The Short of It:
1. Avengers #1 Launch Party -- Be there!
2. New This Wednesday
1. The big news this week: after Siege's shocking end, it's time for a new day at Marvel -- a Heroic Age, shepherded by what else but a brand new Avengers #1? This is Marvel's hugest launch in maybe a decade and select stores throughout the country, including yours truly, are taking part in a special Avengers Launch Day Party to celebrate the event! Come in tomorrow during our open hours (noon to 8 PM) and purchase your copy of Avengers #1 to get a FREE, EXCLUSIVE, ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONE DAY John Romita Jr. print featuring his "I Am an Avenger" promo artwork (which can be seen here: http://previews.diamondcomics.com/public/catalog_images/STK_IMAGES/STK400001-420000/STK419621.jpg). Supplies are limited so make sure you get yours right away. Avengers #1 also features five variant covers, some rarer than others, which will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. So basically, don't forget to come in tomorrow and get your books early. You won't regret it.
By the way, Marvel was gracious enough to send us an advance copy of Avengers #1. I read it and I thought it was spectacular. It alone is well worth $3.99, and when you throw in that sweet JRJR print -- how can you go wrong?!
