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! Next Monday, May 25th, is Memorial Day and because of that fact the new comics shipment will be bumped from Wednesday to Thursday that week. The shop is normally closed on Mondays, so there won't be any changes as far as the shop's hours that week. On a related note, I finished restocking the dollar boxes at the shops. There are many new and different titles to go after, so stock up for your Summer reading! Yayy!!! -- Matt Matthew Hawes COMICS UNLIMITED 654-B E.
