DC Nation – Aardman by redruger

• @xunilpenguin I’ll have more next week. Monday a bunch of folks wiped out most of my Pathfinder section. I do have the basic box set though. in reply to xunilpenguin 2012-01-19

One of the boxes from this week’s new comics shipment was sent by UPS  to Missouri for a vacation or something. It won’t be arriving here until Thursday at the earliest. It was a big box, and in addition to a bunch of graphic novels, we will not have the following comics until the box shows up:

Alpha Flight #8

American Vampire #23

Angel & Faith #9

Astonishing X-Men #46

Avengers Solo #4

Batman: The Dark Knight #5

Daken: Dark Wolverine #20

Deadpool #49.1

Flash #28

GOdzilla #11

Incorruptible # 26

Infestation 2 #1

Knights of the Dinner Table #182

Kung-Fu Panda #4

Transformer: Robots in Disguise #1

Walking Dead #93

Secret Headquarters apologizes for the inconvenience. UPS says, suck it, fanpersons.

There seems to be a certain…relationship between these comic ads/ covers:

Thursday December 8th is the fifth anniversary of the opening of Secret Headquarters!

To celebrate, we’re having what I’m calling a 5-by-5 sale.

All day Thursday, everything in the store (except new comics) is 5% off. Each different* item you buy increases the sale by 5% for your entire purchase, up to a maximum of 25%**.

* Items that are exact duplicates (like bags and boards) don’t count unless you are buying them in a bulk package. Each bulk package counts as 1 item.
** 5 x 5, get it?
