Lots of good stuff coming your way as always! First and foremost, thanks to everyone who came down for the Halloween 2 Tailgate Party. We hope ya'll had a good time, we had a great time hosting and we hope you all enjoyed the 30% off sale.

More importantly, if you guys haven't been checking out the blog on the website, please do! We've got an ever growing list of contributors including Mitch Maglio who has been doing a fantastic job throwing his comic book expertise and knowledge around, ready and willing to share it all with you. He's been posting something new on an almost daily basis and he's always got something good to bring to the table (I'm not just saying that, it's really good!). So please check it out. We've also been joined by our good friend Stephen Lindsay, creator of Jesus Hates Zombies and Inspector Ham & Eggs so keep on the lookout for his antics. And, of course, make sure you don't miss Previews & Reviews with Gore Jones appearing weekly. Now for the rest of the news!
