A new series from Oni Press and writer Charles Soule and artist Alberto Jiminez Alburquerque entitled Letter 44 is now available to read for free. Well, the entire first issue anyway. The second issue is out now. io9 describe it thusly: the newest president is taken aback when he reads the letter from the man who preceded him — a man who seemed to tank the economy and embroil the nation in needless wars — but was actually secretly preparing America for an imminent alien invasion.
Now an exciting annual tradition, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are up for grabs. It would appear it’s mainly centred in the U.S, but have a look at some great opportunities for cheap pop culture goodness below.
UPDATE: There’s even more sale opportunities at Comics Alliance, including discounts on purveyors of art prints, action figures, and more.
My fave film website is Dark Horizons, run by fellow Aussie Garth Franklin, and here’s their exhaustive rundown of what Amazon has to offer from boxsets, Blu-ray and more.

COLLECTOR’S PARADISE GOES BEYOND BLACK FRIDAY SALE WITH “BUY 2 GET 1 FREE ON ANYTHING IN THE STORE”, COMICS BY THE POUND, AND A TWO WEEK PROGRESSIVE DISCOUNT GRAPHIC NOVEL SALE AT BOTH COLLECTOR’S PARADISE STORES!
Los Angeles area’s Leading Retail Comic Book Store Chain expands the concept of Black Friday Sale into a weeks-long event with unprecedented discounts throughout the stores, and a Graphic Novel Sale that tests your patience for two weeks.
Collector’s Paradise Comics & Gallery, is proud to announce that we will, once again, be bringing Progressive Graphic Novel Sale as part of our Black Friday promotion to Los Angeles area this year.
“Last year’s Black Friday two-week event was fantastic.” said owner Edward Greenberg, adding: ” We learned so much about how to do this, and will use the lessons this year to provide an even better experience for our customers.”
While many stores host Black Friday events, Collector’s Paradise decided that this year they would try out a new approach: Buy 2 Get 1 FREE on Anything in the store, mix and match. A customer can buy an action figure, a t-shirt and a graphic novel, and the lowest of the three items is FREE. It’s a “design your own sale Sale”.
Comics by the Pound is another way to make a Sale more fun for the customers. There will be a huge selection of comic books available in boxes, for customers to look through and pick the ones they would like to buy for just $3 per pound. Considering an average single comic book is about $4 these days, getting a bunch of them for just $3 is an amazing deal. Not only that, but every purchase gives you an entry into our raffle where one winner per store will win an amount up to what they have bought for FREE .
The most ambitious part of the Black Friday Sale is something not heard of in the comic book industry, the Progressive Discount Graphic Novel Sale. On BlackFriday, the stores will have boxes full of graphic novels at 50% off. Whatever does not sell that day, will be 52% off next day, 54% off the following day, and so on, until 2 weeks later, when it reaches 80% off for whatever is still left over. Every customer will have to make a decision on whether to wait out for a higher discount or to buy the books before someone else grabs them. It’s a fun and exciting way to get deals on awesome reads.
Please visit Collector’s Paradise’ official site, ComicsAndCards.net for full details about our Black Friday and Progressive GN Sale events.For additional information, please contact Edward Greenberg, managing partner of Collector’s Paradise @ 818-999-9455 (business) or by email, atstore@comicsandcards.net
Previews is a 500+ page, monthly catalogue filled with mainly comics, but also toys, games, clothes, etc, that both retailers and customers can order from. Each issue lets you know what is coming out in 2 months’ time. The latest Previews has 3 goodies that are definitely worth ordering.
Finally! There’s no mention of any special features, and putting B’wana Beast on the cover seems an odd choice, but one of the funnest and funniest animated shows of recent years is now on Blu-ray. Official details below.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR features the voices of Jason O’Mara (Vegas, Terra Nova), Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs), Justin Kirk (Weeds), Alan Tudyk (Suburgatory), Serenity, Firefly), Michelle Monaghan (Mission Impossible III), Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds), Sean Astin (LOTR films), Bruce Thomas (Army of Darkness) and Steve Blum (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox). Producer is James Tucker and director is Jay Oliva from a script by Heath Corson.
This year is the 20th anniversary of Mike Mignola’s very successful creation Hellboy. There are many ways to celebrate, including reading The Midnight Circus, an awesome new OGN written by Mignola with awesome art by Duncan Fegredo.
