This is one of our favorite books by @tanyahuff.bsky.social & she's an auto-buy for us.

When we got rid of our duplicates we kept both copies because they were so worn, & bought more on sale when Borders went under.

You can't break the spine on an ebook!

Our pals over at @thevaultcomics.bsky.social have been popular this weekend! In addition to their great line-up of SFF and horror comics, they had a live set-up of Post Malone’s BIGRIG (not to mention an event with the artist himself)!

Bonus: @brandonsanderson.com’s THE DARK ONE on display!

Angled shot of the various and super-cool comics that Vault Comics has available, including THE DARK ONE by JAB client Brandon Sanderson

In the background, Post Malone’s BIGRIG but made reality: a giant, decked-out truck with skulls and spikes and seriously cool features (oh my!). In the foreground, a small table featuring the BIGRIG comic and Aethon and Vault’s names
