DATE CHANGE!
Ben Hatke signing NEXT Saturday, November 10!

Well, we finally have all of our new comics this week for sale! But the storm got us again, as our shipment of Ben Hatke's Zita the Spacegirl and Legends of Zita the Spacegirl are coming in late, so we have been forced to postpone Ben Hatke's appearances until NEXT Saturday, November 10. Same times, same places, just one week later!

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our star-studded and jam-packed District Comics signing last Saturday! It was great to see so many local comics talent in one space, and we had a nice casual system as people wandered the store, talking to artists and writers and getting their books signed while everyone chit chatted. We'll have pics up soon! We also have signed copies at our stores if you couldn't make it in.

We had a great Halloween, even with all the wet weather, and had lots of reports of kids enjoying all the Halloween comic books we had to give away! If you get trick or treaters, definitely pick some up next year from us, and if you ran out early, take more next time!

Feel free to forward on our newsletter, and please send us any comments or mailing list requests to vienna@bigplanetcomics.com

Thanks!

UPCOMING - November 10 NEW DATE - Ben Hatke signing

PLEASE NOTE: This signing has been changed to a new date of Saturday, November 10! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Ben Hatke, creator of the all-ages bestseller science fiction adventure Zita the Spacegirl, will be appearing at both our Vienna and College Park stores on Saturday, November 3, for his new sequel Legends of Zita the Spacegirl!

Zita is determined to find her way home to earth, following the events of the first book. But things are never simple, and certainly never easy, in space. Zita's exploits from her first adventure have made her an intergalactic megastar! But she's about to find out that fame doesn't come without a price. And who can you trust when your true self is being eclipsed by your public persona, and you've got a robot doppelganger wreaking havoc . . . while wearing your face? Still, if anyone can find their way through this intractible mess of mistaken identity and alien invaders, it's the indomitable Zita, in Legends of Zita the Spacegirl.

Ghosts

by Pope, Lapham, Kubert, Hernandez, Buckingham, Reeder, Johns, Lemire and more!

Another amazing one-shot anthology! This one is (mostly) about creepy things and ghosts, including Ghost For Hire, space combat, the divergence of lives, and more! Plus some ridiculously good talent do fun short stories. Pick it up!

Bedlam #1

by Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo

An insane Joker-like villain murders an entire school and sets up an even more heinous plot to push the limits of society. But does he eventually die, or is it all part of a bigger plot? And who else is involved? Intriguing and super violent and dark take on supervillains, showing a lot from their point of view!

Superman Earth One 2 HC

 
by J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis
 

The sequel to the smash hit Superman Earth One is finally here! Some new changes from the classic storylines, including a new love interest, and of course, a foe in the form of the Parasite!

Masters of the Universe: The Origin of Skeletor #1

by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Fraser Irving

An amazingly great story of the origin of He-Man's nemesis, Skeletor! Drawn by Irving in a Corben/Heavy Metal-esque retro fantasy horror style, it opens with a man's face slowly melting off as it flashes back to his childhood as the bastard prince who would never gain the throne! We know you won't believe us, but this was great!

Lot 13 #1

by Steve Niles and Glenn Fabry

A family tries to move to their new house in FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA... but is it the burial site of a murdered family from the 17th century??? Horror movie type set up, with great art by Fabry, and some truly gruesome, shocking, and sometimes funny stuff!

Came the Dawn HC &
Corpse on the Imjin HC

by Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood
 
The first two of the new EC Comics reprints are here! Grouped by artist or writer, these two cover some of the thriller work of the great Wally Wood and the war comics of the amazing Harvey Kurtzman!
