VELOCITY COMICS NEWS 7/19/09

Can you believe that San Diego Comicon International begins in just four days? WHAT amazing news will be announced! WHO will be the first person to complain that the show isn't as good as it used to be? I'm sure we'll all be stuck to the internet all week, clicking refresh over and over and pausing only to sip from a special protein slurry designed to keep our bodies from shutting down due to extreme disuse, but lets make sure that we all take the time at least once a day to think about those less fortunate that we are. And by that I mean people who suffer from agoraphobia.

BAR FIGHT: The entries have started to arrive, and a mighty bunch they are. And yet there is still time to come up with something that blows away the competition and wins the big prize of free comics. Grasp for that silver ring, kids. Draw a bar fight.

Make sure you get your picks for on the new cheat sheet to us by the end of the week. You can do this by either checking out the list available on the website or coming into the store and rudely screaming your choices at whoever is working. Whichever method works for you, make sure you don't miss this chance to ensure that you get all the comics you want.
