No major delay announcements this week, with the worst offender being DC/CMX’s The King of Cards Volume 5, having slipped from mid-August to early September. Somewhat of a trade off, as Teru Teru X Shonen Volume 3 has been moved up from September 10th to September 3rd.
Look for Mask Omnibus Volume 1, Essential Man-Thing Volume 2, Showcase Presents The House of Secrets Volume 1, Avatar the Airbender Volume 8, Pokemon and the Temple of the Sea, and lots more in your favorite comic shop this week!

Things From Another World is running a fantastic sale this week - 80% off select merchandise, including a selection of over 350 graphic novels. (Many books are in “nick & dent” condition, but for over three quarters off, hell, I’ll deal with it.)
Toss in free shipping for orders over $30 (use coupon code “UNLEASHED”), and it’s fair to say TFAW is showing the love.
Thanks for supporting GNA’s sponsors!
Some would say it had to happen eventually. The GNA’s blog has moved to the WordPress platform.
It wasn’t an easy choice. And it wasn’t entirely an easy transfer. But it’s finished, and with WP’s handy browser integrated plugins and a more stable backend dbase, should make for easier blogging ahead.
Expect a nice theme or some major integration to be applied in the future - this default skin is ugh.
Between life in general and the Dark Knight movie (wow), I spent some quality time adding Ebay “Buy It Now” and Half.com listings to the comparison shopper routine. Yet another means of tracking down those hard to find, out of print books.
Also uploaded the latest Community Editor tool - the Edition Title editor. Log in to your MyGNA account, click “Edit Edition Title” in your MyGNA sidebar, and voila, Internet magic will allow you to update an edition’s title and save it to the GNA’s graphic novel database. This garners points and points can garner prizes. If you haven’t already checked into it, give this a read.
More to come.
