STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING: IT’S NEWSLETTER TIME! Join me, Tom Batten, as I take you on a guided tour deep through Velocity controlled territory! Together we shall learn more about the darkness that lurks within the hearts of men, and about the light that keeps that darkness at bay!
YIPPEE-KI-YI-YAY: I don’t know if you’ve been down ol’ W Grace st lately, but if so you might have noticed that our old Home Base has been destroyed! It’s lucky we moved to our new location when we did because the hammer has fallen and who knows if they would have given us a head start if we had still occupied the building. It’s the end of an era, and now there really is no going back. We’ve been cut loose from the ties of our past with only the future to look forward to…will it include more issues of Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk? join us and we’ll all find out together!
GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BAD NEWS: We’re fixing to BE CLOSED THIS WEDNESDAY to celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY! That’s right, we’re all set for a 24 hour ROUND-TABLE discussion of realistic defense strategies against alien invasion, the heroism of Randy Quaid, and the questionable actions of President Bill Pullman during a time of INTERNATIONAL CRISIS! Never fear, though, because we’ll be back fully rested on JULY 5TH with NEW COMICS to share with you,our beloved customer base.
AND CHECK THIS OUT WHILE YOU ARE AT IT: Because we are benevolent, loving people, we have created a NEW SECTION in the store JUST FOR MARVEL AND DC HARDCOVER COLLECTIONS! Good comics, classy presentation, the only thing that could beat that is the love of another human being. And while money can’t buy you love, it CAN buy you a charming copy of THE SILVER SURFER OMNIBUS!
