Hello, all--

I haven't been talking about it too much yet, but did you realize FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is a mere THREE WEEKS AWAY?!? That's right, on Saturday, May 5th it's the comic business' biggest party and one of Velocity's biggest SALES of the year! There's a fantastic crop of freebies this year, with Marvel leading the pack: free previews for Jason Aaron's AVENGERS, Nick Spencer's & Ryan Ottley's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. and Ta-Nehisi Coates' CAPTAIN AMERICA! I've already had the chance to read them, and they're all top notch. Add in our 25% off store-wide sale (and deeper discounts all around) and you've got a real hum-dinger of a Saturday! Hope you can make it!

This week the monumental ACTION COMICS #1000 comes in! And due to the demand, we've got to close the door on requests. We ordered an unprecedented amount of this book, but the demand is rising fast to meet it. We want to make sure everyone gets a copy, so if you haven't previously arranged getting a copy you'll have to get here Wednesday to grab the one you want. We'll try to reorder any that sell out, but I cannot guarantee availability.

LAST CALL! Here are the debuting titles for which our orders lock Monday. They ship in a couple of weeks, but telling us NOW if you want any helps us set orders correctly. And helping feels good! 
WORLD OF TANKS: CITADEL (Dark Horse) Garth Ennis returns for more WW2 video game-inspired shenanigans!
JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE (DC) You'll probably want this. Scott Snyder & Francis Manapul team up for a weekly JL event that'll invigorate the franchise! 
BARRIER (Image) Brian K Vaughan and Marcos Martin have collaborated on some of the best comics of the last 20 years. This one's their new sci-fi miniseries exploring the idea of illegal aliens... and they've said it will NEVER BE COLLECTED into a trade paperback! So if you want a printed form of this, this is it. 
MEDIEVAL SPAWN & WITCHBLADE (Image) First Will & Grace, then Roseanne, now this! The 90s are back, baby! 
HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: THE ADAMANTIUM AGENDA (Marvel)  This one's written by Tom Taylor so odds are it'll be good. The Bendis era New Avengers reconvene to honor a pact made regarding Wolvie. Sounds good! 
VENOM (Marvel) I don't remember the last time a creator had such a meteoric rise to superstardom... but now everything Donny Cates writes is instant gold! This is a can't-miss title, Cates has said the Venom is his all-time favorite Marvel character. 
JIM HENSON'S FRAGGLE ROCK (Boom!) These Jim Henson books have been seeing a real resurgence lately... and this one's by local hero Jared Cullum! He paints real good. 
SAVAGE TALES: VAMPIRELLA One Shot (D.E.) Easily digestible one-and done pulpy goodness!
