Jermaine, John and Jay come in to give you the proper scope and context for the events thus far in the Age of Ultron crossover so that you’re good and psyched when New York Times best-selling novelist Neil Gaiman and Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada come on board next week to help Brian Michael Bendis, Carlos Pacheco and Brandon Peterson bring things to a close!
Alright folks, who are we gonna see at the Superman Man of Steel midnight premiere at the Carmike Cinemas?! I’m psyched to introduce the first 300 people through the door to my favorite Big Blue Boy Scout series of all time, All Star Superman, with a FREE exclusive edition of issue #1! We’ll also have Superman featuring Flashpoint by the pack to hand out, and our favorite Supes paperbacks and hardcovers for sale!
No need to worry about staying up to the wee hours of the morning! Geeksboro will have you covered with a coffee bar!
So how about HeroesCon 2013?! We saw many of you hitting the vendor displays, going to panels, and meeting with your favorite creators over the three days! Speaking of creators, we heard from more than a few of them that they had a great time meeting new Acme Comics customers and familiar ones, too!
And just between us, we all but put the finishing touches on which guests will be joining us for Free Comic Book Day 2014! But more on that later…
While you’re still in convention mode, don’t forget that you can purchase your Comic Book City Con tickets right now!
Jermaine, Stephen and Jody will make you salivate over this year’s San Diego Comic Con International exclusives, will make you buy Herobear & the Kid, Astro City and Daredevil Dark Nights and WILL make you tune in next time!
Aw Yeah Comics #1 and #2 are in stock NOW at Acme Comics Presents! Direct from the source at Aw Yeah Comics (the shop) in Skokie, IL, follow all of the adventures of Action Cat & Adventure Bug written & drawn by Art Baltazar and Franco and a whole slew of their buddies! Need even more from the Aw Yeah Comics Crew? Trades of Tiny Titans and single issues of Superman Family Adventures are on the shelves at ACP and it’s not too early to subscribe to Itty Bitty Hellboy, coming from Dark Horse in August!
Also, I want to extend a big “welcome back” to Comic Alliance, back in business after about a month-long hiatus!
And finally, I will be down at HeroesCon tomorrow all day! So you know where to look for me, I’m gonna be doing some bouncing around between our pals Chris Schweizer, Maris Wicks, Joe Quinones, Matt Fraction, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Jeremy & Kelly Dale in the morning, and then I’ll be picking up a copy of Demeter from Becky Cloonan, Black Furnace from Ryan Browne and Head Lopper from Andrew MacLean in the afternoon! Probably some Matt’s Chicago Dogs in between and Price’s Chicken Coop afterwards!
If you noticed a phone call from 336-574-2263 (A-C-M-E) this week, that was indeed Acme Comics!
We are making efforts to ensure that we have up-to-date phone numbers and e-mail addresses for all of our subscribers as well as reminding them that they can update their subscriptions at any time! When you check out this week, we will try to update your information on the spot. We don’t want you to miss out new series, information on upcoming conventions, and sales!
Jermaine, Stephen & Riley chat with JL8 creator Yale Stewart about structuring a bi-weekly strip and the triumphs & perils of gaining a lot of attention in the comic industry while still relatively early on in your career, dole out a couple more trade show tips & tricks before next week’s HeroesCon 2013, and gush over a pile of first issues from across the board!
