May 22nd Is The Big Day!
16th May
Hey Guys!
So, this is it! At 8pm May 15th we closed the doors at the St Jean location and are prepping to spend the next few days moving everything over to our new home at 8364 Labarre.
It’s going to take us a couple of days to get the new place up to snuff so as of May 22nd, we will be all set to go in our brand new, custom designed space at 8364 Labarre (H4P 2E7) in Montreal, just South of the 40, East of Decarie and right next to De La Savane Metro.
The West has been so very good to us, and we can’t thank everyone enough for all the support they’ve given us over the last few years as we tried to build a better mousetrap with our store.
The next phase of that starts now … Read More »

Keep The A–holes Where They Belong: Behind Us
5th September
Over the last week or so, there has been a lot said in the comics world about abusive, aggressive and downright scary trolling.
Many women in the industry have been under assault from a clearly unbalanced man, some for years now. I won’t go into detail about his tweets and messages, but you can read about the story here.

What? Well I guess you’re right I should probably write a little more!
Last month around this time, our very own Jeff Moss wrote a post about Thanos, to give everyone the info they needed to learn about this character who has recently seen a rise in mainstream popularity. You know which other character has recently seen a giant spike in public interest? Bane! Now seeing as I’m a resident Bat-Expert (it’s a real field, I have a degree, I’ll show it to you sometime) and because we at The 4th Wall strive to give our fans/public/readers everything they need and want, I’ve decided to give you this little amuse-bouche of this excellent character.
So who is … Read More »
Take The Bad News With The Good
7th May
Sometimes in life, things happen.
If you’re really lucky though, the disappointing things happen around the same time as something good and it balances it out in the end.
I sort of feel that way right now because, with a disappointed heart I have to announce that the Nerdy Little Secret comedy show that we had planned for May 13th at the Comedy Nest has been cancelled. The circumstances were unfortunately well beyond our control and in the end, we’ve got to put it to rest.
One thing that I have always been very proud of about The 4th Wall is we take the shots. If there is a chance to reach out and connect with the community around us in a way that’s exciting and fun, we want to try it. So with that said, be sure that there will be … Read More »
DC’s Second Wave
2nd May
Comic-fans, it’s been nearly one year since DC’s widely controversial re-launching of its entire line of comics. There have been great successes (Batman, Aquaman, Justice League, Animal Man, etc.) and there have been some not so great books (the six cancelled titles for example). But DC did not plan to just cancel a bunch of series and just not do anything about it. No sir/madam, they planned a “second wave” of comics! This week, I picked up three of this new wave. the three that most interested me, and here’s a little review of these handful of titles.
Earth 2 #1: This is a book that is probably going to surprise a lot of people. It’s very different from what we see in the regular DC “continuity” at this particular time. Much like the Justice League series, this jumps right into … Read More »
