NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE WEEK OF 9/9/10

50% off all Back Issues this weekend! New books in on Thursday!

A few points of interest to talk about this week so I'll get right to it! First and foremost, a great big thank you to Scott Wegener and Jeff Powell for coming in to sign in support of their book, Atomic Robo. We had an awesome time with them and we hope those of you that stopped by did too. And, seriously, if you don't read this title you really should get in on it, it's so good! We have plenty of Volume 1 trade paperbacks in stock so there's no excuse!

Next on the docket is the issue of Labor Day. As you know Labor Day is on Monday, September 6th and yes, we will be open! We will however be closing early at 6pm so make sure you get your fix in beforehand. In honor of Labor Day though we are having a special Weekend Back Issue Sale that starts today (Friday, September 3rd) and ends on Labor Day (Monday, September 6th)! What is it you ask? A whopping 50% off all back issues! That's right folks, everything in the back issue bin is 50% off this weekend!

Finally, the first date of the Graphic Novel Club has been decided on. The first meeting will be Monday, October 4th and future meetings will be held the first Monday of every month. For those of you that are still interested but have not yet reached me, please send an e-mail to comicbookjones@gmail.com with your name so that I can keep a running tally of those who want to take part. For more information on all this and other events happening at the store, keep reading!



OUR TOP 5 PICKS FOR THIS WEEK:

MONTHLY GRAPHIC NOVEL CLUB STARTING IN OCTOBER!

UPDATE: We finally have a date for the first meeting of the Graphic Novel Club! We will convene on the first Monday of every month, starting with Monday, October 4th. Be there!

We are finally starting something that I've wanted to do for a long time, a graphic novel book club! Here's the deal - it'll meet once a month (one book per month). Your job is to read the book and come in and have some meaningful discussion about it (moderated and run by the enigmatic Sprocket Jones)! Most of you come in here and do it anyway so I think it would be fun to get as many people involved as possible. Any books that are chosen for that month will be discounted for book club attendees. SO, with that said, if you are interested in being involved in the book club, send me an e-mail at comicbookjones@gmail.com with your name and information attached so I can get a head count.

CASUAL PLAY HEROCLIX ON SUNDAYS!

Starting this Sunday, September 5th we will be conducting free open play of Heroclix down at the store starting at 3pm. It will be casual play and will happen every other Sunday. As we gather more interest and participants in the coming weeks we will start conducting tournaments. Come down if you're interested in playing or learning how to play!
