VELOCITY COMICS NEWSLETTER 12/14/08

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.

THIS WEEK IN BRICK WEEKLY: http://www.brickweekly.com/index.php/booksprint/article/comics_fight_or_...

CHEATERS WELCOME: New Cheat Sheets are sitting here, waiting for you to come fill one out. SO DO THAT.

DRAW! This time around we're doing the DRAW contest a little different. Instead of having an open vote, we have a team of highly trained celebrity judges coming in to choose the big winner. That'll be later this week, meanwhile there's still just a little more time for you to get those last minute entries on the wall. SO DO THAT, TOO.
