Here’s what we promised, our list of Black Friday Specials. Some of them behoove the early bird, but everyone should be able to find something for gifts or even for themselves. Remember that we open at 9AM and the first person to spend $25 or more gets a copy of one of my favorite games for FREE! (our distributor accidentally sent us and extra one, so we’re out to spread the love).
New Comics Wednesday!
Here’s the full list of comics coming out this Wednesday, and it’s a big one! NEW Blackest Night main series, Green Lantern, Hulk, Iron Man, JSA *and* JLA, Avengers and X-Men! Make sure to pick up some reading material for when you’re sacked out on the couch full of turkey!
As an aside, this is also the first week we’re going to be getting magazines in (this time, Wizard Magazine), and we’ll be getting more in the future.
Thanksgiving + Black Friday Hours!
Since I’ll be either be eating obscene amounts of turkey six hours from Knoxville or digging large holes in a national park on Thanksgiving, we’re going to be closed all day on the 26th this week. That said, we’re going to open at 9 a.m. on Friday, the 27th – ‘Black Friday’. We might even do something special for Friday… it might behoove the bargain-conscious buyer to keep an eye on the Web site at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Just sayin’!
New Indy Comics In!
Just got a new shipment with a big restock and branching further into some series that readers of the indy comics at the shop have fallen in love with. Of note – Barack the Barbarian *2*, featuring the titular hero battling the vile Coulte, er, Cholere; lots of trade paperbacks for Grimm Fairy Tales; a full restock of every Worlds of D&D Anthology published. The full list below the cut!

THREE Demos for Sunday Board Games!
For the Sunday Board Game Day, we’ve got several different games that we’ll be trying out:
* At 1 p.m., we’ll be having a gameplay demonstration of HeroClix. Before going on hiatus a year ago after its developer closed its doors, HeroClix was a wildly popular collectible miniatures game based on Marvel and DC Comics, It’s now being revived by another company. The newest set – Hammer of Thor – takes many of the popular heroes and villains from the pages of Thor and puts them in miniature form. We’ve got the new HeroClix Battle Packs in stock now – at the special price of just 5.99! – and we’ll have a case of Hammer of Thor coming in next week.
* We’ll also have demo copies of Arkham Horror and Smallworld in the store, both of which are 20 percent off this week, as they’re good for large numbers of players and playable for younger gamers. Arkham Horror takes place in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythology, and is a very involved, longer game (we might be playing ’til 9 or 10!). Smallworld, by comparison, is a lighter-hearted fantasy game where fairy tale creatures attempt to get dominance over a mythical continent.
Remember, the 20 percent sale on many of our most popular board games only goes through tomorrow, so come and give them a try!
