Who do you want to meet?

As you may or may not know, our 10th Anniversary is coming up, and we're intending to host a pretty amazing event. One of our goals is to bring in two or three comic pros from out of town for a signing/sketching and generally hanging out. But, in order to make this day as much about you as it is for us (after all, we wouldn't be having a 10th anniversary without all of you), we'd like your input on which pros you might like to see there. We've drawn up a short list that we'd like your input on, but feel free to request others. Please email us your suggestions at orders@thedragonweb.com. Thanks!
Possible guests include:
Darwyn Cooke
Kevin Maguire
Phil Jimenez
Matthew Clark
Michael Lark
Dale Eaglesham
Cliff Chiang

Comic Foundry

It's not often that I endorse a comic magazine, but this magazine requires one to change one's habits. I stopped reading Wizard some time ago because I was tired of them constantly paying lip-service to DC and Marvel without ever looking critically at their products or the industry. Then, while at NYCC a couple of weeks ago, I met the founder of Comic Foundry, a new magazine about comics, now on its second issue. This magazine covers the gamut of the comic world, including non-mainstream titles, comic book fashion, and articles on other pop culture spheres, such as music, gaming, and movies. There are also interviews with comic-related celebrities like Kristen Bell and Avril Lavigne, and articles such as the "All Star Batman and Robin Drinking Game". This is a witty, smart, well-written publication, and you will soon see it at The Dragon. Meanwhile, there will soon be copies of issues one and two in the store for you to peruse and see if you are interested in picking up some worthwhile industry reading. I cannot say enough good things about this publication, and I know you will agree.

Ordering by Email:

There's a new email address to make orders with The Dragon - orders@thedragonweb.com - simple and easy! If you are making a Previews order or want to update your current subscription, please email us at that address, so that we can process your order more quickly and easily! Thanks!

Comic Wednesdays

Comics are available for pickup from 4pm onward.

Comic of the Week: No Hero 0

Warren Ellis and Juan Jose Ryp begin another new series with Avatar Press this week. Enter the Front Line, where anyone can have super powers and be a hero if they want it badly enough. If they want it badly enough they'd kill or be killed for it that is. This zero issue is not a preview, the story begins here by the team that brought you Black Summer, and at it’s super low price how could you say no?

Cool Items to Order: Janes in Love

Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg team up again for another Plain Janes adventure. The Janes are playing cupid and competing in a high profile art contest, but how will that affect the group? If you haven't picked up the first quirky and fantastic Minx graphic novel The Plain Janes then you definitely should. You will then understand why you should check out page 113 of the June Previews.

Making Orders

Remember, you get a free Previews every month with your membership or subscription. Flip through it, see what books you want to add or remove from your subscription, and let us know. We have lots of books to keep track of, and we need your help to make sure we order the right numbers the first time, so you don't have to wait for reorders. So, go through Previews, and insure that you get the books you want. You can email us any changes, or simply mention them when you come into the store next.

CUSTOMER READING COPIES!

We now have marked copies of comics on our shelves especially for your reading pleasure. Please feel free to flip through these comics but we ask that you refrain from reading other issues on the shelves. This will help lower the risk of comics becoming damaged due to improper treatment. Thank you!
