Kazu Kibuishi is the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling AMULET series. He is also the creator of Copper, a collection of his popular webcomic that features an adventuresome boy-and-dog pair. Kazu was also behind the popular anthology series, Flight and Explorer.
AMULET 9: WAVERIDER—the epic conclusion to the bestselling fantasy series more than 15 years in the making by Eisner- nominated and #1 New York Times bestselling creator Kazu Kibuishi—on February 6, 2024. With nearly 7 million copies in print and available in 21 languages, the AMULET series from Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic, is a cultural touchstone. Fans have waited (not so) patiently for more than five years for this thrilling finale to find out what will become of this beloved cast of characters led by heroic brother-sister duo, Emily and Navin Hayes.
About the AMULET Series
After tragedy strikes
their family, Emily and Navin move with their mother into the old, mysterious
home of their great-grandfather. On their first night in the strange house,
Emily and Navin’s mom is kidnapped by a tentacled creature. Determined to rescue
her, Emily and Navin are led into a world of robots, talking animals, flying
ships, new friends... and enemies. Emily learns that she is a Stonekeeper and
essential to the survival of this world, and that her incredible story is only
just beginning.

FREE Comic Book Day is the World's Largest Comic Book Event and it was founded right here at Flying Colors!
FCBD is always lots of fun, but FCBD 2024 may be a little bittersweet, as it will be the final Free Comic Book Day at the shop were it was founded.
We hope you'll plan to be here, for the thousands of comics we'll give away for FREE, to the amazing cosplayers (maybe one of them will be you if you come in costume)... and there will be more announcements to come so stay in touch!
At the start of every New Year, I take a look back to see what’s working and what’s not working in the hopes of improving our shop here. As many of you already know, 2024 will be a year of BIG changes for Flying Colors.

Now, about the Best Sellers list here:
(Click on the list to see it better)
Recently I posted Flying Colors 2023 Best Selling Comics and Graphic Novels.
After doing that, I thought it might be eye-opening to take a longer view. So here’s a list generated from our Best Sellers since we went to a computerized inventory management and “point of sale” system.
We went live with that system on March 1, 2012… so this list comprises our Best Selling Graphic Novels from that date until the end of 2023, almost 12 full years and many many thousands of graphic novels later.
My hope is you’ll look over the list, maybe share this post with friends and hopefully find something new to read. After all, with the amount sold at Flying Colors of each of these books, that’s a vote of confidence for just how entertaining and engaging these books are.
Peace ’n’ Comics!
