Ssalefish GSO First Look #347 for 12.27.23
The Running of the Balls and Reindeer Romp (I got third in my age group) have been run, the company feast has been devoured (at KPot), and Love Actually has been watched while the tree was trimmed, so I guess it’s officially Christmastime! We always want to be as available as much as possible as an oasis of last minute gifts or an escape from your own holiday harriedness, so we only have a few minor changes to our hours:
Sunday, December 24th • Christmas Eve • 11 AM - 2 PM - opening an hour earlier than usual & closing a little earlier (five years of sales data show you guys are usually done with us by then).
Monday, December 25th • Christmas Day • CLOSED
And that’s it! We’ll be back to regular hours on December 26th and, if everything goes to plan, that’s the way it will be until Thanksgiving 2024. Unlike in years past, there’s also no “skip week” for new releases between Christmas & New Year’s, meaning it’s a typical full wall of books hitting the shelves on Tuesday & Wednesday, including G.I. Joe’s official entry into the shared Energon Universe with Duke #1, the final issue of the timely-released Batman/ Santa Claus Silent Knight, and the Something is Killing the Children tie-in Book of Butcher.
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, December 27th (Tuesday, December 26th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
