Ongoing Comic Books Thread

As a comic seller I probably shouldn't mention this but if you get the Libby App, you can connect it to the Calgary Public Library and instantly borrow the majority of the trades and graphic novels.

They have a bunch of Tynion stuff (Department of Truth, Something is Killing the Children, W0rldtr33, etc).

I'm currently going through all the omnibuses of Astro City, which is an amazing series. Doesn't get enough love.

I just picked up the first trade of "The Nice House By The Sea" on my last trip to Redd Skull. Looking forward to reading that.

W0rldtr33 is losing me, though. I've gotten through both of the current trades, and it's just not doing it. I'll likely give it one more before making the final decision, though.

.. you don't really sell graphics though!

I've read and reread the first 14 volumes of the Walking Dead prob 10+ times and then lost interest. I finally found the final 6 volumes in my garage. Will finally finish it.

I just picked up the Popmart Gong Kingdom Come action figures of Captain Marvel - Shazam and Superman. Shazam arrived already, still waiting on Superman. Damn these guys look awesome.

I’m not really an action figure collector and found out about these a little late so I got them on EBay.

Next weekend, Saturday, March 7th from 10am to 4pm, I'm hosting the 2nd Annual Calgary Comic Book Show at the Acadia Recreation Complex (240 90 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2J 6P6, Canada).

We've doubled the size of the venue but only added 50% more vendors. Last year was a lesson in room capacity.

35 comic book vendors and artists will be in attendance. The only rule I had for the vendors was that 50% of their table be devoted to comic books so there will be lots of boxes to dig through.

It's a FREE event and we'll have door prizes and raffle prizes with proceeds going to the Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (https://usay.ca). They will also have a table in the artist alley, promoting their graphic novel that teaches the Blackfoot language.
