Hey, Folks!
Just a short note this week as I am coming to an end of a 13 day straight work jag and I really want to get my usual Thursday stuff done quickly today. Thursday is the day that I (obviously) get the shipping list and subscription form ready and posted as well as processing the first 40-50 orders that come through the system. I also complete my weekly Final Order Cut-Off orders for Lunar (D.C. Comics) and Penguin Random House (Marvel Comics) and that usually takes four or five hors to get completed. It is a relatively simple process, but it does tend to eat up time. Anyway, the quicker I start the quicker I can get to the beginning of my weekend.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the Facebook post or not, but D.C. Comics and Image Comics have the project of the year, the upcoming Batman Spawn #1. It will be a 48 page one shot written by Todd McFarlane and drawn by Greg Capullo and it will be due out December 13th. There will be 12 open order variant covers featuring the art of Greg Capullo, Gabrielle Del Otto, Sean Murphy, Francesco Mattina, J Scott Campbell, Jim Lee, Jason Fabok, Todd McFarlane, and Jorge Jimenez. Naturally, we will have a selection of the covers available for sale off of the New Release rack, but in order to get an idea of exactly how many copies I am going to need I am offering a deal on any preorders for the a set of 12 open order variants. The regular retail price for the 12 open order variants is $85.88 (plus tax) and we will be offering the sets for $60.00 (plus tax). If you are indeed interested in this great deal then please let me or Brian know and we will make sure you have them the week they come out. Of course, if you are simply interested in one (or two or whatever) specific covers then we can also take orders for those as well at regular cover price. Below is a list of all 12 open order variants included in the deal and you can check out our Facebook page for the images of all of the covers that are currently available for us to display. We will need to get these preorders in by 10/23/22. There will also be several incentive variants available as well, but I won’t be able to give prices for these limited edition covers until closer to their release.

Please remember that on Saturday, October 22nd, Libertarians MC and Shawn’s Irish Pub will be sponsoring a Boos and Bikes trunk or treat event in the parking lot here at the Colonial Village Shopping Center from 5-7pm. Monarch Comics will be participating in the event and you can expect to find plenty of comic book giveaways for the trick or treaters as well as a very special appearance by the Monarch Avengers cosplayers who will be available for photos! It will be fun for the whole family so make plans to swing by for some free candy and comics all in the spirit of the season!
The Monarch Comics Halloween Horror Comic Sale is still going on and we are constantly updating and adding more titles to the sale rack. All horror related graphic novels on the rack are available for 25% off cover price and that will continue through the end of the month. Stop by for some spooky thrills!
That’s it for me. Seriously, it is already 11:30 and I have got to get started before the business starts rolling in…lol. Have a great weekend and I hope to see everyone in the next week or so!
