The Yu-Gi-Oh! GOLD SERIES BOXES ARE IN!

The Yu-Gi-Oh! GOLD SERIES BOXES ARE IN!Here are some covers for the upcoming weeks MORE BOOK COVERS TO BE POSTED SOON FOR APRIL/MAY SOON SO PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR THE WEEKLY SCOOP!!:




I'd like to meet:

WELCOME TO ALTERNIVERSE -- ALL COMICS COME BAGGED AND BOARDED AND RESERVISTS GET 10% OFF!! Everything Comic and Gaming Related!! A NEW UNIVERSE AWAITS WITHIN!!


Happy New Year Everyone! Next month we'll be attending another gaming con at Vassar College in NY -NONCON -- we'll be involved with running some fun games, so look'em up and plan for early '08! Lots of CCGing, videogaming, and just fun in general (and hopefully some more cool guests like CJ Henderson and the guys from Something Positive and Questionable Content - lil' plug there). Oh yeah, we'll be there too!! This space is "I'd Like to Meet:" - well I'd like to meet all of you True Believers out there, so feel free to stop by the shop, give us a call, or continue to communicate with us here - I look forward to meeting everyone this year (it's like a New Year's Resolution - "meet everyone"? - doable)..

Music:

UFS NEWS IS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS!:!
UPCOMING STORE STUFF FOR STREET FIGHTER, SOUL CALIBUR, and DARKSTALKERS FANS:
NEW PACKS COMING SOON AGAIN = STREET FIGHTER AND SOUL CALIBUR PRE-RELEASE EVENTS will be held - Look forward to seeing everyone at these cool booster-draft style events! Every Sunday for UFS the top six will be walking away with a special holofoil of a great fighter from one of the legendary Capcom/SNK games, and our THURSDAY NIGHT LEAGUE EVENTS are prize supported as well (there are cards for just showing up folks)! Like I said, this is "music to my ears" and all the fans of the most awesome CCG game to be based on cool video games.

Movies:

2008 we'll be seeing that b@$#@^& Tony Stark (IRON MAN) in his own movie - there's WANTED, BRODIE'S LAW, and then, you know it! =- HULK! Speed Racer and more to come!!

Television:

Don't get to watch much television, but I did get to catch a few new episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Good television was actually Firefly, but you should check out the movie Serenity to get you hooked on that one (you can get the DVD of the series AND the movie - and don't forget the TPB (plug - plug - the new mini-series is here sporting and ADAM HUGHES cover). Don't forget Monday night's HEROES - currently on hiatus!!! Check out all the Tim Sale artwork and letters - is this just genius, or what? No One is Safe and next Chapter will deal with the VILLIANS!

Books:

The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, just finished A Death in Comics (let me know what you think JD), and, of course, there's the TPBs (do they really fit in this category?) - V for Vendetta, The Invisibles (pretty much any of Grant Morrison's craziness), Spider Man Visionaries John Romita (love this guy's art and his dad's) and Todd McFarlane (intro. to Venom and Micheline's fun tangled tales). Let me not forget Preacher, Walking Dead, and Brodie's Law - Brodie's Law is supposed to be getting the MOVIE treatment this year so I'll keep everyone posted on the progress! There are so many others I can't even list them all, but most of them fall into the "comic genre". I did open a "comic shop" for a reason after all -- feel free to make your comments about your favorites too!

Heroes:

Here's some real-life comic heroes! First up is Michael Turner!

Thanks again for letting us take these

The one above has him signing some of my books - Thanks yet again!
Then we have Jamal Igle (the most awesome artist of DC's Firestorm and Nightwing)!

And we can't leave out the girls Snow White - she'll be on the cover of issue seven - and Goldilocks from Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales!

Feast your hearts out, and pick up issues 1 on of Grimm Fairy Tales today! Don't forget that Zenescope also has comics based on the movies Final Destination and Seven - you heard me right, they have a sequel to the movie Seven told in seven chapters. John Doe is back!
MORE PICS TO COME!
MARVEL and DC VS.!


Please inquire within our hallowed halls for these spectacular events (event schedule is being worked out now for the rest of the year and we always play WED night and SAT night). Look forward to seeing all you comic fans at these.LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT EVERYONE DOES WITH THE NEW SETS IN THE NEW YEAR~
