New Release Highlights - 8th July 2020

We're re-opening for pre-booked collections in store from Wednesday 8th July!

We have new rules in place for collections, to protect both customers and staff as much as possible during the ongoing pandemic. Please read this article if you are unaware or unfamiliar with these procedures.

Don't forget to book your collection slot!

Please remember - as a family business with only one active team member, we would be decimated if a member of our household contracted COVID-19 and it would shut us back down instantly.

​These rules and measures are designed to provide continuity of service for all of our customers, by hopefully keeping everyone as safe as possible.

Here are a few of the biggest titles out this week.

COMIC BOOKS

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER WILLOW #1

After everything - and everyone - she lost to the Hellmouth, Willow is leaving Sunnydale behind for a new school that promises "to help you prioritize your true self."  

But Willow soon learns that all is not as it seems, and if your true self isn't what the school thinks it should be... well, don't worry, they'll help you get there. By any means necessary.  

Now, truly alone for the first time in her life, Willow must rely only on her instincts - and her magic - to save herself from a different kind of threat than Buffy ever prepared her to face!

Award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and superstar artist Natacha Bustos (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) bring Willow face to face with the truth of her past... and plant the seeds for a future no one could've predicted.
