Damaged Comics
there was a printing issue with DC comics releasing this week, specifically Absolute Batman #20, Absolute Martian Manhunter #11 and Barbara Gordon Breakout #1. All of our copies of Absolute Batman and Absolute Martian Manhunter and most of our copies of Barbara Gordon Breakout are damaged. This is a nationwide problem with most stores reporting damages on all of their copies of those particular books. We are waiting to see how DC Comics wants to handle this and will let you know when we do.

Kill Team dives into a new warzone with Terror on Devlan, a highly anticipated boxed set packed with brand new miniatures for the Tyranids and Astra Militarum, including the long‑awaited return of the Red Terror, now in plastic for the first time. This expansion also introduces an exciting new way to play, letting customers add heavy reinforcements or stage dramatic boss encounters in their games.
Alongside it comes the new Kill Team: Nemesis Operatives book, which allows customers to create their own boss‑scale operatives, plus two individual teams previously available in Kill Team: Shadowhunt, the Murderwing and the Celestian Insidiants.

Fake Pokemon Cards
There are large numbers of fake Pokemon cards out there. We have a few on display in our case, just so you know what to look for. The easiest "tell" is an off center back on the card. A real Pokemon card will have the border the same width all the way around. The texture of "foil" cards is also a giveaway. If the filing ir really smooth, it is likely a fake. also, if the card text does not make sense, it is likely fake. We had a customer bring in a foil Charizard card this weekend and the text referred to burning the opponent's elves. Of course, there are no elves in Pokemon
