Ghost in the Shell Round Two

 Anyone who's a fan of epic anime has doubtless heard of films
like Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Ghost in the Shell. What makes
these films such classics? Talent. So imagine the treat you're in
for with Ghost in the Shell 2 Ani Manga Boxed Set. So much
excitement is sewn up in this sequel that couldn't stop with
anime; it just had to live on in manga! So if you want to return
to the familiar sprawling East Asian metropolis to learn of human
blood being spilled by an onslaught of robotic hordes, we suggest
you look for Ghost in the Shell 2 in the Viz comic section of
Previews!

Big Overstreet Guide Salutes the Teen Titans

 Need to get more information than you can find in the back of a
monthly periodical? Need pricing that's accurate? The Official
Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #35 is now available in a
special limited edition featuring a stunning 25th anniversary
cover salute to New Teen Titans #1 rendered by original artist,
George Perez. This edition contains only the pricing, top ten
charts, selected glossary, and text from the regular edition of
the Guide. A leaner, meaner guide for the collector on the go!
Look for the Big Big Overstreet Price Guide Volume 35 from
Gemstone Publishing in the Comics section of Previews!

Big Bruiser Work Shirts

 Let's say you've got a long day ahead of you. You have to
install a new muffler system on a used car. You've got to change
out an old furnace. You know, elbow grease jobs where you're
wiping your forehead throughout the day. The last thing you need
is someone else's opinion! So if you want to send the message
that you don't want to yield the floor to anyone else's input,
don the Bruce: The Hulk Workshirt or Logan: Wolverine Workshirt.
These polyester and cotton shirts should convey the message that
you work alone. The names of "Bruce" or "Logan" on your shirt
should tell people that you're not one to aggravate! Look for 'em
in the Apparel section!
