Starting today and lasting through the new comic delivery on Sept. 9, all Ultimate trades are 20% off as part of the latest Daily Deal! That means Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimates….you get the picture.
That oughtta spice up your weekend!
Enjoy!
Well, Bracken’s ego aside, last week’s poll spotlighted your favorite works by Scottish comics writer and possible otherworlder, Grant Morrison. There were 10 fine choices as the man has been cranking out comics for 2 decades plus! The clear cut winner with 50% of the votes was the excellent All Star Superman!
This week’s poll focuses on the holiday weekend. It’s the unofficial end of summer and a 3 day weekend. Figured I’d celebrate that fact in my own way with a poll. Let’s see if we can rack up more votes than last week! Take a moment this weekend and place your vote.
And Bracken, you know we love ya, man! Even if you’re not a possible otherworlder!
Hola!
I don’t want to be that guy who gripes about the weather but sheesh!
Did Gaea have to make it this hot the week I begin walking back and
forth to work? Crom! I’ll be a lanky ranger by October at this rate.
That can be my costume for Halloween……What happened to Mike?
ITEM: And with that subtle segue, the Comicazi Halloweeniversary is
slated for Saturday October 23. The same Bat-time and same Bat-channel
as in years previous.
ITEM: He probably won’t be able to make it to the Halloweeniversary
but I wanted to give a big shout out to one of Comicazi’s favorite
sons…Kentucky. The man became a father for the second time last
Thursday. Congratulations to you and Meg my friend!!
You know, a second-generation comic reader has gotten me all pumped to
get right to the comic list for next week! So I’m going to!! Don’t
forget that Labor Day pushes delivery back a day so that new comics
arrive on THURSDAY the 9th.

and read it!
Just the other day, Kamal was here for the Comicazi Book Club meeting.
He’s swiftly discovering the appeal of comics and made this
observation…..your new Comicazi Quote of the Week:
“Judge Dredd is like John Maclain who ate glass instead of stepped on
it and is in a permanent state of intestinal discomfort.”
Damn. I’m hungry.
ITEM: And don’t forget Dave’s Toynerd blog! Every week there’s a FREE
giveaway. You could be the lucky winner of something from Dave’s
cavernous collection. Seriously. His toy collection is like the final
scene of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Who knows what you might win?
Probably not a Judeo-Christian religious relic but you’ve got to play
to find out. Tune in tomorrow for the details at toynerd.com
All right! Hope that everyone enjoys their long holiday weekend!!

Last week’s poll generated some traffic above the norm of the usual numbers. And some surprises, too. Kurt Russell must really resonate with you at least as much as it does with Bernie.
Of the 10 movie selections there was a tie for 1st place! Big Trouble In Little China, OK, sure……and Sky High?? Really?? Wow. Not Tombstone or The Thing? Oh well. The votes speak.
This week I swing it back to the comic world and pose to you this:
Greetings gang!!
After 4 days of rain and gray skies and temperatures that would make October jealous, the sun is shining and blue skies reign. It’s as if the world knew there was a Comicazi newsletter today!!
Lots of info this week so let’s do it to it!
ITEM: There’s a new Daily Deal this time out! All Judge Dredd and 2000 AD graphic novels are 20% off! Can you stand it? You’ll have to. It’s the law!
And the bonanza that is the $2 Star Wars figure sale continues! I’m not Forcing you to come in and buy some (groan) but they’re moving faster than a spice freighter. You should probably come down to Comicazi Prime and check ‘em out!
ITEM: Dave has another Toynerd blog up today: http://www.toynerd.com/?p=4226
Tomorrow’s Toynerd kicks off the next FREE giveaway so be sure to check out toynerd.com for all the toy news you can handle. Last week’s winner was the Mother Of Rock, Darcie, and she won a very cool NBX Trivial Pursuit game. Maybe you could win the next time! But ya gots to play!
ITEM: And speaking of Darcie, she is the progenitor of the latest Quote. Yes, Dar, I told you to beware! I bring to thee, the newest Comicazi Quote of the Week:
“I give good telephone.”
If you have her number, give her a call
ITEM: It will be here before you know it so mark your calendars!! The 10th annual Comicazi Halloweeniversary party!! This is just a teaser to whet your appetites. More details to follow.
ITEM: And following along the lines of that last comment, here’s another teaser announcement. An upcoming magazine has an article all about comic art in Somerville and Comicazi is featured as well as local artists in the city. Grab up your copies of the September issue of the Somerville Scout!
ITEM: The last day of August is this coming Tuesday. And what better way to close out the month than with a meeting of the CBC? This week, the Book Club gang discusses Incognegro from Vertigo Comics. A compelling fact-based tale, it promises to be very interesting. And maybe even local guy Tak of Secret Asian Man fame will show up? He threatened to do so
Whew!! That was a lot of stuff coming atcha fast and furious. Well, comparatively to the last couple editions, that is. Kind of cranking it out as the sunshine has brought out all manner of folks to the best little comic shop in the greater Boston area. And the humblest. All kinds of new folks have been popping in the past couple of hours. Don’t let them grab your favorite collectibles, Comicazi Faithful!! Get on down here and get your stuff. Or something else that you really really want. And I wouldn’t mind a lemonade or iced tea. Thanks. You’re groovy
