Acme E-Mail Update #88: Who is an Avenger?

Well, Team Acme didn't come home with any gold from the Carolina Video Games Summit this past weekend, but we got the name out there to a whole new area of NC and came home with lots of new ideas what will impact you in the future! 

Ok, people.  Let's see who reads the e-mail:

  • The first 5 people to sign up for Comic Shop News on subscriptions will get a FREE Dark Horse 100 Solomon Kane: Death's Black Rider variant. These are limited to 1,000 copies worldwide and have only been made available to us through our special retailer relationship with Dark Horse Comics.
  • Anyone who correctly guesses the line-up of the Secret Avengers on the message board will receive a prize! If you guess the entire roster, you'll get a super-prize! You must be the first person to correctly guess each character in a post on the dedicated message board thread to win!
    This offer is not good if you work for Acme Comics or have been to our houses for any reason.
