Our L.A. fires relief fundraiser is this Monday, Feb. 10 at 6pm on our YouTube channel youtube.com/@awyeahcomic... We’re blown away by the sketch variant art we’ve received so far. Can’t wait to do this! Join us in-shop or online. Gonna be a terrific evening.

For real, don’t snooze on this one. Issue #1’s got that “of a certain X-Men era” feel to it throughout, yet fresh as fresh gets. Also, it’s rumored shop manager @joecrohn.bsky.social LOL’d thrice whilst reading. Snag!

I’m honestly not sure whether to file this as a big ol’ L or ultimately a win. I guess time will tell but considering economic retail environment reality of 2025, we need to support our LCSs more than ever right now.

This is going to be such an incredible book. Please tell your shop you want it. assortedcrisisevents.com @ericxyz.bsky.social
