Quick word before we get into the business. If you want to see all the books we have coming in this Wednesday, go to our ‘New Book Releases’ page on our website, it has a comprehensive list of all the titles we are getting in WITHOUT the inane commentary from me.
Back to the business.
That’s right, Wolverine is finally back and we have a healthy stock for Wednesday. Get them now because they are SOLD OUT at the distributor level. What that means is that we can no longer reorder 1st prints of the book, what we ordered from our distributor is all we are going to get (on rare occasions some might be available, but that’s rare). Why tell you this? Letting you know that something is sold out at the distributor level tells you two things.
1) The book is popular not just at our store, but enough stores ordered it so that Diamond Distribution (the sole distributor of comics) sold out of their stock. All stores will not be able reorder this book.
2) If you are interested, get in now for cover price because sell outs are what drive up the price of a book. Your options is to hunt it down or wait for the 2nd print of the book.

Edge of Spider-Geddon, 1 per customer has been the theme with these books. Put the regular series, Spider-Geddon, on your pull list now. Spider-geddon #0 comes out 9/26 and is already sold out at the distributor level! The ‘Edge of’ series have been putting out cool characters that make getting back issues hard to find. They’re also fun stories that don’t screw up the timeline, for some reason.

Don’t forget the True Believers titles, which are only $1.00! Marvel usually coincide these with new releases on Netflix and/or movie releases. Pretty cool to be able to get 1st appearances for $1.00 and some of these actually go up in value (I know, I know, that’s not why you buy comics, but it doesn’t hurt to have value to your collection). Check out the Mike Zeck cover, just awesome! Punisher #1 was the first mainstream cover that went above-and-beyond all the other covers out there in eye appeal. Now you have Mattina, Artgerm, etc. putting out awesome covers, but Zeck, to me, was the first artist putting out top notch covers AND he did the interior art!
True Believers Marvel Knights 20th Anniversary Iron Fist By Thomas And Kane #1, $1.00
True Believers Marvel Knights 20th Anniversary Power Man And Iron Fist #1, $1.00
True Believers Marvel Knights 20th Anniversary Punisher By Grant And Zeck #1, $1.00

Venom is sold out at the distributor level, new character, blah blah blah. Same old story for Mr. Cates & Mr. Stegman, just killing this title with tons of cool, dark imagery. This ends the first Donny Cates/Ryan Stegman story arc! (did I mention that issue #7 is also sold out at the distributor level already and it doesn’t come out until mid-October? Put this on your pull if it is not on there already.)
Venom #6 (Cover A Ryan Stegman), $3.99
