The back store (outside and around the corner) will host the back issues, $3 posters, Marvel DVD-Roms and discount toys / statues.
WHAT’S ON SALE?
In the Back Store:
Half Off Backstock Comics — over 200,000 back issue comics bagged & boarded and priced $10 and less.
Toy and Statue Clearance — Save big on dozens of statues and hundreds of toys.
Posters: $3 each — Select posters featuring really solid images from Marvel and DC (and Vertigo).
Marvel DVD ROMS — Buy One, Get One (of equal or lesser value) Free in the ANNEX LOCATION ONLY! I stress only in the back area because only our overstock is available for this savings. Choose from Spider-Man, FF, Ghost Rider, Avengers, X-Men and Hulk.
In the Front (main) Store:
Manga Sale — Huge amounts of manga at crazy discounts will be in the main store. The beginning of the alphabet is located by the front counter with the rest available towards the back of the store. Save big! BUY ONE MANGA, GET ONE (of equal or lesser value) FREE. Better yet, BUY FOUR MANGA, GET FIVE (of equal or lesser value) FREE. And the best value; BUY TEN MANGA, GET FIFTEEN (of equal or lesser value) FREE!
Trade Paperback Sale — Save 50-90% on thousands of trade paperbacks and graphic novels. How many? Almost 5000. Seriously, it took me three days just to make the stickers. We have over 700 different volumes to choose from. These are located in the front section of the store along the north wall. Each book is marked with the sale price.
Showcase Comics (selected): 50% off — We’ve pulled 5 long boxes of our high-end collectible comics available for half-off the graded value. They are separated from the other stock and specially marked on the Showcase Comics counter (where the variant covers are normally).
Bagged Sets — Over 20 long boxes of comics marked down from true value for huge savings! These are complete sets often including one-shots, annuals and even bonus series! Each is clearly marked with the true value, our price and the books included. Find these in the front alcove by the right windows.
