New Year, Same Good Ol’ Shop!
Hey comic fans!
I trust you all had a pleasant holiday season? Well now that we’ve all broken our New Years’ Resolutions on the first day (Damn you Double Pizza! The aroma of your meat lover’s pizza was too much to overcome!) and had a great time to relax and enjoy ourselves, let’s talk about what’s coming up in this brand new year!
Now “End of the World” aside, it’s going to be an exciting year in the world of comics. Marvel’s biggest event of the new year will be Avengers vs. X-Men! Something is going to pit these two mega-teams against each other and it’s going to take over the Marvel universe in a 12-issue monthly series! No one’s really sure what will cause the event but there are some theories based on Marvel Teasers. It’s going to have something to … Read More »
Twas the night before Christmas
Well comics fans, it’s Christmas Eve. The day is upon us!
I’d like to take a moment from the jokes and the carefully crafted posts that make me look wittier than I actually am, to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa, and Happy Holidays! It’s time for giving and celebrating what we have, and those around us who make our lives fuller and worth living. Make sure to spend some time with your loved ones, watch some holiday specials, drink some eggnog and enjoy the festivities. It only comes around once a year, and it goes by in a blink, so make the the best of it while you can. I for one can’t wait to get home and watch Muppet Family Christmas, open up some gifts, and enjoy the company of those … Read More »

Welcome… It’s Here!
After months of planning, weeks of assembling and days of panicked tweaking, the doors of The 4th Wall East have finally opened!
It’s almost 2 years to the day that we opened The 4th Wall in the West Island area of Montreal and with this second store we are right across the street from a Metro station which gives all of our friends downtown a chance to pop by and see how it is we do things.
But that’s not the only unique feature of The 4th Wall East.
Sure, we’ve still got the services of ComicPull, we’ve still got the focus on the comics reader both new and old, but at the 4th East we are exposing ourselves and the medium we love to a whole new audience: the Gamers.
That’s right, The 4th … Read More »
The Family Gets Bigger…
As you may or may not have heard, the news broke late last night: We are opening a second location of The 4th Wall!
Two years ago next month, we set out to do something different in the world of comics retailing. We wanted to create a store and atmosphere that was completely unique, and bring a different approach to the medium we love so much. We wanted to share these characters, worlds and books with you, and many of you have come to love them just as much as we do.
Two years, one comic strip, an online pull service, a smart car, several sales, Art groups, art shows, conventions, parties and wonderful new friends later, I humbly think that we’ve begun to scratch the surface of the tip of the iceberg.
This second store is a big deal, … Read More »

The Artistic Society of The 4th Wall – Inaugural Meeting
The first meeting of The Artistic Society of The 4th Wall was held on May 26th, 2011.
We gathered at The 4th Wall after 6pm, and once introductions were made, a general discussion about what we each were looking for from this type of group took place.
Several members look forward to feedback on their various creative projects, other were looking to learn more about comics as a whole, and still other were simply excited to have a creative meeting place and monthly “deadline” to get their ideas out onto paper.
It is a diverse group, with artists, writers, webcomic creators and a few new fans of comics just looking to learn more about the medium.
The meeting lasted until after 8pm, and a couple things were decided:
First, the meetings should start at 7pm to allow for travel and traffic. … Read More »
