Ssalefish GSO First Look #266 for 6.8.22
This past week of releases was a bit of a phantom “fifth week”, but we’re right back to regular business if not bigger & better than before this coming Wednesday!
On the home front, we have three very special announcements coming! I can say for certain that one of them will be coming on June 15th. The second should be around that time, think our outpost at Antiques & Geeks in Asheboro, but closer to home. And the last will be announced in advance, but will take place over the Independence Day weekend.
So, yeah, plenty to talk about in the coming posts!
Stephen’s So-Called Emo Life!
Hi My Name is Mark Hoppus Signature Bass - I missed out on the first round of 50 pre-orders back in February, and with those lucky few receiving them this week and subsequently showing them off, I’m champing at the bit for round 2 of 300 that was supposed to go up for order at the end of April, then May, now?
Once Upon a Time in Queens - the trailer for The Captain coming to ESPN around my birthday has me diving back into 30 for 30s and while I’m more familiar with Doc Gooden and Daryl Strawberry as Yankees, Gary Carter from the Baseball Bunch, Keith Hernandez from Seinfeld, and Ron Darling from MLB Network, it’s crazy that these guys functioned as humans, much less professionals!
Universe by Albert Monteys - available to read for whatever price you want to pay at Panel Syndicate.com, but I also ordered the Image Comics hardcover for the store if you prefer that. Fantastic sci-fi, and issue #5 is one of the best comics I’ve read in years.
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, June 8th (Tuesday June 7th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
