Missed pre-ordering but the team at @variantedmonton.bsky.social had me covered with a shelf copy! Looking forward to catching up with this one, I missed the later books. One of @evandorkin.bsky.social masterpieces!

Hey look. It should go without saying but I guess these days you have to say it: no Nazi shit is allowed in our areas. Seems simple but apparently that’s not the case these days.

A head's up for this weekend: we'll be closed this Sunday as part of Thanksgiving weekend, as well as our usual Monday and Tuesday closures. We'll be back slinging comics on Wednesday!

Just a message we found outside of our little shop. 2024 has been a wild one, and we wouldn't have made it through a LITERAL FLOOD without you fine folks. Here's to all of us getting through and thriving for many more years to come.

Just updated my order info and added to my pull list at @variantedmonton.bsky.social I'm getting @kellysue.bsky.social's FML and @mckelvie.bsky.social's One For Sorrow. Having an awesome local comic shop makes reading awesome comic books even better!

A bunch of rad stuff is hitting our bargain section, including a bunch of the first SPIDER-PUNK collection - an outstanding series that bleeds ultra kinetic, anti-nazi, curb stomp energy. Perfect for folks looking to fill some time between the next Spider-Verse movie...

Folks, we will not be opening on Mon. due to an over-abundance of HANDSOME BOYS in store today. We would apologize, but we’re also not open on Mondays in general. We just wanted an excuse to show off this picture. Thanks for the visit, Odin. Consider yourself an honorary VE Intern.

Time for some #WeekendReading! I’m finally going to dig into the rest of A MAP TO THE SUN by Sloane Leong. One of Danica’s favourites! Brilliant and vibrant so far. Really captures the big feelings of being a teen. What are you reading this weekend? Or what are you reading in general?

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

This is true. There isn’t even anyone at Marvel or DC who can blacklist you from the industry. If a small publisher owes you money and aren’t paying, though, the last thing they want you to do is tell everyone. You have more power over them than they do over you.

Younger comics creators, you need to know this: if a small indy publisher makes you think you can be "blacklisted from the industry" for requesting monies owed you, they're lying, full-stop. They don't have that kind of power. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of anyone who does. Fight back.

The most demoralizing thing about my job these last few years has been writing stories about heroes with moral values that, to my surprise and bottomless disappointment, are shared by far fewer of my fellow Americans than I'd ever realized. 1/

We know we should be posting here more. Things have quieted down a bit, although that only means we’ve been told we’ll be out of our prime space for “several months”. Sooooo, we continue to be at @pemetawe.bsky.social (which has honestly been so amazing).

We're happy to be lending a hand to @variantedmonton.bsky.social by hosting them as a pop up shop in the back of our space while their permanent location is repaired. Starting Sat Feb 17 they'll be here keeping their regular hours.
