Acme First Look #37 for 7.23.08
Alright, pre-empting further news for a special edition of Stephen's So-Called Emo Life!
- Dark Knight - Matt and I are both running at about 63% this morning, half because we were out until 3 watching the movie and half because of the way it made us feel.
Heath Ledger's performance lived up to all of the hype. I was captivated, I was enthralled every time he was on screen.
Acme E-Mail Update #7: Why So Serious?
How else could we start this e-mail other than
by thanking everyone that helped out and came out to the Quarter Sale!
It's impossible to count the number of hours that Matt, Christina,
Carly, Jermaine, and Jay put into organizing all of those books! In the
end we sold nearly 13,000 individual comics! And good ones too as some
message board testimonials will attest to. We really and truly do not
plan on doing anything like that again so thanks to everyone who came
out and braved the heat to get some great comics!
Acme First Look #36 for 7.16.08
This morning I woke up and it felt like Sunday. ::sign:: Alas...Then I remembered that the QUARTER SALE is tomorrow! That means boxes and boxes of comics for less than 12 cents a piece if you pick up the Diamond box for $15!

Acme First Look #35 for 7.10.08
Even when the store's closed, the party continues from my couch! I hope that everyone is enjoying the 4th, and remember, because most of us are lavishing in this day off, the flip side is that new comics will arrive on Thursday next week! There is balance in everything, I suppose.

Acme E-Mail Update #5: Hellboy Day Wednesday/RIP Michael Turner
It's been an absolutely crazy week around the
store! The Quarter Sale is barreling down on us, we've been sharing our
Scott Pilgrim insights
with the world at large, Wizard World Chicago produced too much news
for our brains to comprehend, our backstock is almost completely up to
date, and we still can't find anyone to drive down to South Carolina
and pick up a trunk-load of fireworks for us!
