Heads-UP: LOCKE & KEY by Joe Hill looks completely awesome

I recently received an advance copy of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's LOCKE & KEY from the folks at IDW, and lemme tell ya, IT'S GREAT! If you like excellent writing, enigmatic locations, and fear-filled suspense, LOCKE & KEY is for you!

From IDW's website:

Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder: Locke & Key. Written by Hill and featuring astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez (Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show, Beowulf), Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them.... and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all...

HERE'S an awesome video trailer for LOCKE & KEY.

HERE'S more info from IDW for LOCKE & KEY.

And HERE'S Joe Hill's very own 'blog.


Oh, and did you know that Joe Hill is Stephen King's son?

A Reminder to Subscribers

Dear Comix Connection Subscription Box Holders!

This note is to remind everyone of Comix Connection's Subscription Box policies. As you know, if you buy comic books on a regular basis and want to be certain that you don't miss any of your favorite titles, we PULL them when they come in on Wednesdays and HOLD them for you until you come in to pick them up! There's NO CHARGE for the service and we pull our subscriber orders BEFORE we put the new books on the shelves... this ensures that the subscriber's orders are filled first.

To refresh the fine print:

1) We ask that you pick up the comic books you asked to have held at least ONCE EVERY FIVE WEEKS. If you do not pick up your comic books in a timely manner, we will attempt to call you to see when you are planning on picking them up. If you still do not appear within SIX weeks, we may cancel your subscription box and put any comics that we had held for you back on the rack. Subscription boxes will be reinstated on a case-by-case basis. YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR PHONE NUMBER CURRENT with us! Please check with the Staff to see if all your information is up-to-date!

2) You may add or drop any titles from your subscription box at any time, but we do expect you to pick up what has already arrived in your box. Let us know as soon as possible if you intend to drop a title!

3) We sell the Diamond PREVIEWS catalog to our subscribers at our cost ($2.70 at this point) and the separate MARVEL Catalog is either free with purchase of PREVIEWS or sold at our cost ($0.50).

4) There is NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF BOOKS required to have a Comix Connection Subscription and NO FEE or PRE-PAYMENT EVER.

5) Anything "Special Ordered" through the PREVIEWS Catalog (T-shirts, posters, toys, graphic novels, whatever) will also be held for you when it arrives - you will be notified of it's arrival by a NOTE in your box! These "Special Orders" also need to be picked up WITHIN FIVE WEEKS of their arrival. If they are not picked up in a timely manner, they will be racked in the store for anyone to purchase and you will lose your ability to place Special Orders with Comix Connection.

6) You can also be put on our GRAPHIC NOVEL PERMANENT WANT LIST if you wish to receive say, every volume of the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN trade paperbacks or NARUTO manga trade paperbacks or STAR WARS CLONE ADVENTURES DIGESTs as they come out... just let us know!

As always, we greatly appreciate your business... thanks!
The Gang at Comix Connection

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them of your friendly Comix Connection Counter Monkey!

A Reminder

THIS WEEK'S COMICS WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL FRIDAY!


That is all.

The Colonel takes it to a completely different level

Gaze in amazement at an entire new paradigm in beverage consumption:

THE HALF GALLON BUCKET, or
"THE BLOATER"

(That's me standing beside it.)

Available at KFC, surely this gargantuan drum of beverage will satisfy the needs of even the most demanding of sugary liquid consumer! That's a whopping 64 ounces or well over 1750 ml! Thats more than five cans of soda in one handy drink pail. I love this country!

I first ran across this on my most recent trip home from Florida. I almost cried with joy when my sweetie brought it out to the car, filled with iced tea. Subsequently, I must've seen every single rest stop in the great state of South Carolina...

This one's for amthcaictm.

AMELIA RULES the stage!

Local artist/writer Jimmy Gownley's AMELIA RULES! comic is set to take to the stage in December!

From Diamond Comics Distributor's website:

Adapted from a Christmas story that appeared in Amelia Rules! Volume 1: The Whole World’s Crazy, the musical details the adventures of super-hero wannabe Reggie Grabinsky as he recruits other would-be heroes to try to prove Santa is a fraud. Boasting a mostly child cast (featuring 11-year-old Kasey Perkins as Amelia), the production, which runs from December 6-7 in Marlborough, NH features music and lyrics by local musician/composer Michael Cohen and is produced by Small Pond Productions. Plans to make the musical available to other theater companies are in the works. For more information, please visit www.smallpondpresents.com.

“As editor of the Amelia Books I’ve been with these characters since their inception, and watched them grow and mature over the years,” said Cohen. “Knowing them so well made writing the songs for this musical so much easier, more like writing songs for old friends.”

“It’s going to be a real thrill to see all these talented people bring my comic book to life,” said Amelia Rules! creator Gownley. “Michael’s songs are great, and I can’t wait until opening night!”

The widely acclaimed series deals with the relocation of Amelia Louise McBride from Manhattan to a small town after her parents’ divorce, and her efforts to cope with the traumatic event. Like Charles Schulz’s Peanuts and Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes, Gownley’s funny, poignant and heartwarming stories appeal to a wide demographic, including educators, librarians, parents, kids and the young-at-heart.

The above paragraph is absolutely true... if you've never read AMELIA RULES, stop by either store and grab a copy of the Free Comic Book Day AMELIA RULES! comic book. We like to keep that one in stock all year 'round!

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS, Jimmy! That is very very cool!

THIS WEEK'S COMICS SHIP ON THURSDAY, NOT WEDNESDAY!

A Christmas Story House

I'm sure you're all familiar with the modern classic A CHRISTMAS STORY, so there's no need for me to remind you of the adventures of Ralphie and his family at Chistmas in some indeterminate late-1930s/early 1940s America in some indeterminate middle-American town... author Jean Shepard really taps into what we all would imagine a purely nostalgic Christmas would look like. Anyway, I'm sure this'll be on again around the holidays and you can see all the familiar A CHRISTMAS STORY icons like the Old Man, The Furnace, The Bumpass's Dogs and of course The Lamp.

Well how about a visit to the actual HOUSE used in the filming? Yes, you can journey to that quintessential American Christmas icon, and maybe even meet some of the actors from “A Christmas Story”, like Randy, Flick, Scut Farkus, Grover Dill, Miss Shields, and the evil elves at FIRST ANNUAL “A CHRISTMAS STORY” CONVENTION on FRIDAY & SATURDAY, NOV. 23 & 24, 2007 in Cleveland!

Whadda ya say? Who's up for a ROADTRIP?

Gemstone Publishing moves to York!

According to our pal Mike Bollinger, Gemstone Publishing, the publisher of the Disney line of comic books is moving to good old York, Pennsylvania (thus saving Mike and friends a long daily commute!) Operations will commence from the York location this week. Arriving along with Gemstone Publishing will be Diamond International Galleries, specialists in vintage comic books and related artwork, and Hake's Americana and Collectibles, the world's largest and most impressive catalog auction of all things pop culture related! Gemstone Publishing is one of the arms of the mighty Diamond Comics Distribution empire, where all comic shops in the US (and most of the world) get their comic books.

Welcome to York, guys!

HERE'S an article from the York Daily Record, and HERE'S an article from SCOOP.

Diamond Comics Distributor CEO Steve Geppi had this to say about York:

“York has an exciting dynamic to it. It’s definitely a city and a region on the move, and we’re excited to be a part of that. This is a terrific entry into a rich marketplace, both in terms of the history to be found and the collectors with a vibrant interest in it. I am personally very pleased to be able to create this opportunity.”

I guess that means all the good auction/flea market stuff within 100 miles of York will be all vacuumed up...
