Horsemen of the Apocalypse continues the Book of the Damned series by taking a detailed look at the daemons – ushers of catastrophe and harbingers of disaster. Personifying the worst ways a person can die, daemons constitute the third arm of major fiendish races, hailing from the nightmare realm of Abaddon, where they are led by four legendary figures – the so-called Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Black Friday Sale & Thanksgiving Hours

Our fourth annual Black Friday sale is coming on Friday, November 25th. Come kick off your holiday shopping and earn bonus gift certificates!

From the time we open (10 AM) until the time we close (10 PM) on Friday, November 25th, any purchase you make will also earn you bonus holiday gift certificates. For every $25 you spend, you’ll get $5 on a gift certificate, and you can break those up into individual $5 gift certificates, one big gift certificate with the whole amount or any other combination you choose. So for example, if you spend $100, you’ll get $20 in our special holiday gift certificates.

This year, while supplies last, any purchase of Magic: The Gathering cards will get a bonus limited edition card from our stockpile of Friday Night Magic and other event leftovers.

So come on in and get a little extra bang for your holiday-shopping buck. Or pick up something for yourself and get some bonus money to give away as gifts. But make sure and stop in for this one-day event!

Boring Rules Stuff:
Just like our regular gift certificates, these have no expiration date, and can be used for anything in the store. We’ll be using these throughout the holiday season. They cannot be used on the day of purchase, but can be used as early as Saturday, November 26th.

The amount used to calculate bonus gift certificates is the pre-tax value of merchandise (within reason – a $24.99 or $24.95 item will get you the $5 gift certificate). $5 is given for each full $25, not a fraction thereof.

We will be closed on Thursday, November 24th for Thanksgiving. In addition, we will not be holding D&D Encounters on Thanksgiving week. There are no comic shipping delays related to Thanksgiving.
