Replace Your Hero Carousel With This Structure

SECTION 1: Hero Headline + Subheading + CTA (Top of Page)

HEADLINE (Main Value Prop):

Expert-Curated Comics for Fans, Collectors & New Readers

SUBHEADING (Why Epic Panels):

We hand-pick the best comics, guarantee pre-order deadlines, and ship everything with love. No middleman markup. Just great stories.

PRIMARY CTA (Button):

Browse Our Collections → Links to /collections/all

SECONDARY CTA (Link):

Get First Dibs - Join Our Email List → Opens email signup modal

SECTION 2: Three Value Prop Boxes (Below Hero)

Replace or augment carousel with these three 'pillars':

Box 1: Expert Curation
Icon: ★ (Star)
Headline: Hand-Picked Comics
Copy: Every book is selected for story quality, collectibility, and value. No endless scrolling through thousands—just the best.

Box 2: Guaranteed Pre-Orders
Icon: 📅 (Calendar)
Headline: Locked-In Deadlines
Copy: Pre-order with confidence. We set firm dates and hit them. If we don't, you get 10% off. That's our guarantee.

Box 3: Travel-Ready Format
Icon: ✈️ (Plane)
Headline: Compact Editions
Copy: Premium stories in portable format. Perfect for commutes, trips, and readers who want quality in their pocket.

Show 3 featured collection cards:

  • Pre-Orders: 'Get first dibs on upcoming releases'
  • Compact Comics: 'Premium stories, portable format'
  • Value Bundles: '10-Comic packs at unbeatable prices'

SECTION 4: Social Proof (Before Footer)

Added reviews/testimonials from customers here
