Comics Newsletter, Sept 20, 2021
Nothing like a few good downpours to remind us that we still live in the Pacific Northwest. But I absolutely enjoyed listening to the rain this past weekend. I hope you did, too. Great comic-reading weather. 😉

I just received our first solicit for this soon-to-be-released book “The Most Important Comic Book On Earth.” Not only does it look like an amazing line-up of writers and contributors, this will also make a great gift for the upcoming holidays. AND, it says it will support several “projects and organizations” who are fighting to save the planet. So, the more I order, the merrier. I, for one, am looking forward to reading this! You can PREORDER this book now. Releases November 11th. Based on who’s involved and the scale of marketing, this will sell out.

Below are this week’s #1 issues and a few new graphic novels to boot. Stop in while they’re still still available. Rumors, movies and tie-ins are driving the secondary market this year and it’s been a thrill to watch as comics continue to grow in popularity. With more great stories on the way and more folks looking for different forms of entertainment during the pandemic, we hope comics continue to stay hot.
