Howdy my fellow Hivers,
Ready to take a peek at all of the exciting nerdy nonsense making its way to comic shop racks this week??? I’m talking about kick ass Comics and Toys!!! I’m your host @blewitt, and I thank you for joining me on this virtual window shopping experience!!!
Each and every week on our Conquest Comics Instagram page, we post pics of the new comic books, toys, and miscellaneous merchandise that just arrived. Brand spankin new product for you to salivate over!!! Figured there are enough folks here who collect that it would be a useful service that would help with keeping up to date with new product. Feel free to check out our other pics on our Instagram account. Please give the shop a follow on Instagram as well if ya like what ya see!!!

Ok, time to jump in. This week has some gems worth looking at. Let’s start with DC Comics. A super cool oversized Treasury Edition of the most famous race ever between Flash & Supes hits along side Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Absolute Wonder Woman, Superman, and a more. Decent week for DC.
Marvel pumps out a new issue of Amazing Spider-Man alongside a reprint of the very first appearance of The Punisher. That’s groovy, right? Rocket Raccoon & Doctor Doom have a fun crossover, while Iron Man, Ultimate Spidey, and Uncanny X-Men pump out new issues.
For Indy books, you got new issues for Godzilla, Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT/Naruto, and a bunch of Spawn titles such as Gunslinger & King…amongst a bunch of other smaller titles.
Check out the books in these fancy slideshows:

Alrighty then…
Now that the comics are behind us, we can turn our attention to all of the fun collectibles hitting the shop this week as well. Very heavy on the Funko Pops as there’s just a gazillion of em. GI Joe Classified, Star Wars Black Series, Reaction, Transformers…basically lots of action figures to drain your wallet. Maybe pick up one of the fancy decks of cards if you are the gambling type?!? Scope out everything below…
That wraps us up for this week my friends. As always, thanks for taking a few moments of your time here to nerd out with me. See ya next time.

I wonder what Joe Strummer would think of being a doll. We did watch some Abbott Elementary recently, so at least I've heard of that, unlike some of the other ranges. The Funko people must really research what the market could be for each figure.
He would probably love that sweet doll cash that his family is probably currently enjoying. Lol
Yeah, it’s funny seeing some of the properties that get immortalized in Pop form. But still NO NINTENDO!!!
But that’s probably more to do with Nintendo being stingy with their IP.
I bet they are doing deals all the time. I won't charge too much for them to make a figure of me. Maybe one day there will a range of Hivers!
Well, you can now Pop yourself directly from Funko if you wished. Lol
Does your shop carry Fluxx? It's not strictly related to comics, but there is overlap.
Sadly, we do not. Not super familiar with it besides it being a card game. You play?
I wish we had more room for gaming in general. Mineratures, dice, board games…we just simply don’t have the space. 😞
Fluxx is a standalone game, not a CCG/TCG. The rules are simple: start with a hand of 3 cards. Draw a card and play a card. However, the cards you play change the rules and win conditions. New Rule cards can be as simple as "draw 2" and "play 3" or as crazy as "draw and play an extra card each turn if you maintain an outrageous accent consistently" in Monty Python Fluxx. Goal cards set the win conditions, and Keepers played on the table in front of you meet those win conditions. Creepers prevent winning, unless the rules say otherwise. It's crazy, with a mix of luck and strategy.
Gotcha. Appreciate the info on it. My gamer friends have tons of card games along with a gazillion awesome board games. I’m going to ask if they have it or know much about it.
how can I grow up when there's these toys for us real men out there?
One of the cool parts about having the shop is that I get to surround myself with this stuff all day long. I feel young at heart being involved in this world while all my friends and family do real world shit for work. Lol.
I’m like “um…I sell Wolverine toys”…
one day I'll share with you the Penguin story... how a batman collection was rejected!
I’m all ears homie.
Doctor Doom and Rocket Racoon wow!
Yeah, seems like a strange crossover but I’m on board. Doom stuff is on fire 🔥 so it’ll sell no matter what. Lol
