Store News – August 2024

It is time! For another store news update thing! [Insert paragraph about it being hot and us having AC!]

Things Will Be Slower in the Rest of August

I am going in for (a minor in-patient) surgery tomorrow morning! Our hours should remain the same with Sable holding down the fort while I’m out out, but because I am forbidden from lifting more than 0.6 Complete Rat Queens Hardcover Omnibus Edition (also known as “five pounds” for people who don’t measure weight using large comic books) for the rest of August it means that things will be running slower than usual for the next few weeks.

August Board Game Sale!

We’re putting all our in stock board games and Dungeons and Dragons books on sale for the next ten days! Take 10% off ALL board games and Wizards of the Coast published official D&D books in store until 8/25!

Also we have one copy of Root that’s been sitting here for A Long Time so that’s 25% off. We only have one so it’s a first come first served thing!

So yeah please help us make room for new games and the new 2024 edition of D&D coming next month!

¿Quieres Historietas y Novela Graphica en Español?

We’ve had folks ask whether we carry comics in Spanish and at this point we’ve found a couple distributors who are able to get them to us! However, we’re the opposite of flushed in cash right now so we don’t want to stock them unless there’s still demand for them. So, dear reader, would you like us to stock comics and graphic novels in Spanish? (To be clear these are mostly US and Japanese comics/manga translated into Spanish. We are still working on finding suppliers for (indie) comics from Latin America / Spain.) Let us know!

It is Seanan McGuire SHE IS BACK!!!

As usual, take a look at our even calendar for more details and to save it to your own Computer Calendar!

Some New Comics You May Like

  • Rare Flavors – Another hit from Ram V who is becoming one of my favorite creators. What if a rakshasa wanted to become Anthony Bourdain? That’s basically the premise of this series.
  • Youth Group – New all ages book from First Second, one of our favorite publishers! When a goth girl goes to church to make her mom happy she finds out that the youth group is actually a secret order of holy warriors who exorcise demons (and also have eyerolling song sessions where they replace all the good parts of pop songs with Jesus).
  • All The Things We Didn’t Do Last Night – It’s a sexy Maria Llovet oneshot featuring a thief and an assassin who use each other as their alibi. But, you know, what if instead of Crime they did what they said they were doing instead?
  • Killer Shark in Another World – An adventurer summons a hero from our world to help defeat the demon lord and ended up getting… a B movie shark! This new series is basically Sharknado meets anime fantasy and it is as silly and hilarious as you think it’d be!
  • Tiffany’s Griffon – Brand new all ages graphic novel from Magnolia Porter, creator of Monster Pulse and The Golden Boar! When a fangirl of Legally Distinct Dragon Riders of Pern is mistaken for The Chosen One for her favorite fantasy realm, she’s going to do everything she can to make sure she stays The Chosen One.

Okay That’s It For This Month!

Except there’s one more thing: the Paradise Lust Launch Party has been moved back a month because the books are taking longer than expected in transit!

Okay now I’m done. Stay safe and cool, friends!
