Hey Velocipals! I'm happy to lead off with a big, hearty CONGRATULATIONS to IAN and MANDY who got married yesterday. The happy couple actually met here at Velocity Comics many years ago, so you can imagine the incredible debt they owe us. We've already arranged to cash in on that debt: they've pledged to name their firstborn child Velocity Sampson. So look forward to that.
NEW COMICS WILL ARRIVE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK! NEW COMICS WILL ARRIVE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK! NEW COMICS WILL ARRIVE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK!
SECOND: We'll buck convention by remaining OPEN ON MEMORIAL DAY this year. And not only will we be open, we'll be having a BIG SALE. Come in early, because from 10am-12pm EVERYTHING IN THE STORE is going to be 25% off. If you can't make it early, still get here by 3pm, because from 12pm-3pm EVERYTHING will be 20% off. And if you can't make it in by 3pm, go do something else, because we will be closed.
THIRD: ANNOUNCING AN EXCITING NEW POLICY! We've been listening closely to what you, our faithful customer base, has been saying, and now we are ready to act. WE WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWING ANYONE TO HOLD VARIANT COVERS IN THEIR BOXES. Variant covers will now be sold on a strict first-come-first serve basis. While I know some of you may react to this news by going, Oh man, no way, please consider--this is the only way to ensure the fairest possible distribution of rare variant covers. Has there ever been a time in your life when you had to reconsider your actions in order to ensure fairness? If so, send us your story! The winners will be mocked openly in this very newsletter sometime in the future.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW THIS LIST OF BOOKS BEING RELEASED THIS WEEK, AND KEEP IN MIND THAT NEW COMICS WILL BE SHIPPING ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK.
