Reading with Rogues – August
Our bimonthly graphic novel club will meet in August to talk about antiheroes and complicated characters, epitomized by our two selections, Watchmen (in July) and Suicide Squad: Trial by Fire (in August)
Every second Tuesday of alternate months, we’ll hold our graphic novel reading club! The next meeting is on Tuesday, August 9th, starting at 6:30 PM and running until we run out of stuff to talk about (or 9 PM, when the store closes). Folks can come and go as they please, and we should have plenty of room.
We’ll talk about our graphic novel selections for the past two months, as well as whatever other comics and related pop culture we deviate into! Got a favorite graphic novel you’ve read and want to talk about? Bring it with you!
The managers of Rogues Gallery will be on hand to talk about comics and hopefully get everybody chatting… we’re hoping to extend the vibe of our New Comics Wednesdays to everyone who maybe doesn’t get a chance to talk comics with their regular group of friends, or just can’t get enough comics talk.
Every month, we do a monthly “Reading with Rogues” selection, and that graphic novel is 15% discount off for that month. if you’ve got a Rogue Card, it’s 25% off!
We’d love for folks to RSVP on the Facebook event page just so we can have a rough headcount, but walk-ins are absolutely welcome. And while we’ll focus the discussions around the graphic novel of the month, we’ll almost certainly be talking about other comics and graphic novels.
We look forward to talking comics with you!

Magic the Gathering Prerelease on Sunday, July 17th!
FIRST ROUND BEGINS AT NOON – SECOND ROUND BEGINS AT 4:00 – PRE-REGISTRATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Rogues Gallery will be holding two prerelease events for Magic: The Gathering’s new set, Eldritch Moon, on Sunday, July 17th! We recommend that you call or email ahead to preregister, because we have limited space and tend to fill up well before the day of the event itself. We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 4:00 PM. If space allows, we are happy to allow players to play in both prerelease tournaments… players will have to buy-in to both tournaments, you cannot carry over cards or decks from the first prerelease into the second. In addition, of late we’ve had folks sign up and not show up, so if you don’t get in on your preferred time, you are welcome to sign up as an alternate or to come in on the day and try to get available spaces.
Registration will begin at noon on July 17th. We’ll begin the first event at 12:30 with 30 minutes to construct your decks, and the pre-release will run 3 rounds from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM or so. Please note that if you are preregistered, you must arrive by 12:15 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
The second tournament will begin registration at 4:00, and the tournament will start as close to 4 PM as we can manage, with 30 minutes to construct your decks. Please note for those preregistered, you must arrive by 4:00 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
Prerelease packs will be $25.99 plus tax. You must buy a pack for each tournament you enter.
We will allow walk-ins for both tournaments if the space is not filled, but we encourage preregistration, as we generally fill up fairly quickly. In addition, because there are two events, and because the second event may run later than our usual closing time, we won’t be able to offer trading or casual place space after the tournaments end.
Prize support will be in the form of Eldritch Moon boosters. We award boosters for each round you win. The remainder are divided up into first, second and third prizes.
In addition to the main prerelease tournament events, if space allows, we will offer open dueling, allowing any player who wants to play to purchase Eldritch Moon Intro Packs to play against each other, as well as prerelease tournament players who are between matches.
