Much better now… Happy New Comic Book Day!

16/06/2026

Absolute Batman is back tomorrow… and judging by how quickly the last few issues have disappeared from the shelves, I don’t think these copies will be hanging around for long 👀

Absolute Green Arrow returns as well, which has been one of the biggest surprises of the year so far, and there’s plenty more arriving alongside it.

We’ve got new Amazing Spider-Man, Batwoman, Battle Beast, Lobo, Superman Unlimited, Predator, Sonic, Odin and a brand new What If? featuring Thor.

Also, for the horror fans, Hello Darkness continues and A Quiet Place is back on the wall.

Full sneak peek is in the reel above 🎥

What are you heading in for this Wednesday?

Absolute Catwoman is finally here 👀

This has been one of the books we’ve been most looking forward to seeing land this year, and after getting the shipment in, it’s definitely the headline release on this week’s wall.

There’s plenty of other good stuff arriving too. Avengers: Armageddon kicks off, Bishop gets a new #1, Superman: Father of Tomorrow launches, and we’ve got new issues of Green Lantern Corps, Conan, TMNT, Star Wars and Nightwing.

We’ve also managed to get a restock of X-Men ’97 Season Two for anyone who missed out first time around.

Full sneak peek is in the reel above 🎥

A little trip down memory lane…

Before Forge and Finds had a permanent home in Ipswich, events were where it all started. Packing up stock, meeting fellow collectors, talking comics, Pokémon, and all things nerdy with people who shared the same passions.

Thanks to Angie's Breakfast & Burger Shack the 2nd August is going to feel a bit like going back to those roots.

We’re excited to be heading out to meet a whole new crowd, introduce people to Forge and Finds, and hopefully bring a few new faces back to our amazing community.

And before anyone asks – the shop will still be open as normal while Harry is away. 👍

Have you ever discovered a favourite comic shop, creator, or hobby through an event? Let me know in the comments!

Another fantastic Pokémon League night in the books ⚡🔥

Some great games throughout the evening and a strong showing from a variety of decks at the top tables.

🥇 1st place – Mathew went 3-0-0 with Raging Bolt ex & Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
🥈 2nd place – Mason also went 3-0-0 with Cynthia’s Garchomp ex
🥉 3rd place – Carl finished 2-1-0 with Mega Starmie ex

It’s great to see the top spots being contested by such different archetypes. The meta never sits still for long 👀

Huge congratulations to all our players and thanks to everyone who joined us for another brilliant evening of Pokémon.

See you next Tuesday! ⚡

I have a feeling a lot of pull lists are about to get a little bigger this week 😅

Batman is back. Absolute Green Lantern returns. Deadman gets a new series. We’ve got new Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Cyclops. Plus Marvel are giving us both What If? Uncanny X-Men and X-Men ’97 Season Two in the same week.

Then there’s some really fun wildcards on the wall too. Lilo & Stitch 626, It’s Jeff, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and a brand new Supergirl series.

Honestly, this feels like one of those weeks where everyone is going to find something they’re excited about.

Sneak peek is in the reel above 👆

League night was hot! and we aren't just talking about the temperature outside!

Another hotly contested night of battles, and unlike the past 2 regionals we only had 1 Dragapult make the top 3.

1st place - Teddy with Mega Starmie and Mega Frosslass
2nd place - Ollie with Dragapult ex
3rd place - Jackson with Mega Frosslass and Mega Lopunny

Don't forget you can join us every Tuesday at 6pm to battle at the shop, or watch and enjoy our livestream on Twitch!

Another hotly contested night of battles, and unlike the past 2 regionals, we only had 1 Dragapult make the top 3.

Slightly delayed due to the bank holiday, here is this week’s new comic books!

Phantom of the Opera continues the awesome run on Univeral Monsters, the mistress of all DC magic Zatanna is back with issue 2 of her new solo run. A brand new Stitch book experiment 626, while the Fantastic Four continues to figure things out with the Planet of the Apes!

As always a truly great selection of books hitting the new release shelves!

Thinking about starting something new at Forge and Finds… 👀📚

A Comic Book Club 💙

Basically the same idea as a book club, but for comics, graphic novels, manga, and all things sequential art ✨

The idea would be a relaxed evening every couple of weeks where we pick something to read, hang out, chat comics, discover new stories, and just enjoy the hobby together 😊

Before we start planning properly, we wanted to see who’d actually be interested!

We’re currently thinking every 2 weeks, most likely on a Monday or Tuesday… but we’re open to suggestions 👀

Vote in the poll and let us know:
📅 Monday?
📅 Tuesday?
📅 Another day entirely?

And if there’s a comic, manga, or graphic novel you’d love to see featured, drop it in the comments 👇
