DC Comics is relaunching their line in September, starting over with 52 new #1 issues. It's a bid to attract new readers and invigorate older ones. To publicize this event, many retailers across the country were open at midnight for the release of Justice League #1.
My local comic store - Up Up and Away in Cheviot - kicked things off at 11:08PM last night with a 52 minute sale. It was better attended than I thought it would be, but then, maybe most of these folks didn't have their alarms set for 6AM. Oh well, what's a little lost sleep where funnybooks are involved?

A pretty good crowd for midnight at a comic book store.
You can't sleep here...go home, Matt!
I have those same pajama pants. Well, not those exact same pants. That would be weird. But I have a pair just like them.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to comment that those look like the kind of pants Carlin would wear!
ReplyDeleteI thought if you and another friend of mine that reads/ collects comics when I heard about the relaunches today on NPR. I wondered what a diehards reaction would be. Thanks for the info, story.
