Picks of the Week

Batman Beyond #1
Yep, you read that right - the future of the DC Universe continues, as BATMAN BEYOND becomes an ongoing series! Terry McGinnis and Bruce Wayne are stronger than ever after the battle with "Hush" brought their alliance close to the breaking point. But now a super-powered criminal has gotten in way over his head - and the whole Justice League has come to Neo-Gotham to hunt him down! To top it all off, the crook's taken hostages... including Terry's mom! It's the start of a story that will change Terry's life - and the BEYOND universe - forever... so don't miss out!


 Ultimate Captain America #1

Captain America meets his ultimate nemesis-the Captain America of the Vietnam War!  As new enemies face off, old secrets from the super soldier project are revealed. From the superstar Wolverine: Weapon X creative team of Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, get ready for a hard hitting story of one man's quest to serve his country...and the sacrifices he must make.






Who is Jake Ellis #1

Jon Moore is the most sought after spy-for-hire in Europe's criminal world.  This is because of Jake Ellis, a psychic man who is invisible to everyone except Moore.  When a deal goes bad, the only one who can protect Moore from Europe's most dangerous criminals is Jake Ellis.

HeroClix DC 75th Anniversary Set


 The Heroclix DC 75th Anniversay set has arrived! This is a great set with some stellar characters. This set includes plenty of characters from the various Lantern Corps, as well as classic versions of DC's finest. On top of that, there are 10 White Lanterns (these are rare) included in the set and a mail away offer for a White Lantern Sinestro.



 I've been impressed with this set so far. It appears to have a nice number of powerful characters mixed with some lightweight, yet playable characters. There are also a lot of fun sculpts too; ranging from Beast Boy with his Cheetah, Grizzly, and T-Rex forms to Bane breaking Batman's back. One of my personal favorites is the Red Lantern Guy Gardner with his chainsaw. Wizkids does a nice job of making certain scenes from comics come to life which makes it a lot of fun for avid comic readers.


If you've thought about  playing the game, this is a nice set to start with. If you just like collecting the figures, you're taken care of on that end as well. Either way, we have booster boxes in stock now.
