In connection with the Pioneer Library, Speeding Bullet Comics will host a book club discussion at 6 p.m. July 16.

This month’s book is “Absolute Batman Vol. 1: The Zoo” by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta.

The book description is as follows:

A gang of masked killers terrorizes the streets of Gotham. A vigilante fights for his city–but he’s not the Batman you know. The Absolute Universe, born out of the Justice League’s apocalyptic battle with Darkseid, ushers in a set of brand-new realities that reimagine your favorite heroes as you’ve never seen them before. In Absolute Batman, meet a young Bruce Wayne with no Wayne Manor, no Alfred by his side, and a different axe to grind as the Dark Knight.

The Book Club sessions are hosted by Dave Brown and designed for adults.

The Weekend of Local (WOL) is a campaign encouraging customers throughout Oklahoma to go visit, shop and eat from local businesses between July 17-19. The celebration asks Oklahomans to show up and spend money at local businesses only throughout that weekend!

Speeding Bullet will celebrate with events, signings and specials throughout the weekend!

To acquire all of the shiny treasures in the world!

Sunday: Ink and Draw!

The latest Norman-based “Ink and Draw” will be held from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N Porter Ave. in Norman. The event is hosted in conjunction with the Oklahoma Comic Arts Foundation; this week’s event is part of the “Weekend of Local” celebration across Oklahoma.

All comic-book creators, amateur, professional, and everywhere in between are welcome. Come to the shop and discuss your comic-book work with other creatives, ask questions or just work on your scripts or drawing!

This July, celebrate your comic-book independence with “Team America Racing.”

The high-octane motorcycle team that faces mystery and intrigue alongside their lives as motocross racers will return to comic shops in the one-shot “Team America Racing: Full Throttle Edition” this July 1 from CSN Press.

The comic was written by Speeding Bullet Comics co-owner Matthew L. Price, and is drawn by Josh Hood with colors by Lorenzo Scaramella. Dave Witting at CSN Press is the publisher, and this one-shot features variant covers by comics legends Howard Chaykin (“Star Wars”) and Javier Saltares (“Ghost Rider”).

The one-shot goes on sale July 1, and Speeding Bullet will celebrate with Matt signing on both July 1 and July 4, from 2-4 p.m.!

In the one-shot: When rising motocross star Nicki “Ghost” Randall hits the circuit alongside teammates Buzz and Ram, the thrill of competition quickly turns dangerous. A mysterious saboteur targets racers, while a shadowy figure known as the Highwayman lurks just beyond the finish line, unraveling a conspiracy that threatens the entire sport. Blending breakneck racing action with character-driven drama, this debut captures the spirit of classic ’80s licensed toy comics while delivering sleek, contemporary storytelling. Every jump, crash, and close call builds toward a larger mystery, making this more than just a racing comic; it’s a story about legacy, teamwork, and pushing past your limits. For fans of G.I. Joe, Transformers, and high-speed action, this “Stranger Things meets X Games” one-shot is a fresh start to a franchise built for collectors and readers alike. This issue collects the complete story originally serialized in Comic Shop News issues #2000–2005, along with interviews and special bonus material.
