dan-itorial!

We're really excited to host a special creator appearance by indie comic artist Andre Szymanowicz, THIS SATURDAY, from 1-3pm! Andre is the artist on this week's new HELL YEAH #1 from Image Comics. The buzz on HELL YEAH has been tremendous and advance previews have made a special point to call out Andre's work on the title! There's plenty more details to your right. Andre will be signing copies of HELL YEAH #1 and sketching for those who purchase copies of the title at our store!
Don't miss your chance to meet rising star comic artist Andre Szymanowicz - this Saturday!!!!

Last week we told you about the special "pullbox" variant cover for X-O Manowar, the first title from the re-launched Valiant Comics and due on May 5th. On this past Wednesday we received a cool talking X-O promo poster from Valiant - you scan the QR code with your mobile device, hold your phone over the poster where X-O's mouth is and "hear" X-O speak. We've posted a couple of copies of the poster at the front of the store for those who want to try it out.

Back issues return! Matt & John were rooting around down in the basement last Wednesday and found a bunch of cool back issue that we thought was time put out for sale. So we put together a few short boxes worth of comics containing deep discounted back issues and your find them toward the front of the store. Most of these are priced between $1 to $3 - all well below price guide.
We've already had to refill the boxes once - and we just put them out! There's some really good stuff in there so be sure to check that out when you stop in this week.

And on another topic completely.... I'm been captivated by the amazing song in the Citibank commercial - the one where a young couple climb up a treacherous mountain, and a souring voice sings "Somebody left the gate open" in the back ground. It's a fantastic, driving, relentless song with an incredible and uplifting vocal. I couldn't get it out of my head. Eventually a google search turned up the name of song (INTO THE WILD) and the artist (someone by the name of L.P.) It's not on any album as of yet but here's a link to an incredible You Tube video of a live performance and you can download the song there from Itunes for $1.29. Highly recommended. Now maybe I can get this song out of my head! (Second place for most listened to this week: Lifening by Snow Patrol.)

How cool is the cover to NIGHT FORCE #1 (see below to your right)!?!

Have a great week and hope to see you store soon!
Dan

Meet Image Comics creator

Andre Szymanowicz

artist of this week's new Image Comics series HELL YEAH

THIS SATURDAY - 1 to 3pm!!!

Andre will be signing copies of debut issue of HELL YEAH and sketching for fans who purchase a copy of HELL YEAH #1.

HELL YEAH will be arriving this Wednesday (see preview below)! and there's still time to reserve your copy - so don't delay!

Szymanowicz [si-man-o-vich], a former student of Dover NJ's Joe Kubert School of Comic Art, is a local independent artist and graphic designer. His work has appeared in a number of projects including Comic Book Tattoo, the Eisner & Harvey award winning POPGUN anthology, and Elephantmen. He also has done coloring work for DC Comics, including several issues of The Spirit, and a number of Superman and Batman stories. HELL YEAH is his first ongoing series featuring both his pencils and inks.

Here's a look at this week's debut issue of HELL YEAH #1 from Image Comics, Joe Keatings & Andre:
THE LAST GENERATION OF HEROES IS HERE!

Twenty years ago, the first-ever superheroes debuted without warning and forever altered our global culture!

Now, the generation born in their wake fight to claim their place in a world evolved beyond them! Written by Eisner & Harvey award-winner JOE KEATINGE and illustrated by ELEPHANTMEN and POPGUN's ANDRE SZYMANOWICZ, HELL YEAH combines the over-the-top excitement of the original Image Comics launch with modern, innovative storytelling.

"Hell Yeah looks at the 2nd generation of superheroes," said artist Andre Szymanowicz. " It's 20 years after superheroes first arrived. They have been around for a bit, doing their superhero stuff and having their effect on culture. The world of Hell Yeah shows what happens after that and focuses on a character named Ben Day. He eventually discovers that versions of him self are being murdered in alternate dimensions, and he has to figure out how to stop it from happening to him!"

"What excites me about all this is that [writer Joe] Keatinge is telling a story here that makes it possible to have everything we love in a comic," continued Szymanowiz. " At some points, you can have time-travelling, dimension hopping, steampunk and dinosaurs all in the breadth of about 3 pages! When I go to the comic book store, I look for stuff like this, and now I get to draw it! It's a lot of fun."

It all begins with a giant-sized first issue containing a full thirty-two pages of story with no ads for the regular price of just $2.99!
32 pgs / FC
