It’s still 90 degrees outside, so it sure doesn’t seem like it, but it’s time to start thinking about Halloween, and more specifically Halloween ComicFest 2019!

Our guest of honor this year will be COPRA creator Michel Fiffe, who we’re flying in from NYC! Throughout stints on G.I. Joe (Sierra Muerte for IDW), Bloodstrike (Brutalists for Image), and All-New Ultimates (for Marvel), Fiffe’s been a tour-de-force, self-publishing one of the most compelling superhero books on the stands, and now he’s moving his efforts to Image to reach an even wider audience!

I hope that while I’m up in Chicago this weekend for Ellie’s first birthday party, you all come by and see Jay & Colton at the shop to participate in Batman Day 2019! It’s the 80th anniversary of the Dark Knight, and we’re marking the occasion by giving away a FREE exclusive variant to Dark Nights Metal: The Batman Who Laughs #1 and a preview of next week’s Batman Nightwalker original graphic novel! Plus get Buy 2 Get 1 FREE on all Bat family graphic novels, toys & statues!

Happy Birthday to my niece, Ellie Adeline, who turns one today!

Don’t forget about Greensboro Comicon taking place this SUNDAY, September 15th from 10 AM - 5 PM! This is our last North Carolina show of the year so we’re pulling out all of the stops with at least 25 long boxes of $1 comics, the combined might of the Ssalefish corporate backwall, and more surprises you won’t want to miss. Grab your tickets at the link above and walk right in!

Hoping to get away to Myrtle Beach this weekend if the Hurricane Dorian evacuation order is lifted by tomorrow afternoon! This week’s cover is “Natives” off blink-182’s seventh full studio album, Neighborhoods, with my Epiphone ES-333 Tom DeLonge Signature, which obviously has an extremely hot Gibson Dirty Fingers pick-u, all getting ready for Mark, Travis, and Matt’s new album Nine on the 20th!

I hope to see everyone out at the Labor Day Sale this Saturday, August 31st through Monday, September 2nd during normal business hours! Regular back issues will be 30% OFF, but you can save an addition 10% OFF by wearing either the Game of Thrones or new Star Wars Ssalefish shirts! All graphic novels, toys and statues are Buy Two Get One FREE, with Buy Five Get Five FREE unlockable while wearing one of the tees! We’ll also be busting out a bunch of discount toys, Pops, and graphic novels for $5 each or 5 for $20! It’s gonna be one heck of a Labor Dabor…

What is Marvel Comics #1000? If you shop at Ssalefish Comics in Greensboro, it’s just $5.99 instead of $9.99, that’s what it is!

Imagine that since Marvel Comics #1 in 1939, the House of Ideas had been publishing a monthly title literally called Marvel Comics for the last 80 years (approximately 960 issues, but it’s Marvel, so there HAD to be some double-shipping in there) and you get to 1,000. Marvel Comics #1000 will contain one page from each year of those eight decades. It is THE Marvel 80th anniversary celebration.

Available for just $10 in sizes Small through 4XL, if you wear one (or our previous Game of Thrones inspired shirt) during the 30% OFF Backstock Sale we’ll be having on Labor Day weekend (Saturday, August 31st through Monday, September 2nd), you can take an additional 10% OFF the already discounted price!

I’m pumped to announce to the world that after 2 1/2 hours on the phone yesterday and another half hour this morning, I’ve booked my perfect day at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Those reservations and getting there for the 6 AM rope drop to hopefully ride Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in all three positions before the sun is even up is all I can do to ensure my best possible time on Batuu!

Greensboro Comicon will be returning to the Greensboro Marriott Downtown at 304 N. Greene Street this Sunday, September 15th, and they need your help! Get FREE admission to the show by working a 2-3 hour shift as a Henchman! APPLY HERE!
