Our goal at Graham Crackers Comics is always to get as many comic in as many readers/collectors hands as possible.  A few years ago we had to start implementing a limit of 1 on new releases to make sure regulars got a chance to get their favorite books.   But recently $3.99 comics have been selling for $25 before they're even released causing runs on certain books.  As always we encourage everyone that wants to collect a title to sign up for our FREE pull & hold service so they never miss a book, but if you're unable to and want to simply pick up your regular books off the racks each week, we understand that as well and our doing our best to try and accomodate you.
   We've been in business long enough (37 years) to have been down this road before.  Now we have the help of technology to make sure books like this weeks Captain Marvel #8 gets into the hands of as many regular readers of that book as possible.
  If you shop at one of our stores, you'll notice that we're always asking at the checkout for your name.  We can easily lookup a customer this way, see they've been buying Captain Marvel for the past few issues and make sure we put one of our few copies aside for them.
  This means that in some rare cases a title like Captain Marvel #8 or the final issue of Walking Dead may never even make it to the rack as we try and take care of all the regular collector/readers of that book.

Reading comics is great, Collecting comics is a ton of fun, and speculating in comics can be fun as well - but we're in the business to take care of the readers & collectors first and foremost.  The last thing we want to see is a regular reader of a title turned off by it, simply because they can't find a copy of the newest issue.

Thank you to all of our customers that have enjoyed reading & collecting titles over the past 37 years - we are adapting to current trends and are doing our best to make sure you all get taken care of first.


ALL NEW X-MEN #8

Reviewed by Shawn Spurlock

This was a standout issue in what could be called a mediocre series. The cover says it all. Basically, a whole issue of Hank McCoy and Strange debating the merits and drawbacks of magic and science. I particularly loved the caption box that told readers to see Dr. Strange #6 (because of the Last Days of Magic story). That's how Dad did it, that's how America should do it, and it's worked out pretty well so far. In the 1970's at least. Highly recommended for fans of Dr. Strange and third eyes.

Hey, I'm as surprised as you, okay? This issue offers some saucy fun, feeling like a bizarro-adult version of Squirrel Girl. Highly recommended for fans of Moonlighting-esque witty banter and Eyes Wide Shut. .

MOON KNIGHT #1
(W) Jeff Lemire
(A) Greg Smallwood
Reviewed by Shawn Spurlock

Although not very big on the action, this first issue holds a whole lot of promise for longtime fans of the character. If you're new to the title however, you may end up as confused as Moon Knight himself. This is not done-in-one material. This current Moon Knight run, the latest of many, seems totally fresh while simultaneously providing as much fan service as any Galactica reboot not featuring 1980 in the title. Highly recommended for fans of multiple personality disorders, violent street level justice, Egyptian mythology, and multiple personality disorders.

HOUSE OF PENANCE #1
(W) Peter J. Tomasi
(A) Ian Bertram
Reviewed by Kevin Healy

This is a disquieting horror-ish book about the house built by the heir to the Winchester arms empire. Since this house is a real thing, a mix between an Escher print and a haunted house, there's extra discomfort built in naturally. Sarah Winchester lost her husband and daughter. She's bringing their bodies home, but may also be talking to them via her special home where the hammers never stop and guns are not allowed. She also might just be crazy.

STAR WARS: C -3PO SPECIAL
(W) James Robinson
(A) Tony Harris
Reviewed by Kevin  Healy

This book should have been terrible. I'm as prone as anyone to give a little leeway where Star Wars is concerned, but it's late late late late late. Tooooooo late if you take my meaning. It has to just be a cash grab, because who gives a hoot's hoot about a red arm? Would we get a 48 page special about C-3PO falling off the ridge and losing his arm in 'Star Wars' if it were made today? No. Plus, its late...sooooo late that it missed the home release for Force Awakens.

It's great. How did this happen? James Robinson has written a book that manages to address the issues of artificial intelligence, military loyalty, purpose on the battlefield, and friendship using five droids, two of which can't even really speak. The art by Tony Harris is an odd mix of heavy blacks, art nouveau layouts, and wood block coloring spattered with psychodelia. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. Was it worth telling a story about how an annoying robot *(that we admittedly love)lost ANOTHER arm? Was it worth waiting an extra 4 months to read that story?

Yeah. It's going to make some of you cry. Maybe not everyone, but don't be surprised if it sneaks up on you.

WONDER WOMAN 77 SPECIAL #3

Reviewed by John 'Doc' Schaefer

 When is DC going to finally crack and give the 1977 version of Wonder Woman her own book? I mean this is Special #3! We have art and writing teams all set up. We've got good build on plot points to continue the television storyline history. And if I can continue to get stories like one where Clayface and Wonder Woman fight over the magic mud of Paradise Island, I'll be right up front. And I'm pretty sure that I can take the eight bucks for the book and use it towards a monthly title!

    Christopher Eccleston meet Christopher Eccleston! And in an all new on-going! And Holy William Hartnell, the Chumblies are back! Or are they. No spoilers but the surprise guest villain is a bit of a let down but not enough to ruin the satire being poked at us DW fans! (Jack is the president of the DWAS! Classic)
   
  Definitely, a good first issue of a new ongoing!
