Nov 4: Chris Giarrusso at Game On! Comics

Game On! Comics Weekly Digest Come  Visit Us! October 29, 2013 In this issue :: New Titles this Week :: Game Nights     Dear Mike,    STORE SIGNING this Sunday!   Sunday, November 3rd from 12-4 meet Chris Giarrusso!  He is the writer/artist of G-Man.   "Here is an absolute delight, a volume that will be shelved with children's titles, but should definitely be sought out by superhero lovers of any age. The visual style is completely charming, creating an amusingly detailed world that young readers can explore over and over." - Publisher's Weekly Check out Chris' website: G-Man Website With Halloween just around the corner pick up a great Zombie Game to play with friends!   The Walking Dead Board Game: The Best Defense  is a cooperative board game in which players take on the roles of Rick, Glenn, Daryl, Michonne, and other characters. The Survivors must defend four key locations from Walkers - the Farm, the Prison, the Town and the Highway - in order to stay alive. The game board is assembled at random for each game, providing for variability in the locations; a 25-card resource deck - containing either Equipment, Allies, Food or Ammunition - is placed at random on one of the locations.Walkers and other calamities are triggered in different locations by a 48-card Event deck (every card is unique!), which players draw from each round. They must then figure out how to minimize the effects of these Events, using dice to resolve combat and determine the outcome of some events. Survivors can work together to combine their combat abilities or split up to cover more ground. If the Survivors don't clear the Walkers out of a location, they'll lose resources - and if any resource deck runs out, the players lose the game. Thus, players need to keep the Walkers at bay while not using up too many resources themselves.   Unlike most cooperative games,  The Walking Dead Board Game: The Best Defense  includes a leadership role that a player can take for one or more rounds. Each player character has a unique leadership ability that provides a bonus while that character is in charge. The Walking Dead Board Game: The Best Defense  includes two gameplay modes. In the "Beginner" mode, players share all information on their Event cards so that the leader and others can take everything happening in the game into consideration. In "Expert" mode, players may  not  share their Event cards, which means that leaders might make decisions that are detrimental to other players - but those players can defy the leader (for a cost) and make their own moves. Why would they do this?In addition to just trying to stay alive, each player has a secret "Ulterior Motive" card that specifies a mission for that player. If he completes that mission, then he earns a partial victory, even if the Survivors as a group would otherwise lose. The Ulterior Motive cards are recommended only for advanced players who like a bit of conflict in their co-operative games.   $40.00        Our phone number has now changed.  Our new number is 703-539-8680.  Please change this in your smartphone and contact list.       Comic store picks our comics of the week for Oct. 30, 2013     If you have not already download it, why not??

REX, ZOMBIE KILLER #1                     REX, ZOMBIE KILLER tells the story of a hyper-intelligent Golden Retriever named Rex, a sign language-speaking gorilla, and a small pack of animals making a perilous cross-country journey to find safety...and a home.   Rex is trying to reach the doctor who raised him, but the doctor's been relocated to an underground military bunker in Nevada," Anderson said. "So even if they make it across a zombie-infested California, there's not necessarily a cozy fireplace waiting for them."   Issue #1 picks up from the One-Shot issue from 2012, and will make a great jumping-on point for new readers. REX, ZOMBIE KILLER #1 is written by Rob Anderson (MY LITTLE PONY: SPIKE MICRO, GREAT ZOMBIES IN HISTORY) with interior and cover art by DaFu Yu (GRIMM FAIRY TALES, WONDERLAND ANNUAL), interior colors by Juan Romera, cover colors by Kevin Volo, letters and design by E.T. Dollman, and edited by Paul Allor (TMNT: FUGITOID MICRO, ORC GIRL).                 Thank you so much for your support of our new comic and game shop.  We look forward to taking care of all of your comic and game needs.   Don't forget to go on yelp.com and write a review about us too!!     Please tell your comic/game friends about our shop, we would appreciate their business.       Please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us!!      Please tell your friends about us, we would love their business!     Follow us on Twitter too!      J.R., Louis, Matt and Micheal  Game On!
