Socials aren't the place for nuanced discussion, but we would like to address a recent comic book release.
DC has decided to cancel their current RED HOOD series after the release of its first issue. A request has been made that no more copies be sold.

Folks, we've been proud to be running out in city delivery program for a little over nine years now. Starting as a program for folks with low mobility (free once a month), it expanded quickly to help those low on time ($2 once a month, $4 for extra weeks). Ask about delivery options today!

Looks like THE KNIVES are coming out!
About once or twice a year, ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS work their magic on another amazing graphic novel. This time around, it is a return to the world of CRIMINAL, where unfortunate souls swirl around each other, just trying to survive.

Out tomorrow: maybe the best Avengers book happening right now gets a print edition. Avengers Academy.
A digital first series with outstanding LGQBTIA2S+ representation. It starts with the kids fighting a Nazi who is now made of bees. And that’s rad.
