Introducing the Comics Omnivore Program
The Comics Omnivore program is designed to be a bridge between publishers, retailers and readers. Simply put, there's too many new titles that need hand selling coming out regularly, and trying to push all of them is nearly impossible. We're hoping that a more dedicated and focused approach at a larger level can help grow actual readership on quality titles.
The benefit to you for trying something different is that for the first week, these books will be $1 OFF!
The next Comics Omnivore title Is this weeks Usagi Yojimbo #1

ComicHub is Here!
I have been working on getting my new computer system up and running for a while. The stars seem to have aligned and I am going forward with it.
While the actual ringing up transactions won't affect you at all, there are a bunch of things that will.
One of the main reasons that I wanted to go with it was because of the ability for you to interact with it from the palm of your hand.
There is also an app for your phone under ComicHub in the app store.
They just added some videos on there to show you how it works. But the idea behind it is that you can see what you have coming and add books to your pull right from your phone.
So, if you are interested, please visit the site and see what all is going on with my new system.
