Batman #0 Blank Cover Release Party – September 12, 2012!

Published by Kevin on September 3rd, 2012 - in Events, Store News

Batman #0 by Greg Capullo and Scott Snyder

Join us on Wednesday September 12, 2012 as we celebrate the release of the Batman #0 Blank Cover which will be available as part of DC’s “We Can Be Heroes” Campaign!

Comic fans everywhere have patiently awaited official blank covers from DC Comics – and now they’re finally here! Batman #0 is the first in a monthly series of Blank Covers.

Blank covers are perfect for getting your favourite comic artist to sketch on. You have an opportunity to get your very own, one-of-a-kind cover sketched on by two of our favourite artists on Wednesday, September 12th: Alex Milne and Adam Gorham!

ALEX MILNE is well known in the comics industry for his amazing work with everyone’s favourite robots – The Transformers. Alex has worked on several Transformers titles for IDW comics such as ‘The Reign of Starscream’, ‘Tales of the Fallen’, ‘Drift’, and most recently he is the artist on the ongoing Transformers comic ‘More than Meets the Eye’. **ALEX WILL BE AT STADIUM FROM 10AM-4pm**

To see some of Alex’s work check out his deviantART page: http://markerguru.deviantart.com/

ADAM GORHAM is the artist of the gritty medieval tale ‘Teuton’, which he produces in conjunction with Fearless Fred Kennedy, now on its second volume. Previously Adam made quite an impression with his graphic novel adaptation of the Canadian indie film ‘The Vampire Conspiracy’. Lately, Adam has impressed people with his exclusive limited print tributes to “The Dark Knight Rises”. **ADAM WILL BE AT STADIUM FROM 4PM-8PM**

Walking Dead #100 Release Party July 11th with Vince Sunico!

Published by Kevin on July 5th, 2012 - in Comic News, Events, Store News

This Wednesday, July 11th sees the release of The Walking Dead #100 with multiple covers. Of course, we felt a need to celebrate the occasion, so we will do it in traditional Stadium Comics style, featuring our guest for the day Vince Sunico and an awesome gallery of Zombie Sketch Covers! (see below).

Did you know that Stadium fan favourite Vince Sunico has worked for Cryptozoic Entertainment as a sketch card artist on their Walking Dead Trading Cards? That makes him the perfect guest for our Walking Dead #100 release party! Here are some examples of his work:

We had such a great time offering up the unique, one-of-a-kind blank cover sketches for our Avengers vs. X-Men and Free Comic Book day events, that we had Vince work on some new, Zombie-themed covers for this event! Since there are no Walking Dead blanks available, we went with a Marvel Zombies theme. Full details of how you can own one of these extremely limited comic books can be found below. Click on the image to see a higher-res version.

Vince Sunico Zombie Sketch Covers

These covers will be available for sale at our store starting at 10:00 am on Wednesday July 11th.

These sketches will be sold on a first come, first served basis; you have to be at the store to pick one up! They will sell for $25 each. Please don’t try to reserve one over the phone or via email. These particular covers will be limited to 1 per customer, although you are more than welcome to get additional custom blank covers sketched on at our event!

Vince will be in-store sketching for fans from 10am-7pm!
Just added – Marvin Law will also be joining us from 10am-7pm!
