Free Comic Book Day is coming

I know it’s still a few months away, but I figured I’d send out a reminder so you can mark it on your calendar. Free Comic Book Day is Saturday May 7, 2011 this year. You can find the selection of comics available of the official FCBD web site: http://freecomicbookday.com/

Also, something for the many Green Lantern fans out there:

MAGIC The GATHERING 2011 GAMES DAY

AUGUST 14, 2010 — MAGIC the GATHERING 2011 GAMES DAY

Open to everyone — Comic Readers Downtown Location in Regina

No Entry Fee! Call us: 306-779-0900

Game Days are the first opportunity to play Standard format on a global scale with the cards from Magic 2011!

Game Days are Standard format. The tournament will be Swiss-style, with the top 8 players after the Swiss rounds advancing to the single-elimination finals. In the case of an event with 16 players or less, only the top 4 will advance. Where necessary, the standings after the Swiss rounds will be used to determine final order in the standings.

In the case of an event with exactly 8 players, there will be three Swiss rounds with no single-elimination cut.

All participants receive an exclusive Liliana’s Specter promo card (while supplies last). The top 8 players each receive an exclusive full-art Mitotic Slime promo card. The cards are awarded to the Top 8 players even if the tournament cuts only to the top 4. Two Mitotic Slime promo cards will also be awarded as door prizes at each location.

The winner receives the Magic 2011 Game Day winners certificate, as well as the Magic 2011 Champion title. Selected top 8 decks and all Game Day winners will also be featured on magicthegathering.com.
