Gordon Harris signing on Saturday! Gordon Harris will be at our Vienna store on Saturday, signing his new graphic novel Pedestrian. All the information about the signing is below! We hope to see you there! We went a little crazy this week, and did two podcasts! Our regular one features all the new releases and a special interview with Raina Telgemeier when she was here for her signings at our stores last weekend! For those of you who missed it, she signed a bunch of extra copies for us of all her books, and she had a pretty interesting interview with us! Check it out in our podcast to the right (her interview starts at about 21:15). Our report on her signings and a bunch of pictures are up on our webpage too! http://www.bigplanetcomics.com/raina-telgemeier-signing-september-22 We ALSO did a second podcast, all about the Small Press Expo from 2 weekends ago, featuring reviews of some of our favorite comics we found there, and a special interview with long time SPX attendee, Ignatz Award judge, award-winning graphic novelist and podcaster Mike Dawson! So lucky you, kids! Feel free to forward on our newsletter, and please send us any comments or mailing list requests to vienna@bigplanetcomics.com Thanks! - the Big Planet Comics kids ___________________ UPCOMING - September 29 - Gordon Harris signing Pedestrian Gordon Harris, another local comics creator, will be appearing at our Vienna store on Saturday, September 29, for his brand new graphic novel Pedestrian!

This zero issue gives the backstory of the only Talon to rebel against his masters, The Court of Owls! How are the Talons recruited and trained, and how did one escape? | Happy #1 by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson Grant Morrison is back with another weird one! A straight forward tale of an ex-cop turned contract killer, until he gets shot during an assassination and starts hallucinating a little blue unicorn named Happy is talking to him! Or is he not hallucinating at all? | The Tower Chronicles 1: GeistHawk SC by Matt Wagner and Simon Bisley Another weird one! Tower is a specialist in handling supernatural problems, like when he is called in to deal with a living ghost and a serial killer vampire! Pulpy in the best '70s comics tradition, with crazy art by Bisley! | Showcase: Amethyst Princess of Gemworld 1 SC by Dan Mishkin and Ernie Colon Where it all started! The first twelve issues of Amethyst from the 1980s are collected, along with eleven issues of the next series, and appearances in annuals and specials! Amethyst is drawn into the mysterious and dangerous Gemworld where she is destined to be a princess! | | National Comics: Rose and Thorn #1 by Tom Taylor and Neil Googe Another great one-shot comic that we wish would be an ongoing series! Innocent Rose wakes up and can't remember what she did the night before, but everyone at school is talking about what she did, and how she is calling herself Thorn now! Since she's just out of a mental institution, is she cracking up again? And who is leaving her messages on facebook? | Barbara SC by Osamu Tezuka Another classic Tezuka story in English for the first time, this is definitely from the weird side of his work! A slightly insane novelist befriends an alcoholic named Barbara who may just turn out to be his muse! Insane jumps in direction and storylines from standalone chapter to chapter, but wildly compelling. | Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise 3 SC by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru At last! The final part of the new Avatar trilogy is here! Aang and Fire Lord Zuko must make a choice, will they work together or will things go in a dark direction? | The Walking Dead 8 HC by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard If you've been waiting for the next hardcover like me, here it is!
