia. A stand alone issue that ends well.

To me jumpscares are nearly impossible to achieve in comic books. Not a literal jump, but rather a surprise shock. Nice House on the Lake could do it, Locke & Key could do it. Crownsville, the new @bishop1888.bsky.social comic, can do it. The Bonetti art & color hit disturbing notes.

RETAILERS- I sent out an email with offers of ways I can help you sell the WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US tpb like bookplates, sharing links, or custom videos. Check your inbox. Or message me if you didn't get it. FOC is this week.

If you have an election in your city/state tomorrow please... Vote.

A great episode, queue it up right away!

With relatively short notice people have donated SO many non-perishable food items at Acme Comics today! And a number of them declined the 50% off offer. Collection continues at 2150 Lawndale through Sunday at 6PM then these items go to Second Harvest on Phillips Ave next week. Thanks everyone!

Bring a non-perishable food item to Acme Comics 2150 Lawndale Drive in Greensboro NC this weekend and get half off your purchase in the Vintage Comics Room! www.instagram.com/reel/DQfhP2c...

Free Planet is geopolitical space opera in the tradition of Dune, Saga and Claremont X-Men. That’s outrageous praise so don’t just take it from me; listen to @robertkirkman.bsky.social… Pre-order Free Planet volume 1 at your local comic shop or bookstore TODAY. Landing 11/26.

The Absolute Batman annual was a great read. @danielwarrenart.bsky.social works his magic with heavy hitting action against deserving targets bookended by very real introspection into who this Brice Wayne is and how he carries his terrible pain. A great issue to sample & see what the hype is about.

DC's Absolute line has brought in so many new readers. People buying their very first comic books as they come out new. I've been saying this for years, and fellow retailers let me know how it goes this week, but explaining to a new reader what an Annual is doesn't connect. Special, yes. Annual, no.

This new take on Sigurd Jarlson in Mortal Thor is not to be trifled with! By pure coincidence, he's kind of the Absolute Batman of the Marvel Universe and nobody's quite noticed. Check out Mortal Thor 1-3 and see what you think.

I've never seen Supernatural, but @gregpak.com made a comic I could easily follow & also enjoy. I remember nobody being into the original Supernatural comics, then they became highly in demand. I hope fans of the tv show realize this comic is out Wednesday & get on it immediately! Set up a preorder!

Sixth Gun Battle for the Six has been one of the most exciting comics of 2025 for me. Sixth Gun was a must-read around 2010 & I hope those fans saw this sequel, but I also hope new ones, BPRD fans, did too. I can tell @cullenbunn.bsky.social & @brihurtt.bsky.social put their all into this once again

A new Battleworld has formed and this time it isn't the Beyonder's doing, but still someone powerful enough to make it happen. The assembled character for this Secret War are highly creative choices. I can sell @christosgage.bsky.social is having a good time on this series.

After searching the timestream, Raina has finally found her family in the year 2024, on Halloween no less. Despite being the antagonist, she has a cool design and personality, so I hope she sticks around in some way. If you've been away from the Rocketfellers series, pick back up with issue 10.

I also watched the Creature From the Black Lagoon for the 2nd time this weekend. What an impressive movie. The Milicent Patrick design really comes to life & Ricou Browning's underwater stuntwork while wearing the suit is incredible. Plus, the creature is relentless. If you haven't seen it, see it!

There's some very creative and cinematic panelwork from David Baldeon in Voyuer #2. To show the movement of a character, also the passage of time and memories recalled. The choices caused me to take note, so I'd say it was successful. Plus the story by @iamhandaxe.bsky.social story is compelling!

Synthetics is a slow build to sharp scifi with great dialogue from @straczynski.bsky.social. Earth is rapidly becoming uninhabitable & those still living try their best to survive. But those who knew it would be this way are working on something forbidden. There's some Evangelion-esque themes here.

I saw Weapons this weekend and I'm really not sure about that one. Reading comics for a lifetime, I get that sometimes a thing just happens, but there are so many unanswered followup questions. Either way it is a pretty unforgettable and creative movie.

In 2020, @tomtaylormade.bsky.social and Daniele Di Nicuolo introduced us to one of the most beautiful stories I have read with Seven Secrets. Give the summary a read and order it at your local LCBS. Final Order Cutoff: 2025-10-27 Shipping Date: 2025-11-25 @boom-studios.com #boomstudios

How are your local take out food places doing? My fave place said things are slowing, it’s one of the few non chain places so it kinda bums me out they are struggling

The information Miles casually relays to Doom in Ultimate Spider-man: Incursion's finale will surely play a role in Ultimate Endgame. If you haven't checked out this five-parter, consider it!

New History of the DCU's final 4th issue covers Blackest Night through All In! Yes it covers New 52 and makes it work so smoothly. Outstanding. You can grab this without the rest if you really want to know today's DC. I recommend you do.

Justice League Unlimited 12 was another great DC K.O. tie in this week! While the heavy hitters are in the tournament the other heroes deal with chaos on Earth. Meanwhile Mr Terrific assembles a team of displaced heroes, such cool ones, to handle what is likely a suicide mission to Earth's core.

In Flash 26, Impulse overhears Doomsday's presentation with the other Speedsters & takes decisive action! Unfortunately, Bart didn't fully understand the stakes now its everybody's problem. Especially Wally's. A cool tie in brought to you by @markwaid.bsky.social & @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social!

Captain Henry & the Graveyard of Time was a lot of fun. This is set in the Hellboy Universe and sees Edward Grey witness the activation of some unknown technology and the intrepid Captain Henry who pilots it into some other place. Henry is pretty unflappable, but things get crazy even for him.

A couple pages in and I immediately like the Last Wolverine. Its no secret from the cover that Leonard is Wolverine 10 years from now in the Age of Revelation, but the way he operates & his general demeanor makes him someone I want to see again. This was a real surprise.

Omega Kids sees Quentin Quire who threw in with Revelation without coercion teaching young telepaths to pre-emptively stop rebellions. He's more charming than ever, but the kids may be more than the 30-something Kid Omega can handle when they show their true hand. Great job @tonyfleecs.bsky.social

Radioactive Spider-man shows that despite the unique effects he's existing under in the Age of Revelation, Spider-man is still out there fighting for people who need him. At great person cost. What a crazy last page. Age of Revelation has kinda won me over. Check in on it & see what its all about!

If you're doing Age of Revelation, do not pass on X-men Book of Revelation! @jedmackay.bsky.social writes it himself & I have to admit that I loved it. A new Mutant arrives & notes how different Revelation and Doug Ramsey are. Plus, he flexes hard on the emissary from Arakko! Buy with confidence!

C'mon, you guys. If you're flipping through back issues of Fantastic Four looking for the lord of all Latveria, you're Doomscrolling.

Whenever you see hateful posts on social media, please remember that about 50% of internet activity is now AI/bots, so it's likely that it isn't even a real person. Don't fall for the crap that's trying to divide us, just ignore (block) and move on.

The Highway to Heaven episode "I Was a Middle Aged Werewolf" is an annual Halloween must watch and one of my top five favorite Halloween episodes. This Entertainment Tonight on set interview is amazing and I'd never seen it before

"Someone's at the door..."

Getting to talk to Terminator X from Public Enemy on the phone was not on my Bingo Card today, but anything can happen in the shop!

Are you seeing this?? “Enter: The Dragon!”

One World Under Doom 8. Well, that’s not good…
