Local news – Nov 15, 2008


• The November Artist Jam is today from noon to 6 p.m. at Krypton Comics in Omaha.

• Jason from Legend Comics made his Book of Doom debut last week, and he’s with us again this week (and hopefully every week). This week’s “Featured 500,000 Comic of the Week” at the Legend online store is Black Panther #1. At the physical store, Legend is still offering 25% off all back issues every Saturday and Sunday for the rest of 2008.

• “Penalty books are going strong,” according to this week’s Capes Comic Book Lounge newsletter. “Saying, wearing or doing anything that falls under the penalty phrase clause could get you your very own copy of Trinity #6.” The latest issue also includes columns on Spider-Man, Will Ferrel and superhero names with sexual undertones. You can subscribe to the newsletter at CapesComics.com.

Don’t forget “Ladies Night” each Thursday at Capes, which means women get 20% off everything in the store starting at 4 p.m. Capes also has 20% Tuesdays, in which all comics on the wall are on sale.

And again, Capes has begun featuring the Doomkopf.com Book of Doom in the shop. Capes customers and Doomkopf.com readers are encouraged to email us your review of the weekly pick to have it included in Saturday’s roundtable.

• Local artist Kathleen Clark will debut her new comic at Krypton on Saturday, November 22nd from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
