Note to educators! We still have copies of All
Star Superman and Marvel Heroes Adventures left from Free Comic Book
Day. If you need books, let us know the age range of the kids you are
dealing with and we will set you up with something. Acme has always
been a friend of teachers and we will do whatever we can to get books
into the hands of the writers and artists of tomorrow!
We have a lot of Secret Invasion tie-ins coming your way tomorrow so make sure you've let us know what you want! Some of you have asked to get everything labeled Secret Invasion while some have been more cautious. This week we have Thor, the Inhumans, and the X-men minis kicking off and Spider-man is yet to come. If you're on the fence, keep your ear to the ground and when you make a decision make sure you let us so that we can get you those first printings!
Also want to remind everyone that the custom Marvel Legends figures on the top row of our display case are very much for sale. These unique creations have been made available to Acme Comics exclusively by one of our fine and talented subscribers! If you have a figure you want made for you, just ask us for his contact info and we'll pass your request along!
We've got a couple of cool plates spinning, but unfortunately nothing we can talk about just yet. But we're working on something for you. Several somethings...

Ok, that's the news. If you see something you like, make sure we know. We're not mind readers. Well, technically I am, but I really don't like to talk about it as it tends to make people uncomfortable. But the rest of the Acme staff are not mind readers, so make sure they know what we can do to better serve your needs!
