Avengers Day Party (this) Weds. May 19

k3n — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:06:30 -0400

Marvel is relaunching all of their Avengers titles, and the new #1 comes out Wednesday! Now, Those-In-The-Know must be thinking “Big Whoop, don’t they do that like every other month??” Yes, yes they do — but hey, we’re always lookin’ for an excuse to have fun and give deals, so why the hell not! We’ll be opening @ 11am, and the first 25 people who pick up the new Avengers book will get a FREE Limited Edition Print (aka Fancy Poster), available ONLY at the Avengers Day Party! Also: Everyone who buys that #1 will get FREE STUFF; the catch there is that the freebies they receive will be determined by a spin of THE WHEEL OF MADNESS — could be good, could be…not-so-good. And there’s always the chance of having to eat a Ritz Bitz from 2003… Plus: What would a comic party be without DEALS?? Our special discount for that day will be 25% OFF ALL AVENGERS-RELATED ITEMS (New-This-Month stuff excluded.) But this isn’t just Avengers comics, it’s everything that has to do with anyone who was EVER an Avenger (which we discovered is almost all of the Marvel Universe) So that Spider-Man Statue, Hulk T-shirt, Captain America poster, etc. etc. etc. will ALL be 25% off all day! And since we’re hosting one of these parties, Marvel hooked us up with crazy deals on some Variant Edition comics, which we’ll have on sale @ 80% OFF!!! We’ll brainstorm the next day or two and see if we can’t cook up a few more neat ideas to make this, without a doubt, the GREATEST AVENGERS DAY EVER!! haha. — Wade

Custom Picture Clock for $15

k3n — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:06:06 -0400

I know what you’re thinking: “I’ve made it to the ripe old age of 44 without owning a timepiece. Why should I buy one now?”

Well, in actual fact, clocks do make life easier. Like how right now you measure the position of the Sun to know if it’s time for your cat’s insulin injection? No more, once you’ve purchased this fantastic device. And it’s got plenty of uses beyond simple veterinary homecare… I assume.

Plus this clock can be made using any digital picture you want, or we can send you this one with Wade’s lovely mug on it for only $10 :)

Email brandi@comicmadness.com with any questions about customizing a clock. Subject: Custom Clock.
