News for the Week of July 26 - August 1, 2010

Its the last week of the Anniversary sale at The Comic Book Shop! This week there are sales on Marvel hardcovers, Manga, Walking Dead and Dark Horse comics back issues! Saturday is the final day and is the most superest day of all! On Saturday you can use our sale calendar and pick any single sale from the month and use it that day! There will not be a better, cooler or more fantabulous sale this year!

Scott Pilgrim reorders are coming in this week! Pick them up as quick as you can because we are having a hard time keeping them in stock. Its the biggest series of the year and will only get bigger as the movie gets closer.

We got a beat up copy of Showcase #22 in Saturday. That the first Silver age Green Lantern appearance and Matt threw it right up on our EBay store and I figured that it would be nice to have around the shop for a few months since we haven't had one in about a year or so. Matt listed it, I left to go home and I got a notification from EBay when I got there that it sold. Guess we priced it a bit too low....

Check out the X-men and Gregg Horn original art we have in the display case. There are some cool pieces for sale all in the insanely cheap $1,800 to $2,500 price range. Come on, you know you would rather have these than a new car.

Personal stuff:

I saw Inception on Saturday night at Northtown. We arrived about 5 minutes before the movie started and were trying to decide between that and waiting 10 minutes for Salt when I asked the ticket salesman how full Inception was. He checked their handy dandy computer monitor and told me a bit over half full. Great we thought and bought the tickets and went directly to the theater.

Walking in we noticed that it was a wee bit fuller than he told us. It was as he said, just a bit over half full, about 95%. Since we didn't want to sit in the front row of an action movie we had to grab the chairs in the center of the theatre that were meant for people who were there with people in wheelchairs. Lots of legroom though....

The movie was good, first adult one I have seen in awhile and I would recommend it. Its not as confusing as many of the reviews have made it out to be but you do have to pay attention and at 2 and a half hours its nice if you have a seat that you can stretch out in....

—Craig!

If you guys haven't checked this trailer out yet, you really should. It's quite awesome. It's based on the graphic novel series of the same name published by Oni Press. The movie is directed by Edgar Wright, director of two of the best movies of all time Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I HIGHLY recommened the series and rank it up there at COMPLETELY AWESOME! All five books are in stock at both Divison and Northtown with the sixth and final book to be released July 20th. Plus the week before the movie is released, we'll be getting Scott Pilgrim t-shirts and plushies!
