What’s up with the Comic Book Lounge + Gallery? Late July edition

I… HUNGER!
This past Saturday we held an art show and signing with artist supreme Leonard Kirk to celebrate the release of the first issue of the Age of Ultron spin-off mini-series THE HUNGER. Poor Ultimate Rick Jones just wants to grab a bite to eat at the Burger Shack but he keeps being called away by the Ultimate Watcher and he experiences the same time shift that other major characters experienced at the end of AoU – then a tear in the universe opens and Galactus 616 crosses over and merges with Gah Lak Tus, the predatory artificial intelligence of the Ultimate universe.

Leonard did a great job on the art and we had a great time. The artwork is on display at the Lounge this week, but will be heading off to Leonard’s art dealer next weekend. For now it is available for sale at the Lounge. He’s even got some preview pages from issue #2 up – well worth checking out! RENOVATING AGAIN?

Yes, we’re making some more changes… well, UPGRADES, to the retail store.

Over the long weekend we are installing new slatwall pieces in the front section so we can better showcase our other products — from those awesome sketchbooks, card cases and buttons that Guerilla Printing makes, to our expanding selection of t-shirts, statues, toys and other collectibles.

We’ve got lots of fun things coming in this August in advance of Fan Expo (August 22-26), like a selection of POP figures, more board games and things like that, so we want a place to properly display these cool items.

It will also allows us to better support and display the work of Artist in Residence Christopher Yao and our relationship as a friend and partner of the Sean Ward Show.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The TRUE PATRIOT ANTHOLOGY TORONTO BOOK LAUNCH is scheduled for Saturday, August 10th at the Lounge. Starting at 7pm — anthology contributors Adrian Alphona, Ramon Perez, J. Bone, J. Torres, Howard Wong, Jack Briglio and more will be at the store signing copies and we’ll be displaying original artwork and prints featuring these amazing new Canadian superheroes in the gallery!
