Have you heard? IT'S THE DAWN OF A NEW YEAR! I hope your collective holiday experience was rewarding. I don't mean that in a material gains sort of way, more of a spiritually enriching sort of way. Just kidding, what'd you score?!?!

Hello, all...

What better way to come down from your holiday cheer than a somber legal tale putting the release of the highly anticipated WATCHMEN movie into jeopardy? I could paraphrase it for you, or you could go to http://www.cracked.com/blog/fox-can-eat-several-dicks/ to get a proper summation. Not for the faint of heart!

This week in BRICK: SWALLOW ME WHOLE gets scrutinized. Does it pass the test? http://www.brickweekly.com/index.php/booksprint/article/comics_swallow_m...

The hogwinds blow in slow and smooth over the marshland, thickening the air with the sweet stink of meat and decay and Christmas in Richmond. On Broad street, a boy pokes his nose into the air and the smell warns him that strange days are ahead.

HOW STRANGE? Velocity Comics is proud to announce that we're co-sponsoring a BIG COMEDY SHOW featuring friend and confidant JESSE THOMAS. The show is WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17th at 10pm at RICHMOND FUNNY BONE. We've got tickets at the store, and reservations are a must so DON'T MISS OUT.

Coming at you hot AND fresh from the heart of the Velocity Hive Mind... prepare to have your brain chemistry altered forever by RED HOT NEWS INJECTIONS.

ITEM: On sale now, some of the neatest and best Christmas Ornaments ever made in the history of humans, featuring many of your favorite characters. Hip! At only 2.00 each, you would literally be insane not buy them in bulk.

Hello, all...

Patrick here, filling in for Tom this weekend, as he had to leave town for a wedding! That's right, Mrs. Batten's favorite is now officially spoken for in the eyes of God. Make sure you offer Tom your thoughts, congratulations, and/or condolences. Now let's move on to COMICS!

A huge thanks to everyone who made it out for our two day sale last week...or should that be a huge 'You're Welcome?" If you missed out, don't worry...I'm sure that there is still someone somewhere that could still bring themselves to love you.
AND we're still going to have a few boxes of select items that'll be SUPER DISCOUNTED through the end of next week. We're talking trades and hardcovers at prices you won't be able to procress. These prices are sugar to a diabetic, that's what I'm saying. BUT THEY WON'T KILL YOU or PUT YOU IN A COMA, GUARANTEED.

Hope everyone is having a really special, really fulfilling weekend. I really, really do. No, I mean it. You've worked hard, you deserve a nice break. Hey, you deserve a medal, really. And if I had enough medals, I would make sure that everyone got one. Really.

Man, what a weird couple of weeks on the internets. First, we temporarily lose the ability to e-mail this here newsletter out to you people. Then, as we're fixing that glitch the ding dang website crashes on us. Could it be that Tom's titillating temper tantrums have garnered the attention of more people than our little website could possibly accommodate? I'd like to think so. At any rate, all problems have been addressed and I have a degree of confidence that all avenues to the newsletter are free, clear and lubed up. Grab a sibling and slide on in!
