By Loran Like every other Transformers line in history, Generations is chock-full of repaints (well, redecos) and retools. Of course, this got some people’s panties in a twist, but what do you expect? It’s Transformers. […]
By Mat K. So, there’s not actually any kind of special TokyoPop event going on, so much as its just a major release week for them, and kudos to them for that. After last week’s […]
This year for Christmas, as with all years, I gave my Dad Comic Books. My family, maybe like yours, doesn’t understand me at times. Some of them try, many of them don’t. I admit I’m […]
Yes, comics are coming out on time this week. Despite the holidays they are for sale on Wednesday the 29th and January 5th , as per usual. Each week we offer our customers a limited, one-day-only (new […]
If you’re on our mailing list (and if you’re not you should get on that; there’s a sign-up box on nearly every page of our website) you received an email from us over Christmas weekend […]
By Chris Troy Every Christmas, a strange man with a funny accent comes to visit in an odd flying device. Granted his Christmas adventures usually don’t make it to US shore until 6 months after […]
By Loran Once again, Hasbro dives into the classic Marvel Comics villains for their new toylines. This time, it’s Thunderwing, the insane Matrix-obsessed Decepticon that once came close to taking out Unicron. Like most classic […]
By Loran It’s time for the return of the Unicorn-y build log! Apologies for not delivering last week, let’s just say my finals week was like being stuck in a Zeon POW camp. Of course, […]

Each week we offer our customers a limited, one-day-only (new comic day, to be exact) deep discount offer on a new graphic novel or comic book. This week’s paperback for the parsimonious is the brand […]
By Christopher Troy DC Direct seems to like making a liar out of me. A while back, I previewed 3 different lines of figures (Blackest Night series 7 & 8, Mass Effect 2 series 1) […]
By Loran If there’s one character in G.I. Joe I can’t stand, it’s Duke. Yeah, I know, he’s the leader. But he isn’t the leader, Hawk is! I’ll never understand why the Sunbow cartoon chose […]
Henry & Glenn and Hall & Oates, the stars of one of our bestselling mini-comics Henry & Glenn Forever now star in their own neat little cartoon promo for the book directed by Tom Neely. […]
Two video interviews with our colleague Ruben (sans Josh Weisbrod, with whom he regularly appears on the store’s YouTube channel.) We’ve got some very enthusiastic staff.
I’ll cool it with the TRON posts soon. Promise. These gorgeous prints from Mondo went on sale today, but were sold out in mere minutes. FP still has some stock left on what’s sure to […]
By Loran Hasbro, it’s about time, and you’ve really outdone yourselves! Ever since the Classics line debuted back in 2006, I’m pretty sure Jazz was really high the list of characters fans wanted to see […]
Robots make for crap super heroes. We want robots as friends, pets and secret lovers, but NOT as replacements to our own lives. In a medium all about projecting our own wants onto fictional characters […]
By Mat K. There are quite a few sensual books coming out, from the final volume of Sundome, to the sexy vampires of Dance In The Vampire Bund, to a fair amount of yaoi, which […]
Guillermo Del Toro, the brilliant director behind Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy feature films is an enigma. He loves comic books, but has no interest in working with them whatsoever. Sure, he’s adapted the Hellboy […]
Each week we offer our customers a limited, one-day-only (new comic day, to be exact) deep discount offer on a new Graphic Novel or comic book. This week’s comic book bailout is the new issue […]
