iFanboy has assembled a list of Top 5 New Comic Book Writers To Watch For In 2012 and 3 of them are writing for DC Comics New 52 line-up! The list includes Josh Williamson, currently writing UNCHARTED and will be taking over the storyboard DC New 52's VOODOO, Nathan Edmondson of GRIFTER, and, listed as the top writer to watch in 2012) Joshua Hale Fialkov of I,VAMPIRE.

Okay, Its Pretty Much the Same Trailer with a little more action added to the end… but it's the German Trailer and, thus, sounds about how everything would sound if Captain America hadn't helped the Allies win World War 2.

Like most teenagers his age, Peter [played by Andrew Garfield] is trying to figure out who he is and how to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that his father [Campbell Scott] held… a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story

Just in case you have little evil squirrels of your own bouncing of the walls as they count down the days until Santa drops down the chimney with a sack full of goodies for them (or jimmies the locks on those homes that do not have fire places), we got the scope via webcam of those flying reindeer of his via ReindeerCam.com. And, just to let you know, Santa romps out every afternoon at about 4p.m. Central time to feed his aerial sled-team… just in case the lil’ ones want to check that out too.

Did you know Evil Squirrel Comics will be the only comic book shop in Chicago where you can get your hands on the first issue of "Sacrifice", the new six-part indie comics miniseries written by Sam Humphries and drawn by Dalton Rose?

If you haven't already heard, "Sacrifice" brings us the tale of a troubled teenage boy lost in the ancient Aztec empire, where he's become a central figure in a religious conflict. Humphries earned superlative praise for his and Steven Sanders' self-published Our Love Is Real, and Sacrifice has already inspired praise from Uncanny X-Men and Phonogram writer Kieron Gillen, who said: "What happens when two of history's greatest death cults meet up? Aztecs vs. Joy Division fans. You haven't an answer. You haven't even thought of such a thing. Humphries and Rose have. Listen."

Don't miss out on this hot new first issue... call us at 773.338.0899 or Email Us to reserve your copy today!

We did and challenged them to war. December 14th will go down in history as the day that Evil Squirrel Comics knit more scarves in one night than The Glenwood Crew.

If you haven't heard yet we're in danger of closing. Our landlord has been very lenient with us the past few months, but as we get closer to the end of the year he does want the back rent we owe. We've been busy, we're making some money, but not enough to be able to pay him, a few other bills that have been on hold and stay open. So we decided a few weeks ago that we would have to close our doors after the New Year.

After we put our announcement up on Facebook,  we've had dozens of calls asking us to stay. Can we host a fundraiser? Can we cut peoples discounts and if we do that is it worth you staying open? The answer to those questions were all yes, and we have been lucky to have help from all of our amazing squirrels to put together "Save the Squirrel Week" starting on December 11th. We will have a weeks worth of events to tantalize, titillate and hopefully persuade a few of your dollars into our donation buckets.

Kicking of the events will be Sunday, December 11th's Super Hero Bingo at our Favorite bar The Glenwood. Located right down the street from Evil Squirrel Comics it's the ultimate place to come dressed up as your favorite super-hero, play a little Super-Hero Bingo and win some Amazing prizes, and, all of the work, performance and gosh darn love have all been donated to help keep the Squirrel Alive. That's right folks... Super-Hero at The Glenwood.

On Tuesday, the 13th, we will be heading down to the Original Mother's bar on Rush & Division to party hardy with the band Idle Spies and She-nanniga Comedy Winner's Michael Larimer and Anish Shah.
