Munchkin Quest - The Munchkin Boardgame - Pre Orders Now Being Taken

We are now taking Pre-Orders for Munchkin Quest £29.99

The first Munchkin Boardgame, will be available from August 2008.
Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now MUNCHKIN QUEST bring the action to the gameboard.

Co-operate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it....then another room is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends. Reach Level 10 and then get out alive if you can!

Designed by Steve Jackson, and illustrated by John Kovalic, this boardgame doesn't take itself seriously. Except for the loot-munchkins are always serious about that.

Munchkin Quest is a stand alone board game. It is not compatible with the various Munchkin card games.

All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder (1) HC £16.99

One of the most talked-about Batman stories ever — conceived by modern master Frank Miller (BATMAN: YEAR ONE, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS) and artists extraordinaire Jim Lee and Scott Williams (BATMAN, SUPERMAN) — is collected in hardcover for the first time! Lee and Miller join forces to tell a new version of Dick Grayson's origin in a high-octane tale that unfolds with guest appearances by Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Black Canary, and more! This volume collects issues #1-9 of the acclaimed series.

Comic of the Week: Madame Xanadu

Comic of the Week: Madame Xanadu £2.00

Legendary creator Matt Wagner (MAGE, GRENDEL, SUPERMAN/BATMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY) and rising star artist Amy Reeder Hadley present Vertigo's newest ongoing fantasy epic. Centuries long and around the globe her tale winds before the ageless fortuneteller arrives in modern era New York. Her powers of sight can change the course of human events, but how does the seer see herself? Wagner and Hadley answer with painstakingly elegant story and breathtakingly innovative art that is sure to make Madame Xanadu a classic
