Comics Unlimited News and Info

Hi gang! Ironically, the "skip" week (last week) -- When the comics publishers didn't release any new product -- actually was my best week of the past year! It was a great close to 2009, and a promising beginning to 2010. I want to thank all of you who have patronized Comics Unlimited of Evansville, Indiana since the shop first opened on 1996! I truly appreciate your continued business! One thing that surely helped boost sales for last week, and indeed for the past month and more is the BIG BIG SALE that continues at CU! That's the sale where EVERYTHING but new comics, special orders, and supplies are HALF-OFF the regular price! This great sale will end on January 15, 2010, so you still have time to stock up on comics, toys, posters, and more, but hurry before it ends so as to not be left out! Thank you and here's to a happy and prosperous 2010! Yayy!!! -- Matt Matthew Hawes COMICS UNLIMITED 654-B E. Diamond Avenue Evansville, Indiana 47711

Hi gang! A discussion came up over at www.byrnerobotics.com, the message board and website for comic book legend John Byrne, about knock-off characters at Marvel Comics. For instance, there is now a character named Rulk, which is a red Hulk, and Wolverine has a female clone named X-23, and a son with claws named Daken. With that in mind, some people posting to the board there decided to imagine what would happen if Wolverine was mixed with the Hulk. They named him WULK. I created a picture of what I thought he would look like, which can be seen at the following web address: BYRNE ROBOTICS - THE WULK Yayy!!! Matthew Hawes www.ComicsUnlimited.biz www.TheHappyShow.net

Hi gang! I put up 29 new auctions on eBay tonight, all ending on The Fourth of July! And what better way to celebrate the holiday than with Captain America comics? I put up a number of the early Ed Brubaker written issues, and also the very HOT John Cassaday variant cover to "Captain America: Reborn"! Also, there are comics on auction of "The Boys," "Kick-Ass," The first appearances of Marvel Zombies in "Ultimate Fantastic Four," the first appearance of Wolverine's son Daken from "Wolverine Origins," and the very hard-to-find copy of 1999's "Hulk" #8 with Wolverine! There's more, too! So take a look and bid if you see something you want to own! http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/comicsunlimited_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZ Please remember if you win a bid that all bidders in the area surrounding Evansville can save on shipping costs by picking up the comics at the shop!
