Some delicious eats from @HomefireGrill that we picked up. As part of our time off, we’re taking care of ourselves by picking up from local eateries. Homefire Grill has always treated us well, on our anniversary and during quarterly meetings, and so delicious. (Their bison spring rolls are particularly rad.)

Folks, due to COVID numbers in Edmonton, we're suspending access to our back issues, in addition to the measures already in place at our store.

There's a shift happening, and we're feeling it more than ever this week. And also, as always, we're talking about comics and graphic novels!

A reminder to folks that we’re closed until Wednesday, January 6th so that we can be nice and refreshed for the new year! So far, we’ve been spending our time watching all the Fast and the Furious movies, most of them for the first time. It’s been fun.

Some new gems for our used graphic novel shelf! #NewToVE #usedgraphicnovels

Got in some shiny new artist editions! Please inquire for pricing.

Got a lovely pile of @hazydellpress books in today! They make beautiful books for spooky children, and I can’t get enough of them! (D)

Nobody likes a fascist. Except for other fascists, probably. Also we're talking comics folks, let's do this thing!

Lots of interesting content coming up for DC. Danica is looking forward to Mariko Tamaki's/Dan Mora's "Dark Detective". As always, Brandon is very excited about the Mark Russell/Steve Pugh "Superman vs. Imperious Lex". See anything that get you excited to read in 2021?

Putting a few comic sets out today! @ us if you’d like to grab one.

Aahhh, so excited! The second volume of HOME TIME has finally arrived after a long COVID delay. The first volume (art in pictures) was one of our absolute favourite graphic novels, telling the story of a small handful of kids who get swept away to another land and have to build new lives before they can possibly... maybe... find their way home. The art style changes with each chapter of the series, and each one is just as beautiful as the last. A truly great reading experienc...e, one that we still remember fondly. Onto volume two!

Get your autumn on with @sammaggs and @gabinam0120 manga version of @rainbowrowell’s Fangirl! We have posters and bookmarks to give away as well! #YegManga #NewAtVE

WE LIVE imagines an apocalypse, and a mission. The world is over, but 5,000 children might survive it all, if they can make it to extraction points in time...

Leaders of lost and broken worlds come together to save the very last earth... one where ideas and emotions themselves are under threat! From @the.steve.orlando and @tintodavideart

This week, we're going to be talking about the ding-dang speculator streamers, and how they're grifting the comic book industry. And as always, we'll ALSO be talking about this week's new comics! Yayyy!

Some lovely new books and restocks from @raincoastbooks today! Let us know if anything strikes your fancy.

Just added today’s LAST CHANCE item: two volumes of the amazing Phil Noto drawn BLACK WIDOW series! Regular price, $39.98, now just $15 for the first person who claims them!

A lot of great new books and restocks arrived while we were in the midst of new comic book day... including a few future favourites of ours! Thesaurus Has A Secret is so wonderful and kind, and A Cat Story is this beautiful adventure that has cats walking through some classic paintings while on an adventure! So incredibly awesome. There’s a lot more rad things there, so give these pictures a scroll, and see what’s cool!

Aw yeah! The first volume of the FANGIRL adaptation is here! Story by @rainbowrowell, adapted by @sammaggs with art by @gabinam0120 !!! Very excited to have this in our hands. And soon... yours as well!

AMERICAN RONIN takes the hit man genre and adds elements of sci-fi and samurai stories. A revenge tale structured around perceived inadequacies, this book talks about our own fears and puts them in the hands of a man looking to take down the mega-corps that truly run the world. Fun stuff!
