It's a special week for us as we celebrate our 1st birthday on December 11th - more of that in future posts, but for now we just wanted to say a big thanks to all our customers this year for their enthusiasm, and in many cases help, as we got the business off the ground. Hugs to you all :D
As for this week's comics there is plenty to get excited about - It's the season for holiday specials with a Rebirth special from DC and Gwenpool from Marvel. Hawk Eye gets a new #1, a somewhat changed, post-Revolution Optimus Prime kicks off a new series and IvX formally gets running with #1.
Oh, and every-one who buys comics this week gets a free copy of Red Sonja #0! (while stocks last ;))
Hope to see you in the store soon for another year of great stories and cunning gameplay plans :D

At the Spire, a sprawling mountain of metal and stone in the middle of a radioactive desert, Shå, the Commander of the City Watch, is tasked with keeping the hodgepodge of forgotten technology and new biology safe.
When a string of grisly murders is committed just as a new Baroness of the Spire is about to be sworn in, Shå will have to find the killer and bring them to justice.
