It's already mid-february,
and I've been having this existential crisis about graphic novels. I haven't read much lately and started wondering: did I fall out of love with them? But then I picked up Maus by Art Spiegelman (yes, shame on me for waiting 25 years), and got late to work just to finish it. I don't know why I'm always in awe when something is so good even though people keep saying it for years.
That's when I knew - graphic novels are forever.
Have you heard about DSTLRY?
DSTLRY is like the cool new kid - everyone wants to be their friend, everyone wants to be like them, everyone wants to know everything about them.
Founded in 2023, DSTLRY is backed by BIG FAT NAMES in the comics industry: Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joelle Jones, Chip Zdarsky, Stephanie Phillips, and so many more.
I ignored them for a while but honestly? I can't anymore. The stuff they're pulling is SO GOOD, you might want to keep an eye on this collection.
My secret tip right now: Warm Fusion. I even wrote a review on our website - that's how much I loved it!
"In this unflinching thriller, beauty and brutality dance in perfect harmony through New York City's neon-drenched underbelly. Detective Hannover pursues a ruthless killer stalking the city's escorts, but the investigation spirals into something far more sinister.
At its heart is Snow White, an escort whose missing limbs tell only part of her story. Her obsession with a mysterious family uncovers secrets better left buried. Above it all loom corporate titans and corrupt politicians, orchestrating deadly experiments from their glass towers - each move in their game paid for in blood.
This isn't just another crime thriller. Warm Fusion weaves together murder, corporate conspiracy, and body horror into a tapestry that will keep you awake long after you've finished reading".
Seriously, pre-order it! Or check out White Boat by Scott Snyder - that's Walt's current obsession.
Our Favourites ❤️
We have a tiny (but growing!) collection of books we call our absolute favourites. These are the graphic novels that Team Walt will always - and we mean ALWAYS - recommend when someone asks "what should I read?"
It's our best of the best (totally subjective, of course). From modern masterpieces to timeless classics and hidden gems that deserve more love - these are the books that got our whole team nodding in agreement.
Our collection features standouts like Little Bird: Fight For Elder's Hope. This graphic novel by Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram won the 2020 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series - and wow, did it deserve it!
In just six issues, they created an incredible world filled with defiant, unsettling characters that stick with you long after reading. Bertram's art is intensely detailed and gritty, but it's absolutely perfect for this story. A true masterpiece!

NEW STUFF!!!
That's our unpacking station by the way. This is where Simone stands all day to get his hands on Nick & Dents first.Do you get a dopamine kick when a package finally arrives? Jakob, who unpacks every single book that comes into our warehouse, probably doesn't anymore. But I bet you'd get it if you were unpacking one or two new comic packages a week!
What's finally hit our store?
New stuff like What's The Furthest Place From Here? TP Vol 04 - wow, because I thought Volume 3 would be it for some time, and what a great surprise that Volume 4 got in so fast! Last we saw these kids, one was fleeing from the only place she might survive, and the others were looking for a place that didn't exist while on the verge of dying.
And also, the long-awaited first volume of Power Fantasy by Kieron Gillen has arrived - and guess what? It comes with its own DM cover! There has been a hype around this one in the Gillen Fan Club and it's really understandable why.
We also have restocks that come in again and again, like Daytripper, the constantly-selling-out story that shows how impactful life's little moments and interactions can be.
Just so you know - some stuff might seem like it's always out of stock, but it always comes back in stock, then sells out again, but don't worry! It'll come back in stock again :)
Really annoying when you miss something, right? But wait, we have something that might help you!
Did you see our newest feature?
We have a tiny new feature that tells you when we have less than two products in stock. Why? To help you manage and prioritize, of course!
Not sure if you should buy that out-of-print Fantagraphics graphic novel? You know, the one that people will sell for 400€ in two years? And there are only two copies left? Then you better get it!
That's it! Thank you! Have a beautiful week and don't forget to read your graphic novels!
