Ssalefish GSO First Look #238 for 11.24.21

Lots of news this week, starting with Local Comic Shop Day, taking place Wednesday, November 24th this year! We’ll have exclusive, limited edition variants for Ed Brubaker & Marcos Martin’s Friday #1, Jim Mahfood’s Grrl Scouts Stone Ghost #1, House of Slaughter #1, Brian Michael Bendis & Stephen Byrne’s Joy Operations #1 (more below), Magic Master of Metal #1, Vault’s Radio Apocalypse #1, Boom’s Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body #1, the first appearance of the Governor in Walking Dead #27, DC vs. Vampires #2, and Detective Comics #1045 (Venom #2 is delayed)! These cannot be pre-ordered as the purpose of the event is to drive more people into the store that day, but they’ll make handsome additions to any collection!

Then on Thursday, November 25th, we’ll be CLOSED for Thanksgiving!

We won’t be announcing our Black Friday weekend sale details until next Wednesday, but we WILL be open at 8 AM on Friday, November 26th in Greensboro for doorbuster deals, so set you alarms now!

Diamond Comic Distributors have sent an email stating that their shipments for next week should be on time (we already have tracking numbers, so here’s hoping), and we should have this week’s books in hand and processed by 1 PM tomorrow, Friday, November 19th (we’ll update social media when we’re all set)!
