If you’re not already familiar with our Nick & Dents, you’re in for a treat. Basically, they’re great “reading copies” that have minor shelf wear, or a scuff on the cover or a minor dent on the spine.

We also offer toys and collectibles as Nick & Dents. The boxes aren’t up to snuff, but the actual figures inside are pristine. So if you’re the type of person who takes action figures and statues out of the package for display, you won’t be disappointed.

Hundreds of product reviewers can attest to the surprisingly good quality of our Nick & Dents. Why not try one out? They’re a great value for the money, and many customers find they can discover new series through our Nick & Dents.

We’ll be adding thousands of Nick & Dents to our site over the next few weeks, so if you’re up for a deal, you’ll want to check back often!

But it’s the gruesome discovery that Gunn makes that could change the entire game. Don’t miss the epic conclusion to this exciting story from team Lobdell/Messina.

Angel: Only Human #5 arrives tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what happens. Due to a communication error with our supplier, Angel: Only Human #5 wasn’t offered as a pre-order at TFAW.com (or any other comic book shop) until today.

Normally, when comics arrive in our warehouse, the every day low pricing kicks in and the pre-order savings disappear. Not the case with tomorrow’s release of Angel: Only Human #5.

Can you tell that I’m into zombies? Today’s featured title is George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead TPB.

Presenting a special adaptation of George A. Romero’s long-awaited zombie movie, set years in the future after the end of his Dead trilogy.

In Land of the Dead, the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland and the living try to lead “normal” lives behind the walls of a fortified city. But outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving. Inside, anarchy is on the rise. With the very survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from an army of the dead.

This special collection features seven new pages of story and art, comprising a deleted scene from the movie, as well as an art gallery of covers, sample art, and more.

Quantities are limited, but we’re offering George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead TPB for 40% off the cover price! Yeah, that’s right. Yours for just $11.99. Hurry, this one won’t last long.

Scouring through this month’s new offerings, I happened upon a title that sounded pretty cool and thought I’d share. Extinction sounds like just the thing for the person who loves post-apocalyptic yarns.

Dr. Chris Perry spent the good part of his adulthood dealing with the dead. A brilliant pathologist, his position as Chief Medical Examiner at Queen Elizabeth Hospital provided him with the perfect working environment. A deadly virus swept across the globe, wiping out 90% of life on Earth, but some who were infected didn’t die. Chris must find a cure for the disease before a madman, calling himself Hannibal, and his army sacks Chris’ haven on Prince Edward Island and harvests the uninfected population as cattle.

So if you’re interested, we’re offering a pretty sweet discount on this title: now through 10/9, nab Extinction for 30% off the cover price!

Okay, Jennifer’s Body didn’t do so well at the box office last month, but that doesn’t it’s not a fun flick. . .

I mean seriously, it’s a high school movie that’s rated “R”–of course it wasn’t going to take world by storm. I was pretty impressed with Diablo Cody’s (Juno) writing, and for as much flack as Megan Fox has gotten in the media, I think this was the perfect movie for her to star in. The acting all around was great, and the movie was just, well, fun. I think this one’s destined to be one of those cult classics that just didn’t live up to expectations during its theatrical release.

Nobody’s gonna buy a $20 hardcover for the funnybook adaptation of a movie they’ve never seen. But if you’ve already seen the movie and dug it like I did, you’ll probably want to pick up Jennifer’s Body HC.

If you haven’t seen the flick yet, I’d say check out the matinee this weekend. Now through 10/9, nab Jennifer’s Body HC for the pre-order price–just $19.99!
