In case you haven't heard the news, BOOM! Studios has partnered up with Haven to keep their reprints and variant covers available to retailers.  As you all know, this has always been the segment of the market where Diamond falls short.  You have voiced your frustration with your inability to get your reorders filled and Boom has responded.

So what does that mean exactly?  Well Mickey Mouse and Friends #296 second print is in stock already and ready to fill orders.  We have ours well before Diamond even thinks of ordering theirs.  And when Uncle Scrooge, 28 Days Later, Kill Audio, and pretty much anything else by Boom sells through on initial orders -- and they WILL because they're BOOM! -- I'm your hookup.  Keep an eye on the Boom listings (Browse by Publisher) for updates.

We're tiptoeing into some new product lines finally.  You'll find a huge array of cult horror films, anime DVDs, and tarot cards and tarot kits in the cart.  The Famous Monster: Forrest Ackerman DVD is another must-have for Halloween.  Don't forget it's also time to stock your calendar racks.  Lots of Heavy Metal calendars are in stock by Luis Royo, Victoria Frances, and others.

I want to let you know about adjustments to our volume discounts.  The breakdown is as follows...

Retail Value ... Discount off Order

$101 - $250... 1%
$251 - $500... 2%
$500 - $750... 3%
$751 - $1500... 4%
$1501 - $3000... 5% plus half off shipping
$3001+ ... 6% plus 75% OFF SHIPPING

As a special incentive, all Comics Pro members with accounts in good standing will get their discount bumped up one level on the ladder, including the split on shipping costs.  To learn more about ComicsPro, visit their website at http://comicspro.org/.

Take care and Happy Halloween!

We have character.

Th3rd World Studios launched as a web comic, comic graphic novel studio in 2006. It was co-founded by Michael DeVito and Jon Conkling along with Scott Closter and Justin Robinson. After working for several other companies in various capacities the Th3rd World founders decided to go out on their own. Their goal was to develop properties that were absent in the then saturated zombie and vampire markets.

Enter Space Doubles, the first of several projects that began development as early as 2005 under the guidance of Scott Closter. The group was looking for their first project that would ideally get the ball rolling for the company. Several other projects had begun development, but were in their infancy. Space Doubles was a flip format anthology. Something that was and continues to be a bit of a bad word in the comics industry. The flip format was, however something that hadn't been done in some time and the idea of retro science fiction tales was particularly intriguing.

3 years and many creators later Space Doubles hit stands to debut in the top 300 of Diamond's sales charts. Issues 2 and 3 shipped shortly thereafter. Since then Th3rd World Studios has successfully published 3 comic series along with 3 web comic series that have met with positive fanfare. 2009 promises the release of several new series to add to their resume as well as some follows ups to material currently in print.

Th3rd World Studios continues to stress quality over quantity, limiting the total number of titles per year in favor of a very careful and nurturing development process.
YI SOON SHIN

To all comic book retailers and readers,

I would like to proudly introduce all of you to my new comic book, YI SOON SHIN. This is a 12-issue limited series based on the true story of Admiral Yi Soon Shin, a Korean naval commander who saved his people from Japanese invasion forces during the Imjin War (1592-1598).

Having never been defeated in battle, Yi Soon Shin won 23 consecutive victories over the Japanese despite being outnumbered 10 to 1. Each issue will focus on a different battle that helped change the course of the war in Korea’s favor and define Yi’s legacy. This is a story that sets out to define a real life hero in the realm of comics. Our book will soon be available in Haven Distributors catalogue and we hope that all of you will enjoy it.

ARCANA NEWS

Arcana Invites You To Witness The Coming of Black Jesus!

Arcana Comics is proud to announce that the Black Jesus trailer is now online at arcana.com.

Black Jesus (AUG09 0633), created by Jimmy Blondell and David Krintzman, asks the question what happens when someone is born different? Are they accepted? And if they are accepted, what are they accepted as? Chris is born with special gifts and every individual has their own beliefs. Is Chris a Mutant or a Messiah?

To coincide with the release of the book, Jimmy Blondell has created a trailer which he says, "... is a mash up of the Graphic Novel and the screenplay. I infused illustrations and iconography from the comic-book and then I added some rough cut footage from the screenplay. The music element I chose really added a dark edge that helped reflect the stories tone."

The trailer can be viewed online at Arcana's official website. http://www.arcana.com

INDY COMIC BOOK WEEK

A call to action for independent comics everywhere  

The last week of December 2009, Diamond Comics Distributors has decided not to ship any new products, leaving the week after Christmas devoid of new content for the comic book consumers. In light of this, a group of independent artists and writers have decided to unite together and fill that void... with independent comics!

On Wednesday, December 30, 2009, what would be a new comic day, and the day many gift certificates and presented money would be cashed in for some new reading material, Indy Comic Book Week will take place. These artists and writers have begun teaming up with retailers to present a plethora of independent titles to consumers in place of their regular mainstream fix. From their site:

"Indy Comic Book Week is not only an event, but also a call to action.

(Haven Distributors is offering to distribute titles involved in this effort)
 
Heske Horror Announces Winning Submissions for "2012: Final Prayer"

Heske Horror, the indie horror shingle that created Cold Blooded Chillers and the award-winning horror anthology Bone Chiller, has announced the winning submissions for it's latest project - an anthology titled

2012: Final Prayer

The Doomsday tome features 19 stories from published creators and emerging talent from around the world, making this one-of-a-kind collection a truly global event. Representative countries include the US, UK, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Scotland and South Africa.

"The world is abuzz with the 2012 phenomena," says R.M. Heske who contributed three graphic tales to the book. "This book provides diverse interpretations about what will happen on December 21st, 2012 at 11:11 GST - whether it be 'End Times,' ecstasy or a phobia inside our head."

12/21/12 marks the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar - which depending on whom you listen to could mark catastrophe or spiritual transformation.

2012: Final Prayer plays out multiple possibilities via 4-8 page graphic tales (and an 18-page story by written by Heske and drawn by Dirk Shearer that covers alternate dimensions, the 11:11 time prompt phenomena, and 2012). The book also includes an "aftermath" section with short narrative tales about what transpires the day after 12/21.

"Nobody can predict the future, but 2012 - and the ultimate end game for humanity - provides a fascinating premise for creators," says Heske. "Even if nothing happens, which is certainly the outcome I'm hoping for, we should nonetheless talk about it and get it out in the open - if only to be informed, engaged, and prepared."
 
Why I Love Hack/Slash!

Welcome to a very special edition of Why I Love Comics where we highlight the very best books in the industry, some that you have read, some that have you haven't and some that deserve some attention that they never seem to get. This week we celebrate one of the best books in horror written by a very good friend. The book I'm talking about is cult horror at it's best thanks to new master of horror Tim Seeley.

The back history for me started when I was on a very old review group on another board which has been reborn elsewhere on the internet. My first issue was Hack/Slash #7 where I was first introduced to Cassie Hack and her monstrous sidekick Vlad. For those of you who are long term followers of this column you know that I gave last years "Best Horror Award" to this series.

The thing about Hack/slash very simply is that the concept feels fresh and never really gets stale or old. Each new slasher that our heroes face has something unique going for them. For examples, we have Ashley who is a little like Freddy Krueger as he can attack his victims in the dream world. He's a vengeful little kid who was killed by his own mother because of his evil ways.

Hack/Slash actually started as a whole slew of one shots back in 2004 which are now collected in the very beautiful Hack/Slash Omnibus (cover featured below) which recent went into a second printing. The stories range from different slashers and even have guest appearances by 3 very awesome creators, Robert Kirkman/Steve Niles and Skottie Young. There is also a great crossover with Chuckie inside the omnibus that shows you just how much Tim loves horror.

Showing the value in comics-

“How do I get more people buying comics?” and “How do I get the people who are already buying comics buying more?” are the two questions that every comic retailer across the country are asking. With everyone cutting back how do I encourage people to not cut into their comic book spending? Simple, show them the value in buying comic books.

A) Affordable luxury- For under $10 you can usually get 2 books that you can read regardless of the hour without late fees, transportation to get to them or any add on costs like popcorn.

B) Managing Stress-A movie may help you recover from the week when you rent it on Saturday night. However this assumes you can make it to the end of the week without beating your boss to death with a spoon. Stick a comic book in your laptop bag and suddenly a lunch break can actually be a little recuperative

C) Sharing with your family- Indulge in 1 $4 comic that everyone in the family can enjoy. Pass it around and then ask what everyone thought about it? Comic books are something that everyone under the age of 18 can relate to at least some what. Start a conversation. Encourages reading as well.

D) Showing a sort of “resale” value ---comic book swaps- In recent years many women have started “clothing swaps”. Everyone brings articles of clothing they no longer want and then pass them around to find new homes. Encourage those who are cutting back to go through their collections and see if there is anything they’d like to part with and then you can hold an event at your store where everyone swaps!
