We have a new shipment from Discord Comics, publisher of sexy queer, trans, polyamorous , anthologies! (And one YA one I guess.)

Behold, the BUN ZONE! We now have a special rabbits section on our site in addition to the cat and dog sections! https://shop.crowsnest.quest/collections/rabbit-warren (Note it's not actually called the BUN ZONE because if it was I would put all the Vietnamese food comics there too.) Happy Bunday!

We're once again teaming up with acclaimed writer Seanan McGuire for a signed preorder campaign! My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #1 (w/ art by Amy Mebberson) is coming out in November and we're offering Seanan-signed preorders, to be shipped on or after release date. (We may not be able to get Seanan to sign them before release due to her busy schedule, which means shipping may come a lil' late.)

We at Crow's Nest Comics have been made aware of a potential biphobic incident that has been committed by a staff member in the shop today. After extensive investigation we have determined that it was not the staff member's fault that a copy of The Prince in the Basement was next to her when she did a Big Stretch and that it is not a crime. Please find our official statement included.

(She's not sorry either way.)

Did you know that new Genroroh Tagame manga dropped recently? It's an adorable food manga featuring two men being extremely cute with each other. It's got an undertone of sadness since it's literally set in 2020/1, but in the end it's about two guys finding a way to exist in a world of sorrow with the power of food and homosexuality.

Sable's cat Leo (the one working from home to protect our wifi network) is also officially our Cat of Networking!

Also: there may be cats when you come by. If you're allergic or don't want cats to try to interact with you, let us know and we can exile them for a bit!

STAFF REC: Outed as asexual on by her mom's blog even before she could figure it out for herself, Daisy is really, really, over being the daughter of Chicago's Mommy Blogger. With the help a group of other teens exploited by influencer parents and her best friend's family, she's going to figure out how to be herself and maybe help stop this from happening to other kids in the future.
