Editor's Note: Tom Fleming is a local artist who's a great friend of Fanboy Comics. He's a good dude, and I think it would be cool if you helped him out.
Hey guys,
I recently received the great news that two of my paintings have been accepted in the Greenwich Workshop's "Smallworks North America" competition and Exhibition! For those who aren't familiar with the Greenwhich Workshop, they are one of the biggest and most respected Fine Art Print makers in the world. Of all the artwork submitted, they chose 208 pieces, two of which were mine!! I'm very excited, but this is where YOU come in;
The top 208 pieces are presently on the website, and they are asking the public to vote to decide on the top 40. The top 40 get represented and published in the Greenwich Workshop catalog and gallery. This would be a HUGE deal for me, especially since I just started my venture into the "fine art" world five paintings ago. I have attached the link to the website below along with the images. All that you need to do is register as an "art collector" (which is just your name and address), then just view the artwork (art is listed in alphabetical order by last name) and vote for my pieces in the "Gold" & "Silver" metal categories. Voting ends Nov. 23.
I know everyone has very busy schedules, but PLEASE take a few minutes to vote, this could actually be a career changing event for me, and I absolutely appreciate all your support!! Please feel free to spread the word to anyone and everyone else!!

This Saturday, October 20th

The winner will receive a brick of HeroClix: Justice League and the Limited Edition Starro Huge Figure:

That's pretty nifty!
This Sunday, we're holding one of our biggest Hordes events yet! Beginning at 5:00 PM and going until 9:00 PM, it's a knock-down, drag-out fight to see who can rack up the most successful defenses. The full rules are available at Privateer Press's website, in convenient .pdf format.

You can click that image for a bigger version where you can read all of my lame jokes!
It's your standard sealed event: $20 entry, each player gets 3 boosters to build their team with, and the winner gets a booster for every player who showed. Just in time for Halloween!
52: The Compendium TP
$19.99
Ever wonder what stories were responsible for Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid's decision to single out the c-list characters they did to star in one of DC's biggest, most ambitious projects since Crisis on Infinite Earths? Well, this trade paperback should go a long way towards explaining that. It collects great solo stories about the main characters from the following issues: MYSTERIOUS SUSPENSE #1, GOTHAM CENTRAL #40, ANIMAL MAN #16, DETECTIVE COMICS #350, METAL MEN #45, SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #97, STRANGE ADVENTURES #226, RIP HUNTER: TIME MASTER #97, SECRET ORIGINS #35 and JSA: SAVAGE TIMES!
52: The Covers HC
$19.99
In spite of the amazing writing, plotting, and everything else in 52, these covers by J.G. Jones might have been the most outstanding part of the whole series. Over the course of a year, 52 came out on time each week with a new cover, every one of them based on art good enough for me to frame and put on my wall. This hardcover provides some insight into the design process that was behind producing the most eye-catching cover on the shelves every week, for a year.
Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy Ultimate Edition HC
$29.99
If you thought about picking up that Sunwell Trilogy World of Warcraft Comic that came out, but were never a fan of the digest-sized trade paperback--well, here you go. This hardcover has the whole trilogy (by Richard A. Knaak, who wrote some Dragonlance novels that I thought were really good back in the day) in a standard, 8x11 format. If you're that hypothetical person I outlined in my opening sentence there, then, well, you have no excuse not to buy this.
Dungeons and Dragons Rules Compendium
$26.95
Tired of hauling all of your D&D rules supplements to the gaming table? Having trouble finding the rule you need? The Rules Compendium
supplement takes all of the game's most important rules and presents
them in a single comprehensive, easy-to-reference volume for players
and Dungeon Masters. In addition to presenting the rules of the game,
the Rules Compendium incorporates official errata as well as
behind-the-scenes designer and developer commentary explaining how the
rules system has evolved and why certain rules work the way they do.
Marvel Select Zombie Hulk Action Figure
$19.99
Finally, an action figure representing someone who can bite through THE SILVER SURFER'S HEAD. Look at that Hulk there, with his missing body parts and rotting flesh. Isn't he adorable?
Look, I have no idea where I'm going with this, so let's just save everyone some embarassment and end this here.

That's right, we appreciate the people who have subscriptions to weekly comics through our store. So much, in fact, that we're having a Subscriber Appreciation Week, going from Thursday, November 1st, to Wednesday, November 7th. Anyone who comes in and updates their subscription information during that time will be entered to win a one year subscription to 10 comic titles--a value of over $300!
Of course, we're still fairly egalitarian here at Fanboy, so we want to give non-subscribers a fair shake. Anyone who starts a subscription with us will also be entered in the drawing for the free year of 10 comic titles!
That weekend, from Saturday, November 3rd, to Tuesday, November 6th, we'll also be having a sale for subscribers where nearly every comic-related-item in the store will be 20-50% off--but only for subscribers!

Anyone wishing to DM on D&D Game Day should shoot us an email at fanboycomics@bellsouth.net!
You can also pre-order the next Dungeons and Dragons miniatures set right now! $135.99 for a case!
As usual, a great many comic books have been pushed back to a later date. This news is so shocking that we are now developing a weekly section where we announce comic delays, so you can better know when your favorite books are coming out. Or when the next delay announcement will be, whatever. We'll also include other schedule announcements, like different products coming back in stock, second printings, and the like. But this is the comic industry, and we all know which type of announcment we will see the most.
