Siege: Embedded #2 will feature the debut of an Acme Comics employee in the Marvel Universe! As you know, Jermaine first broke the barrier when he was written into Ultimate Spider-man #89 (original art on display in the backstock room), two customers with unique names became reoccurring characters in REBELS, and the whole crew got a photo in the letters page of G Man Cape Crisis! If you stick with us and support our events, you never know, you might wind up in a book! To see who is in Siege Embedded by Brian Reed and Chris Samnee, and what they have to say, reserve a copy before they get gone!
COME AND GET YOUR VIOLENT LANTERN
RINGS
Though several brave souls challenged the unscraped sidestreets to get to us on Monday, we decided to extend the Violet Ring release to whenever you can make it in this week. Supplies of this final Lantern ring are not infinite so if you are interested, try to bring two cans of food with you tomorrow when you pick up the new releases!
BE CAREFUL
Please be courteous to your fellow motorists and comic enthusiasts when you head to the store tomorrow. Though the wintry weather has let up for now, the parking lot in the ol' Acme Comics Shopping Center is still pretty treacherous and today's rain isn't helping matters.
