A note from Tommy:


It’s amazing how many times I’ve heard “I knew they were going to do that” in the last two weeks. “Knowing” doesn’t seem to be stopping the reaction however as more and more people are adding “Captain America: Reborn” to their pull lists every day! This is the Marvel event people have been asking for the past two years. With the best team on Captain America in decades this book is looking to be one of, if not THE best event Marvel has ever done. I know I sound like a hype machine but I have learned to never underestimate Ed Brubaker. Anyone who can kill one of the most beloved characters in the history of the medium and make people more interested in the comic is aces in my book.

DC is fighting the Marvel glut with a few top tier titles of its own this week. The second issue of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin arrives shockingly on time. I hope this is a continuing trend because the first issue was pretty fantastic and I would hate for a sluggish shipping schedule to kill any momentum that this book picks up. Blackest Night begins for real this week with Green Lantern Corps #38. Easily the most highly anticipated DC book since Infinite Crisis.

If you didn’t pick up a copy of Detective Comics last week I implore you to check it out. Greg Rucka writing crime fiction using characters he helped create would be reason enough to read it but JH Williams art makes the book flat out breathtaking.

All that and much more (including MUPPETS!) are coming your way this Wednesday.

On to the list!

Game news and such:


And a new regime takes over.................

Starting in June, my “smiling face” (tongue firmly implanted in cheek here) will only be seen on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tommy will be promoted to manager, and will be taking over on Fridays, and through the weekend. I’ll be seen on occasion on the weekends, or maybe even indulging in a Magic the Gathering Booster Draft, but not on a regular basis. - Frank

Gaming news and such:

Board Game Night now starts at 8:00 pm on Fridays, and will generally last until 12:30 or 1:00. Friday Night Magic, as always, starts at 7:00 pm.

To co-ordinate a gaming group of any kind, please call Frank, Tommy or Jessica at 594-2845. We are happy to accommodate your needs.

We are still working out the details, but watch for the announcement on the citywide Magic Tournament scheduled for late July/early August...hopefully a joint venture among local stores, this promises to be a fun event for all concerned.

Tommy is offering casual Magic Tournaments (through the WPN Network) on Sundays, so come on down and play, win some Path to Exile foils, and learn the game with no formal tournament pressure.

If you have any questions regarding any of the above,
please call 804.594.2845, and ask for Frank, Tommy
or Jessica, and we will hook you up with the info!!
