We got 29 copies of Nextwave #5 in last week. Considering about 10 pulls and one damaged copy, we now have (no joke) 2 copies left.
This is my celebratory dance.

Why I Should Have a Megaphone

ATTENTION EVERYONE.
YOU WILL RECIEVE YOUR COMICS ON THURSDAY, NOT FRIDAY.
BLAME MEMORIAL DAY.
AND GO TO YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP ANYWAYS. PICK UP A TRADE PAPERBACK IF YOU HAVE TO. THEY’LL BE LONELY.
THANK YOU.
First is the Worst, Second is the Best

At my register at the front counter, I have copies of Nextwave and a gun.
Okay, maybe not a gun, but an iron clad schpeel on why this happens to be the only book in the entire store that one seriously needs. Needs like air, like joy, like special time with Special Bear. Each issue knocks [...]

NEWSARAMA.COM: TEN YEARS LATER: ONSLAUGHT REBORN
You heard it didn’t you? A thousand voices, crying out in terror? Or just one lone little girl in Santa Barbara, CA. I didn’t even read it at first, just let it wash over me. After all, this is the semi-joke issue of Wizard magazine, right? [...]
Just a Little About Where You Are
May 27, 2006 – 4:01 pm
So, since people have been rather pleasantly disposed towards my little humble home of geekery, why not snazz the place up a bit? I whipped up some quickie comic banners, found a nice looking layout and hopefully some interesting things to say.
I’m also now officially listed on the Comic Weblog Update page, not to [...]
Take Ike Back Syndrome

So I go into Borders Bookstore this morning and what to my wondrous eyes do appear? The X-Men: The Last Stand novelization.
Novelizations can often be like little guidebooks to the treacherous vacation that is a comic book movie (please, if you haven’t, go read the Hulk movie novelization and see that even Peter David [...]
Short and Sweet - Reviews for 5/24
May 24, 2006 – 12:39 am
Shorter, snappier, wired on two iced mochas of the day, I bring to you… some of what Marvel and DC is a little too lazy to promote on their own. I have to admit, doing these reviews is pretty helpful in regards to plying my craft of selling books to people who don’t know what [...]
Ask Your Local Girl!
May 22, 2006 – 2:42 pm
I am the only chick at my store. We used to have two, but the first went on to bigger and better things and we enjoy her return visits. But when we were together, we noticed something.
Guys don’t want our opinion.
We all have specialties here at the store. One guy is the Bat-Fan, another guy [...]
Integrity
May 11, 2006 – 1:02 am
Ragnell got me thinking about something I’ve been wanting to say for awhile now, so forgive my soapbox.
Awhile back in a Newsarama interview, when Bendis seemed to have no problem suddenly making the formerly heroic (and most certainly tragic) Hulk a mass murderer from the start retroactively in order to justify shooting him into space, [...]
Let’s Hear it for GAMES!
GAMES!
Oh wow. I thought today was going to be dullsville (honestly, without comics we’re a slow ship), but YAY GAMES!
I swear, reviews tonight but you have to know about this awesome awesome stuff:
1) PIRATES! I am proud to say that if you’re not a poser pirate fan who couldn’t name at least two female scourges [...]
