Superman Unchained #1 coming 06/12/2013!

Superman Unchained #1 coming 06/12/2013!

Stadium Comics has declared Wednesday June 12th 2013 to be MAN OF STEEL DAY to celebrate one of the biggest days in comic book history with the release of Superman Unchained #1 by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee, the perfect kickoff to the week that will bring us the release of Man of Steel, in theaters on June 14th!

Has there been a comic in the last couple of years that has been more heavily anticipated than this one? Has there been a movie more heavily anticipated than Man of Steel? This is an event you’re not going to want to miss!

To celebrate the movie and the new comic, Warner Brothers and DC Comics have provided us with some amazing giveaways. First up we have FREE copies of issue #1 of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s iconic All Star Superman comic, one of the greatest Superman stories ever told! These free issues are available with no strings attached.

We also have a very LIMITED number of Man of Steel mini-posters provided to us by Warner Brothers that will be available on a first come, first serve basis with the purchase of Superman Unchained #1. Get here early if you want one!

And to further celebrate the day, we’re going to have DC Trade Paperbacks and Hardcovers available at 25% off the regular price!

Also joining us to sketch for the day will be comic book artist Adam Gorham, who also has a Stadium Comics Exclusive cover for Aspen’s Bubblegun #1 coming out on the same day! He’ll be signing copies of Bubblegun #1, and is the perfect person to get a Superman sketch from! Click here to get all the info on Bubblegun #1.

Get a great start to this most SUPER of weeks right here at Stadium Comics, on Wednesday June 12th!

About Superman Unchained #1:
When thirteen satellites fall from the sky in one day, the logical suspect is Lex Luthor-even though he’s still locked up in prison! But a stranger question remains: If Superman didn’t stop the last satellite from falling, who did? There’s an mystery hidden where even Superman can’t see it-Can The Man of Steel drag a decades-old secret into the light? Don’t miss the debut of this red-hot new series from two of comics’ brightest superstars: SCOTT SNYDER and JIM LEE!

Announcing our new store and Free Graphic Novel Day!

Published by Kevin on May 24th, 2013 - in Events, News, Store News

We are so very pleased to officially announce the opening of our brand new, second Brampton location on Saturday June 29th 2013! And what better way to celebrate the opening of a new store, than with an event like FREE GRAPHIC NOVEL DAY!

Stadium Comics’ second location – our “Sidekick” location as we like to call it – will have some pretty cool things going on that you’ll definitely want to check out:

BACK ISSUES
Lots of people have asked where the back issues have gone from our store at Shoppers World. They’ve moved to their permanent home at our Sidekick location! This includes “bargain bin” comics. The most recent back issues (6 months to 1 year) will still be found at our Shoppers World store.

GRAPHIC NOVELS
Do you like the discount graphic novels we’ve been carrying at our store? Well you’ll be able to find more of them at our Sidekick store!

EVENT SPACE
This is what has us the most excited! Our new store will feature a large event room, allowing us to do the things we couldn’t do at our current mall location! We’ll be hosting events like tournaments, board game nights, midnight book launches, comic jams, workshops, movie nights, gallery events, and so much more! We’ll be releasing an event calendar closer to our grand opening. It’s basically going to be Jay Gatsby’s house, but nerdier.

LOCATION
Our new store will be located at 2 Bram Court, which is in the Rutherford Rd/Steeles Avenue area of Brampton. It’s a location convenient for public transit, and is a short walk to the Grande movie theater, Lowes, and a brand new WalMart that will be opening in the near future.

FREE GIMG_3022RAPHIC NOVEL DAY
To celebrate the grand opening of our new store in grand style, we figured a free comic book just wouldn’t do! Come to our new location on Saturday June 29th 2013, and receive a FREE graphic novel for making ANY purchase that day. The item you buy can be as cheap as that $1 back issue in our bargain bin (though we’ll gladly help you spend more with the awesome sales we’ll be having!)

We’ll have a selection of 5-10 different graphic novel titles for you to choose from. We’ll have a good quantity of them on hand to give away, but you’ll want to come early for the best selection!

Also what would an event at Stadium be without some awesome comic artist signings, and a huge sale? We’ll have both of those happening as well on Saturday June 29th. Keep watching our website and Facebook and Twitter pages for more details coming soon.

Do you like what you’re hearing so far? So do we! Mark June 29th on your calendars now – we hope to see you all there! In the meantime, if you want to get a sneak peek at what our new place looks like so far (there’s still lots of work to do), you can watch our latest Unboxing Wednesdays video which was filmed on location!
