Ssalefish GSO First Look #142 for 12.26.19

Happy Rise of Skywalker Day, everyone! I’ll be going straight from work over to the AMC Classic 18 on Koger Boulevard for the first showing at 6 PM, definitely the same theater where I saw Phantom Menace when I was 14 and Attack of the Clones when I was 17 (but obviously hoping for better). As always, be respectful of your fellow patrons when trying to discuss it in the store as the obligations are piled on heavy this time of year and some folks may not get a chance to see it this weekend.

Holiday hours! We’ll be closing on Tuesday, December 24th at 5 PM instead of the usual 7 PM for Christmas Eve, we’ll be closed all day on Wednesday, December 25th for Christmas, and we’ll have New Releases ready to go at 8 AM on Thursday, December 26th, when we’ll close at 7 PM as usual. That’s it! Hours and new releases will be business as usual for the week of New Year’s and then, weather permitting, will be that way until we open early for Free Comic Book Day in May!

The following titles are scheduled to ship on Thursday, December 26th excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:

  • Bettie Page Unbound #8

  • Criminal #11

  • Dr. Strange #1 - Mark Waid continues his critically-acclaimed run on the Sorcerer Supreme with a brand-new first issue and a cover price variant by Gabriele Dell’otto!

  • East of West #45 - the final issue of Jonathan Hickman & Nick Dragotta’s epic, apocalyptic, American western finally arrives, in only quantities equal to what was ordered on #44, so expect shelf copies to be rare!

  • Faithless TP

  • Fight Club 3 #12

  • Incoming #1 - Marvel’s next major event begins here!

  • Kill Lock #1

  • Marked #3

  • Mask I Pledge Allegiance to the Mask #3

  • Outcast #43

  • Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #7

  • Sonic the Hedgehog #24

  • Spider-Ham #1 - Art Adams connecting variant available for cover price!

  • Venom #21 - Eddie Brock goes directly from Absolute Carnage into a Venom Island prologue with Khary Randolph “2020”, Clayton Crain teaser, Mark Bagley, and Paolo Rivera variants available!

That’s it, it’s a “skip” week!
