September 2009 Previews Highlights
Hello, and welcome to the first of our monthly postings to highlight noteworthy items in the upcoming Diamond Previews catalog (these September orders are set to arrive roughly in November).
Comixology has set up a Previews Page that you can access at any time. They update it each month, and you can find the link to it in the upper left-hand corner of every Comixology page.
To make your search a little bit easier, below are selected books that we at Fantom felt were worth noting. You can click on each title to find out more, and, if you like what you see, simply Subscribe to it (for all books in the series), or Pull it (for just that one issue). As long as you do so by 11:59pm on Friday, September 25th (it's always the last Friday of each month), your selection will be guaranteed (barring cancellation of the book entirely, of course).
We apologize that this month's presentation isn't all we'd like it to be. As we'll discuss in the upcoming Store Newsletter and on our website, Fantom Comics signed a lease for a spot in the Pentagon City Mall yesterday! But that leaves us only 2 weeks to get it set up for an October 1st opening, so things are pretty hectic here.
thanks,
Fantom Management
