  THIS WEEKS HIGHLIGHTS
The March to Black Friday begins...
COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: Halloween is almost here but very shortly I'll be trading in my Jack O'Lantern head for a Pilgrim hat (really, it's coming) because Thanksgiving is coming up fast. And of course the Thanksgiving Holiday is synonymous with so many holiday traditions: turkey dinner, family and friends joining up to give thanks, football Bowl games, Macy's Parade and getting trampled at 4:00AM over a fifty dollar TV. That's right it's almost time for that most sacred of Thanksgiving Traditions - the BLACK FRIDAY SALE. We of course will be having ours again this year, but leading up to it we're inaugurating a new sale to help "prime the pump". Over the next four weeks we'll be holding a "BOXED BACK ISSUE SALE" and it features that most wonderful of ALTERNATE REALITY sales: the DOLLAR DAY SALE. Starting right now through November 1st our entire selection of back issues starting with the letters A, B, C & D and sticker priced at $5.00 or less are only ONE DOLLAR EACH. That's the entire top tier of the west side of our Back Issue Land shelves going on sale for a whole week! Titles like "Action Comics" and "Amazing Spiderman" which are boxed under other letters (like "S" for SUPERMAN and SPIDERMAN respectively) are also part of this week's sale, as are all our BATMAN titles such as Robin or Harley Quinn. Then on Sunday November 2nd letters E through H get the same sale for a full week and so on until we hit Thanksgiving. Sorry, you can't use your Back Issue Bucks for this sale (like it says on the back of each buck) but at a dollar each you can make a haul for next to nothing! So Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Dollar Day!

  OCTOBER 26th thru NOVEMBER 1st  

MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SALE HERE!

THIS WEEK'S STANDINGS: Overall - a smaller week, except for one glaring exception, and that's the INDIES. This week we'll be getting over TWICE AS MANY INDEPENDENT COMIC TITLES as last week! The planets have come into alignment and over twenty different small press publishers all independently decided to get their books out the door for a combined total of 87 titles this Wednesday. Find me another comic shop in Chicago (even on the hipster north side) that's supporting the Indy market like we are! Anyway, looking at the TOP FIVE, we have MARVEL dominating 1st Place with twenty-six titles. However, it should be noted that eleven of those books are 2ND PRINTS and without them the "House of Ideas" would fall to fourth place. Instead we have DC in a distant 2nd Place with seventeen titles with IMAGE hot on their heels in 3rd Place with sixteen titles. The pack separates again with 4th Place DYNAMITE and 5th Place DARK HORSE positioned apart by only one title each. Extending out the list into the Indies we have AVATAR and ZENESCOPE in 6th and 7th Place respectively (thanks in part to their parallel variants).

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS: As mentioned above it's a huge Indy comic week, so let's start there and dig into the Indy Pit. The highlight of the week for those who like classic characters is HERMES' run at the "Ghost who Walks" with PHANTOM #1. Lee Falk's enduring character was last seen at Dynamite returns in this late-1940s six issue adventure by writer Peter David and artist Sal Velluto. Over at AVATAR, god may be "toes up" in one corner but don't tell that to writer Justin Jordan as his new series DARK GODS #1 ships. Murdock leads The Storm, humanity's last line of defense against the brewing Primordial Chaos and The Serpent, Tiamet herself! YOWZA! BEAST COMMANDOS #1, ROGUES THE BURNING HEART #1 and ROMAN RITUAL #1 are all new mini-series from AMIGO. Who plays the bad guy is a question that's finally answered this week in the BLISS ON TAP mini-series I PLAY THE BAD GUY #1. KIDS COMICS are well represented in the BOONANA HALLOWEEN SPECIAL ONE SHOT, SIMPSONS COMICS EXPLOSION #1 our featured kids title SONIC BOOM #1 and a bunch of other titles for all ages arriving Wednesday. Looking at the TOP FIVE it's more AXIS fun as Marvel ships out AXIS CARNAGE #1 and the companion book to the main series AXIS REVOLUTIONS #1. To celebrate this year's milestone we have the anthology title MARVEL 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION #1 with a bunch of all-new stories looking at the richness of 616. Our BOOK OF THE WEEK-DEATHLOK #1, is the latest iteration of Marvel's original Odd Couple of a man trying to live with a 'puter in his head without each driving the other crazy. Speaking of lunatics, DC gives you yet another reason to think the inmates have taken over the asylum as the cannabis reeking, scratch and stink (or just plan stink) HARLEY QUINN ANNUAL #1 arrives with 4 polybagged, stink-o-rama covers.From the Vertigo corner of DC is yet another color explored in VERTIGO QUARTERLY #1 YELLOW. Finally, at IMAGE the team of ALEX GRECIAN and fan favorite artist RILEY ROSSMO reunite for the first time since their critically acclaimed series Proof in RASPUTIN #1 which is all about that wacky Russian monk who had so much fun with the Romanov dynasty.  Poisoned, beaten, stabbed, shot in the head, drowned, then tied up and thrown in a frozen river -you just can't keep this guy down!
