New Comic Book Day!

Legend Dan — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:47:58 +0000

This top pick this week is the long awaited Wolverine in Hell series. We’ve got Shadowland #3 and a really good Brightest Day #9. The Indy comics bring us Incorruptable, Murderland #2 and Scarlet #2 – Scarlet is a pretty good read.

Stop what you’re doing right now and read Avengers #4. Seriously. Do it.

All better? Okay.

Three new books came out today in the Curse of the Mutants storyline. Batman 702 is just awesome, filling in missing bits from the Final Crisis storyline and showing why, exactly, he’s lost somewhere in time. There’s a new Generation Lost, hunting down Maxwell Lord. Wonder Woman shows off her new jacket, Time Masters search for Bruce Wayne throughout the timeline and Deadpool invents a rabid hamster gun. And it works.

New Comic Book Day is here again!

Fall of the hulks finale – Exactly the right amount of HULK SMASH I’ve come to expect from a hulk comic. Meet the Bizarro version of Supergirl in Supergirl #55. There’s a new Buffy season 8 comic. The best news, though, is a lot of indy comics reprinting issue #1 for $1. Chew #1 and Walking Dead #1 are must-reads.

Magic standard tournament Sunday @ 1:00!

Legend Dan — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:00:37 +0000

I’ve been asking around and the answer is yes – you guys want to test your Standard skills. So come down to the store on Sunday and put your mana where your mouth is.

Bring your own constructed deck Sunday at 1:00. Your deck must contain at least 60 cards, and if you wish to have a sideboard it must be exactly 15 cards. We’ll play 3 or 4 rounds, depending on how many players turn up. The current standard card pool is all cards from the sets Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn, Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, M10 and M11. There’s a lot of cards to choose from and a lot of different decks that could emerge victorious.

Entrance fee is $5, and everyone who shows up gets a free foil Leatherback Baloth. Prizes will be packs or store credit, and probably another foil promo card I’ll find lying around.

Magic Booster Draft Sunday @ 1:00!

Legend Dan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:02:51 +0000

It’s high time for another Magic draft, but a shortage in Eldrazi boosters means I’m not sure what we should play. I’m leaving it up to you guys – either a 3x M11 draft or a Zen / Zen / WW draft. Post a comment here or on our facebook page and tell me what you’d rather play. Either way, the entrance fee will be $15, and I supply all packs, prizes and basic land.

Prepare for Prosperity Preorders!!

Legend Dan — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:25:33 +0000

The new Dominion expansion: Prosperity, is coming soon. This set takes the already awesome game of Dominion and quite literally cranks it to 11. Look for 10 point colony cards, Platinum treasures worth 5 coins, and action cards that cost 7. I own every Dominion expansion personally, and I guarantee you that this is the best set they’ve done yet.

Preorder your copy now at Canton Games and you get a double bonus. First, you get 20% off the retail price just for placing the order. Then, while supplies last, we let you pick a free promo card – either Stash, Envoy or Black Market. These exclusive cards are not for sale at any stores anywhere, and we’re giving them to you free just for buying the game you know you’re going to get anyway.

So come on down to Canton Games and preorder your copy of Dominion: Prosperity today!

Malifaux Demo: Saturday at 1:00

Legend Dan — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 04:00:43 +0000

Do you have an interest in Steampunk, Goth or Horror? Do you like Miniature games, but don’t want to pay out a huge startup cost? Do you hate losing die rolls? Malifaux may be the game for you. Come to the store today at 1:00 for a free demo of Malifaux, the best new miniatures game to come out in years. It’s entirely card based combat – which means you’ll never lose the game due to a bad die roll. Come check it out!

New Comic Book Day!

Legend Dan — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:25:14 +0000

Hello, all. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a new Comic Book day post. Things have been a bit hectic around here. The comics have been heating up as of late – let’s see what we’ve got this week.

Brightest Day #7 finally sheds some light on the White Lantern. This is the issue that shows why everyone’s been resurrected and what their new purposes might be. I know some people have been lukewarm on Brightest Day – give this one a read and see if it doesn’t rekindle some interest.

The indy scene also lights up with Irredeemable and Murderland #1. Amazing Spider-Man shows us what really happened the night Peter Parker and MJ *didn’t* get married. There’s new Avengers Prime & Secret Avengers for you Steve Rogers fans. And last, but the exact opposite of least, Deadpool #1000. In a word: Win.
