Hi Comic-Lover!

Or dare I say: -friend?

A very, very intense year comes to a close. Well, not quite, yet. Because we have some more stuff very intense lined up for you!

I apologize in advance for the “jumpy” communication style in today’s newsletter. It’s late Friday afternoon (according to market research the absolute WORST time to send newsletters! Just second in line to “don’t bother to send it at all!”) and we still have lots to do... Because: OMNIGEDDON IS REAL.

So let’s JUMP right into it.

A hint at our Sale items? Nope. Just a “cool” Speedball pose!

Our Black Friday Sale

… starts Wednesday 23.11. 11.00h

Why on a Wednesday, when it is named Black Friday?

Because… why not? And yeah, trying to get ahead of other shops craving your budget might be one reason. The only one, you say? Well, you said it. Not me.

What will be on sale? Oh, lots and lots of good stuff! Omnis, Slipcases, Oversized HCs, Epics… something of everything. One thing’s for sure: It will be quite walt-some!

🙄

Yes, we should JUMP ahead.

The Omni-Box Program

The pullbox for Omnis idea we were teasing at in our last newsletter got a bunch of you really excited. The reason we haven’t announced it, yet, is that UPS has hinted at price increases in the new year. And we just got the numbers and luckily it’s not THAT bad. Which means our flat shipping rate will also increase. Those are the good news of our times.

Anyway, I’ll work on the final details for the program over the weekend (spoiler: It’s not completely intuitive at first. But it makes a lot of sense, when you think about it some more. It’s basically the Jonathan Hickman of Pullboxes!) and you’ll finally get some hard facts next week.

If you want to be one of the early birds you can subscribe HERE and you’ll be informed FIRST. Even better, you’ll also get a special 10% discount on the yearly fee (which includes all shipping costs for one year + much, MUCH M O R E !)

Previews Pre-Orders Closing This Sunday

Final order cutoff for this month’s Previews Pre-Orders & single issue Pull-lists customers is Sunday, 20.11., 23:59h.

This month’s highlight is probably the first (of three? Just speculating here!) Invincible Oversized Hardcover Compendiums. Its like the regular softcover compendiums. So, why upgrade? Because HARDCOVER. And the price is quite good with 84.90€ for a 100$ book from non-Marvel-DC.

Second in line: The complete Halo Jones Hardcover. The one Alan Moore book you haven’t read, yet. Rebellion/2000AD books tend to go OOP fast, so it might be wise to secure a copy. Or just have a look at what the last HC edition is going for currently…

And I will leave you with a statement from a famous writer (with a little add-on by Walt):

"Reading fiction (IN OMNIBUS FORMAT) is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking, and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps." – Ann Patchett
