Web-Slinger in the White House, Spider-Man meets Obama in Amazing Spider-Man #583

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Web-Slinger in the White House, Spider-Man meets Obama in Amazing Spider-Man #583:

Hey Friends!

This Wednesday, January 14th, Spidey meets President Elect Obama in Amazing Spider-Man 583.

Newsarama printed:

The issue will have a “variant” cover by artist Phil Jimenez featuring Obama giving a thumbs-up as the webslinger quips, “Hey, if you get to be on my cover, can I be on the dollar bill?” The Obama cover was revealed early to retailers so they could adjust their orders accordingly.

So…

Wade ordered pretty well on this, as he usually does, so give him a call or an email if you are interested in getting your hands on one.  They will be sure to sell out fast!!

Holiday Hours!!!

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

No, we’re not staying open later for you last-minute shoppers, we’re cutting down  for two days for “family time.” (eewie)

- Wednesday, December 24: open until 8. (So if any of you jerks try to come in at 10, we won’t be here!)

- Thursday, December 25 (Christmas, y00!): CLOSED!

So enjoy the holdays and whatnot, and please don’t try to break into the store while we’re not here. (Or I’ll get our trusty watchdog Mary to bite your head off! [whadd’am I kidding, she’s not trusty at all])

LABOR DAY STRIKES AGAIN!!

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

wadeshaw:

Just wanted ta let everyone know that the new shipment for this week is delayed until THURSDAY, SEPT. 4 due to the Labor Day “holiday”.  Seriously, how is it that Diamond Comic Distributors keeps closing on all these lame holi-wannabes?  What’s next, they shut down the works for Secretary’s Day, or National Take A Crap In Your Pants Day?? (well, I suppose that one would be justified… )

But anyway, stuff’ll be in bright an’ early on Wednesday — come in then, there’s still some pie left!

Moving stuff around

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

So  I guess some spambots found an exploit in our old blog software and made this happen:

But I'm not badware!

Which is annoying, because we don’t want to harm your computer. Just the opposite, really.

As a quick fix, I set up a Comic Madness blog group on Tumblr. Not having to maintain the blogging software ourselves should probably keep the spambots out. If you want to read any of the past two years worth of posts (now stripped of all malicious JavaScript), you can do so here.

Remember the good old days?
