Velocity Comics Newsletter 5/9/10

Hey!

Have you hugged a mom today? She doesn't have to be YOUR mom, per se, and I guess it should be consensual. But if you haven't you totally should.

DRAW! Entries are going up tomorrow. For serious.

IRON MAN 2 was pretty good.

WHITE LANTERN RINGS! We'll have a very limited quantity in stock Monday, doled out on a first-requested basis. Sorry for the hassle, this one was out of our control.

MAY SIGN UP SHEET! It's available for perusal on http://www.velocitycomics.com/ as well as in the shop. There's some good stuff to consider, including SCOTT PILGRIM'S FINEST HOUR, Marvel's SHADOWLAND mini, BRIGHTEST DAY: THE ATOM, and DOCTOR SOLAR now from Dark Horse. Take a look, you'll have until the end of the month to add these titles to your list to ensure you'll get 'em!

When you're old and withered, people will still be talking about this week's SHIPPING LIST. "Jessup, you remember that time all the publishers decided to ship the bulk of their product in one single week?" "Reckon I do, Ezekial… reckon I do." Yep, take a gander down below and behold a volume of new comic books virtually unprecedented. Hey, at least your mortgage was already covered last week, am I right?
