One of our favourites from the past few years - still available in hard copy at our shop but ALSO, you can support this amazing creator directly!

This book has a slight Sin City flavour with Mad Max tendencies. If that appeals, check it out!!

It's official: the Diamond PREVIEWS catalogue is no more. Not even digitally.

The last issue of the publication has a scant 98 words. At its peak, it would have over 600 pages of product listings.

Dylan is responsible for both our original logo set, and a slick updated redesign. He’s great to work with and really infuses each project with carefully considered identity.

We highly recommend his services!
It’s worth noting that I’m pursuing freelance design full-time. If any cool people want to make cool stuff – comics or pop culture or otherwise – hit me up! I do good work and I have nice hair.

Out and about at the Parkland Regional Library System - talking to librarians about our library programs and book bans.

Socials aren't the place for nuanced discussion, but we would like to address a recent comic book release.

DC has decided to cancel their current RED HOOD series after the release of its first issue. A request has been made that no more copies be sold.

We’re putting something exciting together for the first collection out later this year… 👀👀👀
ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS has been my series of the year. A future where a time crisis is bleeding into everyone's lives. Stories about folks just trying to live as the fantastic bleeds into their lives - time sliding around them. The first five issues are out - and the first collection is on its way.

Folks, we've been proud to be running out in city delivery program for a little over nine years now. Starting as a program for folks with low mobility (free once a month), it expanded quickly to help those low on time ($2 once a month, $4 for extra weeks). Ask about delivery options today!

One of our ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE creators is taking on the early days of Harley and Ivy! Certainly a far cry from the days that DC was insisting they were "just good friends". You know. Gal pals.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy finally get the love story they deserve in November from DC Comics
"To be able to tell the story of how they got together is a thirty-year dream come true," says creator Erica Henderson of November's new DC comic book series, Harley and Ivy: Life and Crimes.

Looks like THE KNIVES are coming out!

About once or twice a year, ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS work their magic on another amazing graphic novel. This time around, it is a return to the world of CRIMINAL, where unfortunate souls swirl around each other, just trying to survive.

Geared up to process this week’s new single issues. Books from the three distributors we use have arrived and have been alphabetized - now it is time to go through everyone’s pulls and get great books into files!

I have an earbud, listening to the audio book for the sixth in the Expanse series!

A book that rocked us. True crime meets unknown horror. On our shelves on September 10th!
Got a chance to read this last night as I was placing final orders. This is an incredible opening salvo for @ignitionpress.bsky.social.

Quick pitch: a new season of a defunct podcast pops on the feed, and anyone who listens to it is overtaken with the need to murder.

ATOM. Urasawa's Pluto was my first manga, after years of friends telling me to read it. It's one of my favorite books, and I search out everything Urasawa's done now. It opened up the way I look at comics in a huge way.

Out tomorrow: maybe the best Avengers book happening right now gets a print edition. Avengers Academy.

A digital first series with outstanding LGQBTIA2S+ representation. It starts with the kids fighting a Nazi who is now made of bees. And that’s rad.
