Space Monkey Comics Log 08152020: Welcome!
Hey, will you look at that… we’ve got a blog!
We figured there’s no better way to get the word out about the shenanigans at Space Monkey HQ! Right here is where we’ll talk about what we’re up to, including showcasing new items we’ve added to our online store, and other items that we're selling that we thing deserve some special attention. Now and then, we may also hear from Owner and resident Monkey Whisperer Richard (me) as he muses on a character, comic book run or other comics-related happenings, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll recount some of Space Monkey Juan’s adventures, including that time he faced off against a shape-changing alien (he thought it was me but the ruse was discovered when my doppelganger asked for pineapple on his pizza… Juan gets me).
This week saw us add of one of our favorite mini-series ever to the online store, WE3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. It’s like one of those heartwarming Disney classics about cuddly animals on the run from cruel humans, but with cyborg assassins and hyper-violent, manga-influenced art. It's definitely not for the kiddies, but man, Quitely put out some beautiful work here.
We also managed to add almost the entire 12-issue run of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee’s Inhumans from 1998-1999. We actually had the entire run up there but one of those issues got snatched up by a savvy buyer before we could finish this post. This award winning series redefined the characters for the new millennium while staying true to what we loved about Marvel’s own creepy and kooky royal family.
If you’re still eager for more, you’ll also find original X-Man Bobby Drake’s first solo outing in the four-issue Iceman mini-series, as well as full runs of both Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis (DC’s big on their crises, huh?)
So click on through to check out those and other books! Or head directly to our store by clicking HERE. We try to add new items regularly, and will be posting updates here semi-regularly, as time permits.
