THE ALL NEW ALL STAR TREASURE HUNT!


You might of heard the rumbles about us getting around and we can now safely put those rumours to rest. In early 2015 (late January to mid February), ALL STAR COMICS MELBOURNE WILL BE MOVING! From our original home at Level 1/ 410 Lonsdale St, we'll be packing up and setting up shop in a new and exciting Melbourne CBD location!

Your first question is no doubt is, WHERE WILL THE NEW STORE BE?! Where? WHERE? WHERE?

Well, we could just simply tell you the location but what would be the fun in that? How about a little CBD treasure hunt, with clues and prizes to reveal All Star's new home?

The prize bounty awarded to the first person to figure out the new shop location will be a $250 ALL STAR GIFT VOUCHER, a VIP tour of the store before the opening and of course bragging rights, that you found the store first and very well could be Batman to our Riddler!

The rules are simple:
-Wait for clues of the store's location through our Social Media channels. Most will be obvious, others maybe not so much but you might want to start checking back with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogspot on a regular basis.

-Use the clues as best you can to figure out the new location and submit your guess of Street number and name by either Private Message on our Facebook page or our email at all.star.comics@hotmail.com, clearly titled ALL NEW ALL STAR TREASURE HUNT. Only guesses submitted this way will be included in the Treasure Hunt.

-Most importantly is you can only guess ONCE, so make sure you are 100% positive! You could get your guess in early in hopes you might be first but with less clues that might hard to get it right. You could wait to until more clues are revealed but then you might not be first to make the guess!

-If the location hasn't been picked by the time of us revealing it, the guess closest to the location will be nominated the winner!

It's really simple, anyone can have a guess, so join in our little game of store cat and mouse!




Your next question might be why? If it isn't broken, why fix it?  Well, as much as we love where we are now, after only 4 short years are already feeling a little cramped. We want to continue to have a warm, open and welcoming space, while being able to house and showcase the growing number of single issue and trade titles released on a weekly basis in the best way possible.

We've enjoyed providing you this space in the past and along with having the room to host excellent in store events, continuing to support and help build the local comic book creating and reading community, we realise that we might need a little more space to make this happen in a way that benefits everybody.

We all hope you'll love the new location as much as the old one. The only reason this move is happening in the first place is to give you the opportunity for a exciting and enjoyable comic retail experience. The only reason it CAN happen is from the overwhelming love and support you have all given us from day one. So, thank you for that. You have no idea what this means to us.

We are insanely excited for you all to see the new place, so here's to the future and get on to cracking those clues!

Much love,
The All Star Crew

BIG HERO 6 QUAD-PASS GIVEAWAY!



From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the team behind “Frozen” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” comes “Big Hero 6,” an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax (voice of Scott Adsit), a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada (voice of Ryan Potter). When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago (voice of Jamie Chung), neatnik Wasabi (voice of Damon Wayans Jr.), chemistry whiz Honey Lemon (voice of Genesis Rodriguez) and fanboy Fred (voice of T.J. Miller). Determined to uncover the mystery, Hiro transforms his friends into a band of high-tech heroes called “Big Hero 6.”Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring breathtaking action with all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” is directed by Don Hall (“Winnie the Pooh”) and Chris Williams (“Bolt”), and produced by Roy Conli (“Tangled”).

ALL STAR LEGENDS Presents:GODLAND VOL 1



The end of the year is upon us and with the festive season in full gear it is easy to get misty eyed thinking back to our childhoods or a simpler time gone by but also be excited and optimistic for the new year ahead. Taking this into account picking this month's Legend, we thought GODLAND VOL 1 from Joe Casey and Tom Sciolo, matched that sentiment pretty closely.


Godland unashamedly presents itself as a tale of epic cosmic superhero adventuring akin to classic Kirby and Lee of the Silver Age but approaches it with a slightly more modern/cynical and almost self aware edge.

The story follows Commander Adam Archer, an astronaut that has become a superhero fuelled by cosmic energies and his three sisters, that are clearly sick of living in the long shadow Archer now casts. Living out of a New York skyscraper, Archer is now a one man response team for the US government with his sisters as his support. An encounter with a cosmically aware space canine and a villain simply looking to experience the greatest high in existence later and you start to get a good idea of where Casey and Sciolo are coming from and where they plan on taking you. .


Casey's approach to this series is wonderful in that his tone perfectly matches the grand, over the top nature of comic storytelling from the late 60's and early 70's. Then at the same time he is smart enough to have the characters comment on just how outlandish some of the situations are, making it instantly feel more contemporary.


There has possibly never been an artist more perfect for a story then Tom Sciolo on art for Godland. His style mirrors Kirby's with such knowing intent and respect, you can't help but fall in love with it. Panels and pages look like they could be lifted directly from you favourite Silver Age Fantastic Four or New Gods issues, yet they somehow manage to also possess their own modern edge.

These two have created a comic book equal parts nostalgic yet somehow unique. So, longing for the past but hopefully for the future. ;)


As always the ALL STAR LEGEND will be available to 30 days (or until stock sells out) at the discounted price. As this will be limited stock promotion there is strictly “no holds” on the legend. The early bird catches the comic. No further discount applies to the book as there is a big chance the comic will already be cheaper than the US cover price! The discount also only applies to the volumes listed, not the entire set of trades.

If you have any questions, you know where to ask them. You can buy the legend from this Wednesday 10th of December.


All Star Legends. The legendary titles of the highest recommendation.

New Comics For Wednesday 10th of December


Another week down, another week closer to Christmas! But before you get busy looking for gifts for others, don't forget to take care of yourself with this week's latest and greatest releases.

The long awaited  GUARDIANS OF GALAXY ANNUAL #1 is here featuring incredible Frank Cho artwork. If you thought it odd to have Wolverine as a Principal surely Spidey as a Headmaster doesn't seem like a bad idea in SPIDER-MAN AND X-MEN #1. Festive Season celebrations and mayhem with HARLEY QUINN HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1. Kelly Sue finally breaks out her female space prison, creator owned series BITCH PLANET #1. One of the original Image titles turns 200 in SAVAGE DRAGON #200. SUPERMAN UNCHAINED DELUXE ED HC gives us all the Jim Lee Supes we could hope for over this holiday season! Far to long between issues, AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #7 is like an early Xmas present. Dean Rankine unleashes another round of those drug fueled cuties with ITTY BITTY BUNNIES COCK FIGHT ONE SHOT. Manga magnificence with the aptly named SATOSHI KON OPUS TP. And one of this year's most exciting releases, with creators Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt and Paolo Rivera at the helm and our amazing tie-in giveaway promotion, how could you pass up on THE VALIANT #1!
Then there is still the bonus of the next LEGEND PICK too!
So much to check out. Just let us know if there is anything extra you need.

ALL STAR UNIVERSE Presents: THE ALL STAR IMAGE INITIATIVE


Image Comics in recent years has proved itself to be the "go to" publishing house for some of the most interesting, engaging and exciting titles currently on the shelves. With a focus on creator owned projects and the faith to try different ideas, we are seeing some of the best new series of the last couple of decades coming out of Image. Now at the forefront of quality in comics with popular titles such as Saga and Walking Dead, to critically acclaimed series like Sex Criminals, Chew and East Of West, Image continues to lift the standard for comic book story telling release after release.



With a massive back catalogue of excellent titles, first trade collections at introductory prices and reprints of the first issues of their most popular books for only a $1 US, it would be fair to say Image has a book for you no matter your budget and taste in comics. 

It is in that we recognise the great work and effort Image is making to get you interested in both their titles, reading and enjoying comics in generally. Now we want to do our best to continue Image's growth and reach with readers here in Melbourne.

We would like to introduce to you the 
ALL STAR IMAGE INITIATIVE

The idea is simple. We are combining two of Image's already great ideas into one! Every so often we'll nominate a Image title that has a introductory priced first trade collection and then combine it with a copy of the Image First, $1 US reprint of the first issue of the same title FOR FREE

Our hope is that if enjoy what you've just read you'll want to share how good the series is with others. Now you can simply take the FREE copy of issue #1 included with the trade and give it to someone else you think might enjoy it as much as you. If they don't it doesn't matter because it didn't cost you anything but if they DO, well that's where the magic happens. Hopefully that person will then go out of their way to pick up that first trade for themselves and in turn pass on their FREE copy of issue #1 to yet another reader in waiting and so on and so on. So continues the circle of excellent comic life! 

We hope you like this idea as we are super keen for it ourselves and hope you'll help us to spread the greatness of Image Comics to as many people as possible.

Keep a look out for the first ALL STAR IMAGE INITIATIVE title in the next few days and here is seeing more amazing releases from the Image Revolution!
