That's right, we appreciate the people who have subscriptions to weekly
comics through our store. So much, in fact, that we're having a
Subscriber Appreciation Week, going from Thursday, November 1st, to
Wednesday, November 7th. Anyone who comes in and updates their
subscription information during that time will be entered to win a one
year subscription to 10 comic titles--a value of over $300!
Of course, we're still fairly egalitarian here at Fanboy, so we want
to give non-subscribers a fair shake. Anyone who starts a subscription
with us will also be entered in the drawing for the free year of 10
comic titles! Heck, if a current subscriber brings in a friend who signs up for a box, he'll get entered again!
That weekend, from Saturday, November 3rd, to Tuesday, November 6th,
we'll also be having a sale for subscribers where nearly every
comic-related-item in the store will be 20-50% off--but only for subscribers!
Who doesn't love the Pokemans?
Marvel Zombies: The Covers HC
$19.99
It's good to see that Arthur Suydam has brought himself back to the forefront after allegations of tracing other artists' work with his great covers for Marvel Zombies where he traces other artists' work--and then ZOMBIFIES IT! That's right, all you need to do to go from 'hack' to 'featured in Wizard Magazine' is erace a few of the lines you traced and replace them with rotting flesh or bones or something before you paint it. Isn't capitalism wonderful?
Southland Tales: The Prelude Saga
$29.95
I don't know anything about this Southland Tales nonsense--heck, I haven't even seen Donnie Darko--but apparently there are a lot of people out there who are looking forward to it. There were three small digest-sized comics put out about the whole thing, and now there's a collection of all three of them. I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about with this thing, but I would imagine someone out there does!
The Spirit Vol. 1 HC
$24.99
One of the best comics to come out in the past year has been Darwyn Cooke's fresh new take on Will Eisner's The Spirit. Each issue is its own little self-contained story, with great art and great writing. However, not everyone digs the issues, so they've put out this nice-looking hardcover. Seriously, this book is one of the best titles DC makes. Even if you've never read the Spirit, it's enjoyable and lavishly illustrated. It was pretty gutsy to take on a character created by the father of graphic literature, but Cooke makes the whole comic feel completely natural.
World of Warcraft Series 1 Action Figures
$19.99 each
So, uh, here we go. Action figures based on World of Warcraft. They look pretty cool, in these pictures here.
Well, that's all I've got on this one.
How's it going out there, ladies?

As usual, a great many comic books have been pushed back to a later date. This news is so shocking that we are now developing a weekly section where we announce comic delays, so you can better know when your favorite books are coming out. Or when the next delay announcement will be, whatever. We'll also include other schedule announcements, like different products coming back in stock, second printings, and the like. But this is the comic industry, and we all know which type of announcment we will see the most.
