That's right! There's a new Dark Tower book coming out and, for some reason, we've decided to have another midnight release! This is great news for people who are fond of getting things before anyone else. The rest of you can get the heck out! We'll be giving away all sorts of stuff and it'll be pretty ridiculous. Heck, five people will win a Hardcover collection of the first Dark Tower comic! That's absurd!

Heck, even if you aren't too concerned about the Dark Tower, we figured that, if we're going to open the store at such a late hour, why not have a sale, too?

DC HeroClix: Crisis is ON SALE NOW!

We're doing a Release Tournament for the new set this weekend.  For $20.00 you get two boosters of Crisis which you use to build your team.  We're also providing a brick of prize support on top of the reduced price you pay for your boosters!  There's no way you can lose in this tournament!

The new HeroClix set is here, but it won't be for long!  There's a ton of demand for this new set, especially the Buy it by the Brick figure, which is a "World's Finest" that has Superman and Batman on the same base!  Seriously, you shouldn't be able to count on getting this set after the first week of availability.  I mean, you might be able to, but based on what our distributor is telling us, it's unlikely.

The Savage Sword of Conan is pretty much like one of those DC Showcase or Marvel Essential volumes, where you get a ton of pages of classic stories for an awesomely low price point--in this case, over 500 pages for under 20 dollars sounds like a good deal to me.  If you've ever wanted to read some of the classic Conan stories, there's not a much more economical way to go than this.  We're also getting volume 1 back in, just in case you missed it when it sold out!

Hey, remember Infinite Crisis?  It came out a long time ago.  Well, this is actually the first time it's been availabe in trade paperback.  So, I guess they decided to make it really cheap!  I mean, if you think about it, the issues were four bucks a pop and there were seven of them, which means this is almost half the price of the individual issues, and it has a bunch of character designs and extras and stuff.  Why, it's almost an absurd deal!

I don't really know what to say about this.  I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place, because there are a lot of people who love Rob Liefeld out there, and I'm not one of them.  That would mean I'm the wrong person to talk about Onslaught Reborn.  So instead, I'll just stop talking.

All sorts of things.

• Silver Age Superhero Comics - While recent comics are all pretty enjoyable, we really only want the Silver Age Superhero stuff. The Silver Age is generally going to be comics published on or before 1977. It can sometimes be hard to figure out the date a comic was published, so a good rule of thumb is that the cover price should be $0.35 or less. And while we have nothing against comics not about superheroes, the stuff we can sell is Silver Age Superheroes.
• Used Trade Paperbacks - If they're in decent condition, we'll probably pick them up. It's difficult to give any hard and fast guidelines for what we want, because it depends a lot on what we have in stock and what we can order.
• Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic Singles - We only buy rares, and I can give you even fewer guidelines about this. Mac is in charge of all of our singles sales, and he works on Thursday through Monday, so those are really the only days we can buy any cards.
• Used Roleplaying Games - We'll look at pretty much any roleplaying games. We don't usually buy stuff that is currently in print, but if you've got the time to stop by, it's worth a shot. We're always interested in classic Dungeons and Dragons books.
• Used Records - Thomas buys a lot of old jazz and blues records for his personal collection. Records are like CDs, except black and older. Kind of like the blues musicians Thomas likes!
• Vintage Paperbacks and Pulps - I don't know anything about these. We might buy them, though!

We have some special forms for you to fill out when you play a game, so ask for them!  They make everything super-official!

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.
