ANDY’S PICK :: LONE RANGER GOLDEN BOOK CLASSIC: Wanna get the kids fired up to go see the new Lone Ranger movie with ya? Wanna see what we used to read before our parents let us read comic books? Wanna see a classic in a beautiful and affordable original-sized edition? If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, then Lone Ranger Golden Book Classic is for you. In this delightful romp from 1956(!) our stylishly dressed vigilante and his Native American partner (you see what I did there?) fight bandits, bring justice to the untamed west and still find time to help a young boy find his missing brother. This is a book you won’t mind to reading and re-reading and re-reading to your young cow-hands aged 2-6. Hi-Yo!!

RICO’S PICK :: THE DREAM MERCHANT #1: I don’t know the premise of this new series by Nathan Edmondson and Konstantin Novosadov but the art stopped me cold. The drawing, composition, and color are inspired. This issue is double sized so it’s like getting the 1st 2 issues of a series for $3.50. Let’s check it out and let’s see where it goes!



EP: Being a fan of Rap music already, this project gives me the chance to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. I’m not necessarily discovering new people to cover, but, I’m discovering what makes certain, more obscure people, important in the greater scheme of things.









With our first two host hotels mostly booked, Courtyard Charlotte City Center has offered us a block of rooms at a lower rate than previously available!
JUSTIN’S PICK :: REGULAR SHOW #1: When the Adventure Time comic materialized, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Where’s my Regular Show comic?” Little did I know, my future self answered, “Right here, you crybaby!” Much like its aforementioned Cartoon Network cohort, Regular Show boasts a wildly colorful cast of characters sure to attract the best talent comics has to offer. Worth the price of admission just for the inevitable Rigby/Mordecai trash talk. OOOOOOOOOH!
