What’s a pull list, you ask? It’s a list of comic books that you ask us to hold for you every month. There’s no charge for this service, but we do ask that you have a minimum of 5 titles on your list and that you pick up all of your comics at least every 30 days, (we really like seeing you’re smiling face every week). Email support_at_alteregocomics.com with any questions.

The launch of the New DC 52 begins August 31st with Justice League of America #1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. Over the next four weeks, DC Comics will launch 51 new comic book series in a bold initiative to bring new readers into comic book stores and get existing readers excited about DC Comics.

We’re totally behind the new DC 52, and to celebrate, we’re giving customers a chance to walk away with some cool swag, in addition to exciting new comic books.

We’re giving away 4 weekly prizes, plus a grand prize of a $200 shopping spree at Alter Ego Comics.

Here’s how it will work: Each time you purchase a new #1 issue from the New DC 52, you’ll receive an entry into our prize drawing. You’ll receive one entry for each, different #1 issue that you buy.  Buy all 52 new #1s, get 52 entries into the drawing.

On the following dates, we’ll choose someone at random from all of the customers that qualify to win the following prizes:

Tuesday, September 13th: DC 75th Poster Book

Tuesday, September 2oth: Absolute Sandman Vol. III

Tuesday, September 27th: DC Cover Art Reproduction Power Girl Print by Adam Hughes

Tuesday, October 4th: Green Lantern Movie Statue

Then, on Monday, October 17th, we will pull the winner of the $200 shopping spree.

I think that we’re all going to win, though, because the New DC 52 looks outstanding!
