I know that I told most of you that I wasn’t going to Comic-Con on Saturday because it’s just too crowded, but I just couldn’t help myself. More later. Until then enjoy some pics of day three.

We’re off to San Diego for Comic-Con International 2008. Be sure to check back throughout the day starting on Thursday for updates, pictures, and videos. If you are on Twitter then be sure to follow us as that will be the first place that we post updates.

To celebrate the launch of the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, we are going to post a review of the first thirty issues of Batman every day up to the release. So, be sure to check back on Thursday June 19th for the first installment when we review Detective Comics #27.

Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, this weeks books will arrive on Thursday. Therefore, our hours on Wednesday will be 10am-6pm and Thursday we will open from Noon-8pm. I am stuck out of town right now and will not get to update the shipping list and spotlight until tonight or tomorrow.

Our graphic novel/trade paperback selection is once again outgrowing its’ britches. We are now at about 1700 unique books and growing. To celebrate this milestone we are offering a special deal. Buy any four trade paperbacks or hardcovers and get the fifth of equal of lesser value for free. Stock up on your favorites now.

We are looking to start a local chapter of Drink and Draw Social Club. The premise is pretty straight forward. We get together, we drink, and we draw. Or if you are me, you doodle. Please reply to this post with suggestions of a local bar that you think would work for our first meeting. Also, let us know what night of the week is good for you. We are thinking of Thurs., Fri., or Sat. (May 29, 30, and 31 respectively). You don’t have to drink to draw and you don’t have to draw to drink. Just show up and have some fun with us.

Thank you to everyone that not only made it out to the premier of Iron Man last Tuesday, but for also making this year’s Free Comic Book Day our best yet. This year we gave out over a thousand free comics, HeroClix, and other cool stuff. A special thanks to everyone in the 501st for coming by with some great costumes, Anthony Figaro, Vernon Smith and Karen Chen of The Adventures of Dexter Breakfast, Doug and Monty of welcometobordercity.com, Robby Musso of Transformers and Speed Racer fame, and to Chase and Blake of 2 In 1 Showcase for covering the entire event. Mark your calendars for next year, Free Comic Book Day will be on May 2, 2009 and we promise it will be huge. Also, the new website should debut within the next week and just to whet your appetite, the image above is part of our new web design.
