Captain America assassinated in issue #25! and yes we're sold out, so don't ask! It hit the papers, the news; it was the number one request by phone this week (then comes Buffy #1, also just sold out). So do you care that Cap is dead?
Here's London Free Press' Dan Brown's take on the demise of Captain America. You can read it here.
Please feel free to let us know what you think about Captain America, Civil War or the direction Marvel comics is going in the comments.

Civil War is Over, But what did it Accomplish?
After reading both Civil War #7 (and many reviews of it) and Civil War Frontline #11, like most people I left with something less than a great feeling. For all their talk of starting a brand period in the Marvel universe, I can't help but think that all they did was just setup the next set of crossover books (see House of M and it's follow up titles Decimation for example). I don't feel excited at the new bunch of titles or this new status quo. If anything I felt they have damaged their characters more than anything, in Captain America (who they've effectively neutered), Iron Man (whose has become the greatest jackass in the MU and for being a poster boy for the ends justify the means) and Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Woman (for them just being horribly written out of character and for whose actions are just stupid). I also love the fact how populace of the MU is split on the registration act to start with but somewhere between Civil War Frontline #10 & 11 & Civil war #7, became united behind it. or that NOW all of a sudden they have become concerned about the collateral damage from superpower battles. Same with Speedball whose feelings and opinions changed magically as well between Frontline #9 & 10.
And that is probably the worst criticism of both series is that too much happens to these characters that we are not seeing, and while the editors at try to justify the character actions on internet websites. Maybe they should made sure that it came across in the reading experience itself.
In the end even thought Civil War was huge financial win fall for Marvel, when read with anything of a critical perspective, it's pretty much a mindless action flick with characters lurching wildly around with no real purpose.
For something a little more the fun side I give you
Civil War in 30 Seconds!! enjoy

Release Party!
Join us at the store on Saturday, February 3, 2007 between 1PM and 4:30 PM, to celebrate the release of D.S. Barrick's Skulsi Thatcher, his new, hand-bound hardcover collection of comic strips! Did I say hand-bound hardcover? Yes indeed! Daniel told me he's sewing/gluing this book together by hand! Guaranteed to be a work of art!
Here at L.A. Mood's we've known Daniel, since he was a talented artist in highschool. He showed much promise with his first self-published comic book The Day I Wrote Watermelon. There were more people down for his title on our membership list than some DC titles at the time, including easily recognized icons such as Wonder Woman and Aquaman! Unfortunately, for his following, Daniel's pursuit of a university degree in the Arts interfered with publishing a regular small press comic. He still is at school, working hard to become a highschool teacher of Art and English, but his efforts in university are paying off for us fans, with a creation of new characters, Skulsi Thatcher and her friends. This esoteric collection of strips, follows Skulsi and her friends around as they make unimportant observations of life. I asked Daniel how he would describe his comic and he replied, "Stealing from Seinfeld, it is a comic about nothing."
Well, I call it art! Daniel will be available between 1 and 4:30 PM, Saturday, February 3rd at the store to sign copies of his book, he might even be persuaded to make a free sketch or two! See you there!

Horroclix AVP Queen Info
Hey there LA Mood Horrorclix Customers, thought I'd give you guys the heads up on the AVP Queen coming in late Feb. The following information is cut & pasted from the Wizkids forums, posted by Horrorclix & Heroclix brand manager Mark Tuttle
"The Alien Queen herself sits on the 3" "titan" base. That's the same one that we used for the HeroClix Sentinel dial. The egg sac sits on the colossal dial that Cthulhu used. As for the size of the queen, she is in scale with the Alien and Predator figures. Consider that if an Alien is 8-9' tall, the Queen is 14'. "
The HorrorClix: AVP Alien Queen contains three (3) figures:
1 - Alien Queen with egg sac diorama
1 - Alien
1 - Predator
Rules, tokens, map
Pre-order now to insure you get yours
