Two Goodbyes & Two Hellos
Goodbye to DC3D this week
a remarkable success story if judged upon sellthrough.
a remarkable success story if judged upon sellthrough.
Goodbye presumably to queues of eager purchases
of the aforementioned DC3D camping outside the store at 10.30am on a Wednesday
morning.
In a last minute plot twist DC pull off a move of misdirection, for while all eyes were
on Joker’s Daughter to be the must have this week (translates as possible high
secondary market value) they go and announce that 3 of the books shipping this
week have had an allocation on top of the original allocation!
Not only are we to be hung, it’s raining on the
gallows.
So if you are in the area at 11am, brush up on
the etiquette of whatever contact sport you have
a preference for - defensive moves only please.
a preference for - defensive moves only please.
If only content could stir such conviction, for
if that were the case the queue would stretch
to Hove this week.
Like a party where DC turns up early wearing the most expensive frocks but all eyes fall upon the fashionably late IMAGE books.
to Hove this week.
Like a party where DC turns up early wearing the most expensive frocks but all eyes fall upon the fashionably late IMAGE books.
An astonishing week for the company:
EAST OF WEST, FATALE, JUPITER'S
LEGACY, SAGA and SEX CRIMINALS!
What a remarkable era of
comics! We are witness to the perfect mash up of early 90’s gaudy excess with
the creativity of 80’s, the verve of the 70’s undergrounds, and the post 9/11
militarised hero!

Hello to Michele (Monday & Friday) and John (Monday & Tuesday) who joined us proper like
over the last week.
Be nice now we like them very much.

As "The Unwritten Fables" continues, it looks like the darkest hour, but somehow things continue to get darker. Nothing stands between Mister Dark and the endless, nested worlds of reality and story-except a witch without a conscience, a prince crippled by grief and three schoolchildren who are starting to realize that they're wearing the wrong faces.

RAT QUEENS #1
GOLD, GUTS AND GROG," Part One
Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all gods' creatures for profit.
It's also a darkly comedic fantasy series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Hobbit Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack! A new ongoing series from PETER PANZERFAUST's KURTIS J. WIEBE and featuring a gorgeous incentive cover by SAGA's FIONA STAPLES!

SEX CRIMINALS #1
A SEX COMEDY FOR COMICS
Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. In the vein of THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN and BRIDESMAIDS, Image Comics invites you to come along with MATT FRACTION (Hawkeye, SATELLITE SAM) and CHIP ZDARSKY (Prison Funnies, Monster Cops) for the series that puts the "comic" back in "comics" and the "sexy" back in "sex crimes."
