FNM Standard -   
Start Time 6:30; 
Entry Fee $2; 
Swiss Rounds; 
Prizes consist of 3 booster packs for every four entrants, distributed 30%-20%-20%-10%-5%-5%-5%-5% to the Top 8 finishers, rounded down to a minimum of one, with remainders going to the top two players. (e.g., 30 players = 23 booster packs = 7/5/4/3/1/1/1/1 booster pack prizes to the Top 8).  FNM foils distributed to the Top 2 players automatically.

FNM Drafts -  
Start Time approx. 8:30 (after two rounds of Standard); 
Entry Fee $10; 
Keep What You Draft; 
Swiss Rounds;
Latest Draft Format (e.g., currently M13); 
Prizes consist of 3/2/1/1 booster pack prizes (based on 8 players) to the Top 3 and FNM foils distributed to the Top 2 players automatically.

Other prizes, like foil door prizes and other handouts, including Intro packs and Battle Packs, will be distributed as before, with a door prize pool equal to about half the number of entrants!  Based on our average 30-man FNM attendance (you can see the  expected prize distribution above), I think this is an exceptionally exciting change.  Let everyone know about our huge FNMs - the more people who play, the larger the prize pool gets!

New Tp's
The Crow Midnight Legends Dead Time













 Whether the new Crow remake, reboot or whatever is going to be any good remains to be seen.  Until then you can read James O'Barr 's return to The Crow Dead Time, a story he envisioned as new Crow film. A tale of grief, reincarnation, and long-sought vengeance! (Yup-Sounds like the The Crow!)


Judge Dredd Inferno

 Ex-Judge Grice was sent to the penal colony on Titan for attempting to stop democratic reform in Mega-City One. Driven to insanity and aching for revenge on Judge Dredd who he blames for his downfall, Grice and an army of renegade prisoners have taken control and are preparing to unleash hell on the ‘Big Meg’ with the help of a deadly virus!

Scalped Knuckle Up

 Fifteen years ago, Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from a life of poverty and hopelessness on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservationin search of something better. Now he's come back home armed with nothing but a set of nunchucks, a hell-bent-for leather attitude and one dark secret, to find nothing much has changed on "The Rez"

Kiss Greatest Hits Vol 1












With this collection you'll want to Rock n' Roll all night and read this TP everyday.  For the first time ever, both classic Marvel Super Specials are collected in one in trade paperback, with story and art from Stan Lee, John Buscema, John Romita Jr., and more!

Wiz-War

Wizards wage no-spells-barred magical duels deep in an underground labyrinth. This classic board game of magical mayhem for 2-4 players, created by Tom Jolly in 1983, pits players' wizards against each other in a stupendous struggle for magical mastery.

NEW AT LA MOOD COMICS AND GAMES!

First off a reminder that London game publisher WIGGLES THREE D will be in the store tomorrow saturday July 21st doing demos of some of their new games. These games are are great for the whole family and wonderfully designed so you don't want to miss out on this special event. Make sure to stop on by and check it out!

New Statues!

Juggernaut! This 14 " tall beauty features the mighty Juggernaut holding the red ruby crystal of cyttorak.  This large statue could be capable of inflicting as much damage as the Juggernaut himself-but you'll probably want to be careful with it because it's design is so sweet!

Spiderman in action statue!

 You watched Spider-man in 3D now have him in 3D in your house!! Bowen Designs brings to life Spider-Man in a dynamic sculpt that shows Spider-Man leaping from a ruined wall, with the artifacts of many of his enemies at its base.  Standing 15″ tall, this statue by Randy Bowen is certain to be a cherished part of any Spider-fan’s collection!

New Games!
 We finally have the board game Descent: Journey's in the Dark in the store! After our smash hit game demo day with an actual Wizard in the store (Yes, you read that right) word is Descent is far from decent-It's great!!

New Toys
The Dark Knight Mr. Potato Head










The Dark Knight Rises...as he slowly bakes in the oven. This fun item goes great with sour cream and chives and would look great on your desk!

New T-Shirts!

We have a whole bunch of cool Game of Thrones T-Shirts in at the store with various designs. If you're a fan swing by and check them out before your size is gone because Game of Thrones merch goes fast!



New Chopsticks!

Be the weirdest guy in the restaurant with our new Alien chopsticks which come in Facehugger, Chestburster, and "hibernating Alien dude". Personally I think the chestburster one would look really great poking through a chicken ball. Get the sauce spilling all over the place and it will be just like the scene in the movie!


New comics!
The Amazing Spider-man Ends of the Earth Hardcover

The recent critically acclaimed story arc is available in hard cover now and is is a must for Spidey fans. "Ends of the Earth has been epic! One of the best Spider-man stories I've ever read.."  - InsidePulse.com

New Comics!
HC Lock & Key Clockworks













The black door is open, and it's up to a 16-year-old smith named Ben Locke to find a way to close it. Personally I'd just use the lock and key.

HC Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days















Collects some of the accomplished author's earliest work including a picture of a two headed tiger with 6 tails his mother used to keep on the fridge. Okay NOT THAT EARLY but what is included is never-before-reprinted and original publications and entertaining tales featuring the Golden Age Sandman, Morpheus, the Swamp Thing, and John Constantine.

 HC The Score Darwyn Cooke

Fresh from his Eisner Award-winning efforts on The Hunter and The Outfit, Darwyn Cooke now sets his steely sights on The Score, the classic Richard Stark Parker novel from 1964.


HC Uncle Scrooge "Only a Poor Old Man"















Classic "Duck Tales" from the vintage age of Disney are reprinted in this beautiful hard cover book..You know what-Buy a thousand of them. Then fill up an entire vault with them and dive into them..just watch the corners.
