VELOCITY COMICS NEWSLETTER 8/30/09

It's Sunday, so it must be time for more Velocity Comics News. Your entire life has been building up to this moment!

FIRST: Our current DRAW contest has been an enormous success. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far. For those of you who have yet to complete and enter a drawing, you better get cracking because the deadline approaches fast. For the last month I've been telling you that the deadline was August 31st. Well, we've magnanimously decided to extend the deadline just a tiny bit to TUESDAY, SEPT 1ST. If you have your entry in by the close of business Tuesday, you'll be just fine. We're gonna start voting WEDNESDAY. There's still time for YOU to WIN.

SECOND: We're fixing to be closed on LABOR DAY. We'll be spending the day quietly meditating in a sweltering closet, how about you?

THIRD: We're having a BIG SALE the SUNDAY BEFORE LABOR DAY. How big a sale? ALL COMICS WILL BE 30% OFF! That's staple bound comics, not trades or hardcovers. Single issues only, excluding new comics from that week. Buy a ton and then spend your Labor Day hiding out inside your house obsessively counting them, over and over again.
