NEW SALE...NEW SALE...NEW SALE!!!!! :o)
Starting black friday (day after Thanksgiving) through New Years Eve (Jan 31st) I'll be having a new sale similar to my anniversary sale last June.
I'll be putting out between 14 and 20 THOUSAND comics, all for ONE DOLLAR each. There'll be newer and older stuff. Alot of what you might call the "old" DC. Some newer Marvel and other publishers also.
As in my previous sale, for every $100 dollars spent, you'll get, for FREE, your choice of a comic short box, or a package of silver age, or current, bags.
ALSO...(almost) ALL comic back issues will be 20% off (some exceptions will apply) and CGC comics will be 10% off
ALL trades and graphic novels will also be on sale from 20 to 60% off
I'm currently too stupid to figure out how to add a Facebook like button to this page.:( Since, I'm too computer illiterate to figure it out, just go to my Facebook page and "like" me. THANKS :o)
Hi, my name is David, and I own AK Comics. The "AK" stands for my kids first names, and yes, it does annoy them when friends at school ask them about their "dad's store". :) I started my store because I'm a huge comics and toy geek. They say you should try to sell what you know, and I know comics. No, I'm not the type of person who has encyclopedic knowledge in my head on the history of comics. But I do know a couple things.
Come in, have a chat, discuss what you're reading. I read ALOT of books, so I might know what you're talking about. Of course, if I don't know, I blame old age and cannot be held responsible. :)
I also see a ton of movies. Not only comic book related ones, so maybe we can chat about that. Don't worry, I'm not shy about my opinion. ;)
Speaking of movies, The Hangover was the best comedy I've seen in years. :o)
This year we had some great Super-Hero movies come out. Cowboys and Aliens, based on a comic book, also came out, and it was surprisingly good. :o)
First out was Thor. Chris Hemsworth was ripped to hell!! Movie was great. Costumes, story, everything worked (except for how Jane was involved, but things are always changed when made into a movie)
Next was X-Men First Class. Actually my favorite X-Men so far. I liked how they finally had some color to the costumes and not just black leather. My only problem with the movie was Xavier not being bald, AND WHERE THE HECK WAS STAN!?!?! CAM-E-O...CAM-E-O :o(
Next up...
Last, but not least, Captain America. HOLY CRAP!! this movie was even better than I'd hoped. Easily my favorite hero movie of the summer and one of my favorites of all time.
Oh, and if anyone can explain to me how Marvel can make so many movies and D.C., which is owned by a MOVIE COMPANY (Warners Brothers) can barely get ONE movie out a year, please let me know.
(and I'm talking live action, not animated, they're usually 2 different divisions in a company)
After a couple years in the position, DCs head of Entertainment hasn't realyl accomplished any more than before the job was created.
D.C.s movie press release...Oh, yeah, we're going to have this project or that project looked at and "maybe" start it up again. This same creator who hasn't been able to get it going yet is going to try again.
Marvels movie press release...We have several movies coming this year and several more being worked on for next year that WILL be made
Next year looks like it's going to be another GREAT summer for Super-Hero movies!!
Avengers looks AWESOME in the previews so far
PULLING OUT THE SOAPBOX...BUY LOCAL!!!
Yeah, it's nice that you might be able to save a couple bucks by buying through an online store, good for you. But you know when you come in looking for a comic book that you didn't order through them, or a certain Magic card or a couple of boosters, you see how convenient it is to have a local store? Well, this local store won't be here for much longer if you people don't stop supporting the economy in other neighborhoods instead of this neighborhood.
Putting soapbox away
At AK Comics, I carry a wide selection of new & old comics, from DC, Marvel, Image, IDW, Top Cow, Aspen & many others. I have a minimum of 15 boxes of quarter comics at any time, and lots of back issues from the last few years. I buy comic collections from the 1970's & earlier, but any collection will be looked at.
All new comics & books are 10% off. I have a subscription service available. All subscribers get 15% off their books. There is no service fee for ordering out of stock items that are still available.
Everybody always gets a free comic book.
Role Playing
I have a limited number of D&D and other gaming books on hand. Most books that are not in-store can be ordered and usually received within a week (sometimes within 2 days), if they are in stock at my distributor. These are also 10% off.
Collectibles
I have a large selection of carded Super-hero Action figures, Star Wars figures & vehicles from the early 90's to Now. I carry Hotwheels, Treasure Hunts, and a small selection of beanie babies.
Magic: The Gathering
I have held weekly Magic tournaments in the past. Unfortunately, over the last couple years weekly tournament attendance has evaporated. I'm open to holding sanctioned and non-sanctioned tournaments. If interested, just contact me and we can arrange something.
Pre-order a new box of Magic card releases at great savings. Normal pricing for Magic packs is $3.50 EA. $11 for intro packs. Many single Magic cards are available for sale.
