Just a quick reminder, tonight at 7pm is our monthly trading party! We think it will be a perfect night to hang at Uberbot, snack on some Little Debbies, enjoy some music, give big love to Lupin, talk vinyl with good people, and trade some toys!!!  See you tonight at Seven!!

Strangely, Thanksgiving last week caused comics to be late this week!  It might be Thursday but it will still feel like Wednesday at Uberbot!  New books are here and we have something special to highlight!  UZUMAKI Volume 1 is finally being re-released after several years!! It is a must-read on our list, especially if you’re a fan of the Lovecraft!!  Uzumaki is about a town that is haunted not by a person or being but a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral - the hypnotic secret shape of the world.  Great story and beautifully creep art!  Book 1 of 3 is available now!!  What else is shipping?  Look below!

That is right!  We’ll be closed for Thanksgiving! It’s not a bad holiday. Sure, you get that parade thing on TV that used to be fun to watch but, mostly, it’s a day to eat. For us, whole wheat pancakes, baked ziti smothered in fresh deli mozzarella, and chocolate lava cake with heavy whipped cream!!! Oh yes, good eats will consume the Überbot. When it’s all over, jog to the Winter Park Village for a visit on Friday and buy some toys for your friends, new apparel for yourself and give us some love to boot. We’re all about love, you know.

PS - We’ll be open regular hours on Friday 11am to 10pm!!  Peace!

This week might be Turkey week but new books will not be stopped!!!  Highlight of the week, Angel After The Fall #1.  We like Buffy but we can easily say that Angel was a far superior show.  The final season was amazing and ended with an insane scene.  Angel After The Fall, written by Joss Whedon, lets us know what happened after that final episode.  It’s a must read comic and Angel is a must watch show!!  Click below to see all other titles shipping this week!

The final show of the year has concluded. Pooka Machine and Terribly Odd helped us end things with a bang by producing the best work either have ever done! The pieces won’t be up as long as our regular shows due to the holidays so, if you missed out, please be sure to come by and see the art in person. A few pieces are still for sale so stop by or check our website over the next few days! Also, a reminder, the Odd Shop is now open featuring all new apparel from Terribly Odd that you will love!!!
