1. Avengers Vs X-Men: One month into this epic cross over event which pits Marvels most iconic teams, the X-Men and Avengers, against each other and all I can say is wow! This series is shaping up to be better than I expected. Issue three hits shelves May 2nd so be sure to stop by the store and get in on the fun.
 
2. Batman Night of The Owls: The first cross over story arc out from DC comics since the relaunch is finally here! This is a two month event with every member of the Bat family getting in on the action. The epic struggle between the Dark Knight and the Court of Owls starts in Batman #8 and carries over into' All-Star Western #9, Batman #9, Batman: The Dark Knight #9, Batman and Robin #9, Batwing #9, Batgirl #9, Red Hood and the Outlaws #9, Nightwing # 8 and 9, Catwoman #9, and Birds of Prey #9.

3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #10:  If you want a comic that is going to blow your mind with awesome, check out TMNT. Issue 9 was amazing, and saw one of comics greatest villains return to print. I won't spoil it for you but he's a ninja master, and his name starts with S. The best part? Issue 10 looks to be even better! We have all the back issues you need to get caught up on this the second story arc of IDW's new ongoing TMNT comic so there is no excuse to miss it! 

4. New T-Shirts:  Has anyone else noticed that its been getting warm fast? If you have I recommend checking out our new selection of awesome T-shirts. We just added a whole section of monster T's that rock, as well as a new kids T-Shirt section. If you haven't noticed the warming weather, I would suggest getting outside! Perhaps a nice walk to Albuquerque's number one comic shop is in order? 

5. Free Comic Book Day: Finally its here! May 5th, mark the calendar and come on down to Astro-Zombies for the greatest day of the year. We will be having a triple signing with Matt Frank, S. Steven Struble, and Aaron Campbell. On top of the in-store sales we will be having that day there will also be a giant, and I do mean giant sidewalk sale with thousands of .25 cent comics and tons of $5 toys. It doesn't matter if you're a long time comic reader or just casually checking it out, FCBD is a day you don't want to miss.

1. Earth 2: This New 52 series is part of the second wave of books that DC will be releasing at the beginning of May. It features Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and The Flash from a parallel universe to the one we know so well. From what I’ve learned so far their secret identities will be different from the usual suspects and will more so resemble the heroes that form the JSA. Keep your eye out for this book. The first wave was to test the waters and set the groundwork for these new books. Let’s see how well DC will ride this wave

2. Pop! Vinyl Figures from Funko: These little guys are way cool to collect and display. We have everything from Michael Jackson to Robin the Boy Wonder. I look forward to the release of the Muppets line of figures!! I wonder what they’ll think of next….
3. Mcfarlane Figures: Ever heard of Spawn? Of course your have. You probably also know that the creator of Spawn also makes awesome toys. You do? Good. Then stop by and check out our figures. I’m sure the awesome detail of Malbolgia or the Movie Maniac version of Chucky will peak your interest. If not…. We have plenty more.

4. Venon (ongoing series):  Need your symbiote fix now that Carnage USA is over?? Look no further than Carnage’s pappy Venom. Currently Flash Thomson (good ole Peter Parker’s former high-school bully) is bearing the burden of the black Spidey suit. Full of action only the questionable Venom can bring you; this book will soon feature Toxin (grandchild to the symbiote)!!
 
5. Coffee Mugs: Wonder Woman, Star Trek, Green Lantern…. Oh my!! Hmmm…. Re-reading that makes me sad…. Either way check out our new mugs!! I have to admit its pretty awesome having my favorite hot beverage chillin’ in a super hero cup. I’m sure your guest would be very appreciative to be consoled in a heat sensitive Betty Page mug.

1. Batman Knightfall TP: If you need a fix before The Dark Knight Rises comes out, everyone should pick this book up, It tells the story of how powerful Bane really is and shows Batman at his lowest. It is super enjoyable. 
 
2. Red Lanterns: Every Green Lantern fan should pick this up. What could be better than one of the best new Corps having their own series that truely shows what it really takes to have rage in your heart?
 
 
3. Lil Depressed Boy: For anyone who is tired of reading superheroes saving the day, this is the right book. It shows what it is like to be a teenger that finds love and tries his best to live life. It has good art and the storylines in it are super enjoyable. This is the perfect time to pick this up because we are having the artist here signing for Free Comic Book Day.
