AVENGERS ASSEMBLE #1 - KINGS COMICS VARIANT EDITION - It might be a week late (weirdly enough we were sent this issue after the release of the regular covers), but 'Avengers' fans might wanna check this out - we have an exclusive Kings Comics variant edition of 'Avengers Assemble #1'! Just drop on by our store and look for it on the new release Marvel shelves, drop us an e-mail if you'd like one set aside in your Standing Order, or just click the title and buy it online. This variant has a limited edition print run and is only available through our store!

RAGEMOOR #1 - Welcome to Ragemoor. A living castle, sustained by the blood of pagans, home to the deadliest of monsters, summer getaway for members of the Westborough Baptist Church. This bloody fortress has a will of its own, the ability to shapeshift, and the power to add and remove rooms within itself, and it's all protected by a bunch of lunatic apes. This brand new ongoing classic horror series can only be brought to life by the seriously disturbed team of JAN STRNAD and RICHARD CORBEN.

SUPERCROOKS #1 - When there are just too many supervillains in America to make any decent kind of a profit, what can you do? Easy - Euro trip! A group of superpowered bad guys have had enough - they're constantly in competition with their fellow villains, constantly fighting for a share of the loot, and constantly being harassed by the cops and the superheroes, so they decide to head to Spain to pull off one last massive heist... and maybe check out some bullfighting and grab some sweet, sweet churros. A new 4-issue mini-series by the team of MARK MILLAR (KICK-ASS) and LEINEL FRANCIS YU (SECRET INVASION).

THE ROCKETEER ADVENTURES II #1 - He's back! The classic DAVE STEVENS character that spawned a (rather awesome) live action film and several comic book series returns for another 4-issue mini-series that sees some of the industry's biggest names writing and drawing his all-new adventures. Look out for contributions from DARWYN COOKE, PETER DAVID, STAN SAKAI, BILL SIENKIEWICZ, ART ADAMS, KYLE BAKER, J. SCOTT CAMPBELL, PAUL DINI, MICHAEL GOLDEN, DAVE JOHNSON, WALT SIMONSON, MATT WAGNER, and many more. And like they did with the first series, a portion of the profits from this new mini will be donated to assist research into Hairy Cell Leukaemia. A worthy cause and awesome comics? Sold!

BIG BANG THEORY: SOFT KITTY PILLOW PLUSH - If you absolutely must have everything BIG BANG THEORY that you can get your hands on, then you're going to love this! And even if the humungously popular television show puts you to sleep, you're going to love this! From the same folks that bought us the ridiculously cute Soft Kitty Talking Plush comes its big brother, in pillow form. Measuring around 18 inches wide, this here soft pillow (see what they did there?) will keep you warm and sleepy, even without your Memaw humming a tune into your ears.

BIZARRO SUPERMAN II SYMBOL T-SHIRT - It am not back! One of the most popular and asked-for t-shirts we've ever stocked returns this week as the BIZARRO SUPERMAN SYMBOL tee gets a brand new production run! Printed on a high quality eggplant-coloured 100% cotton tee, this here little piece of awesome will be available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes.

DC SUPERHERO CHESS COLLECTION #1: BATMAN - Hail to the Bat, baby! The long-running Marvel and DC Superhero Figure Collection Magazine series gets a companion series as the all-new DC SUPERHERO CHESS COLLECTION starts up this week! Set to start off with just about every Bat-Family member you can think of, the first release in this series has to be (who else?) BATMAN himself. Cast in metallic resin and individually hand-painted, each piece will stand about 5 ½ inches tall, including the base. This week's Batman piece will be the White King, and we can expect to see some more pieces coming through over the next few weeks, including Robin (White Bishop), The Joker (Black King), and The Penguin (Black Knight).                  

LENORE: 'RED CROSS' T-SHIRT - She's the weirdest little girl in the world (well, y'know, besides that hyper lass from 'Toddlers and Tiaras') and this week the lovely little LENORE is featured on her very own t-shirt. Illustrated by creator ROMAN DIRGE, this 100% white cotton tee sees the little miss putting her undead medical skills to good use. This here little piece of medical mayhem will be available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes.

MARVEL HEROCLIX: 'GALACTIC GUARDIANS' SINGLE FIGURE PACKS - It's about time your HEROCLIX collection got cosmic! Defend your end of the galaxy with these GALACTIC GUARDIANS, the latest expansion series of HEROCLIX figures that brings Marvel's most kick-ass cosmic characters a little more down to Earth and within your reach. This series will feature more than 45 new figures to collect, including NOVA PRIME, ADAM WARLOCK, DRAX THE DESTROYER, DOCTOR STRANGE, BLASTAAR, CAPTAIN MARVEL, SILVER SURFER, THANOS, and more, with sub-themes including the Nova Corps, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Defenders, the Annihilation Wave, and the all-new Annihilators. This series of single figures will just be a taste of the Booster Packs to come in a week or two.

STAR WARS BILLFOLD WALLETS - The Force may be strong in you, but that doesn't mean you don't need somewhere to stash your Imperial credits. Two new STAR WARS billfold wallets arrive this week, both featuring an (eventually fired) apprentice of Darth Sidious. Choose from the second trilogy's only redeeming character DARTH MAUL, or go old school with the rather awesome DARTH VADER billfold wallet. Both wallets feature slots for credit cards and other identity-confirming pieces of plastic.

THOR: 'CLASSIC ACTION' STATUE - There's a good chance this might be the best THOR statue ever made. Standing a godly 18 ½ inches tall, this freaking awesome sculpt of the Thunder God shows him swinging Mjolnir around and around, ready to fling it at the first person stupid enough to get in its way. Standing on a Ragnarok-inspired base, this uber-limited edition statue will also come with a second detachable hand that will have a regular non-swinging version of Mjolnir in it. This statue's entire production run has (unsurprisingly) sold out before it's even been released, so the few we'll be getting will be it, folks. You'll wanna get in quick to grab yourself one of these beauties.

That's all for this week, folks!
