We’re back and well rested from a fun week at Origins up in Columbus. We met some neat people and saw some really fun stuff, so keep an eye out for some new gaming stuff in the shop in the relatively near future. In the meantime, here’s what we’re getting in this week.

Lex Luthor takes center stage in ACTION COMICS, tracking down the Orange Lantern power that he had in Blackest Night. Terry McGinnis gets miniseries of his very own (finally, legions of 90s cartoon fans exclaim!) with this week’s BATMAN BEYOND, the JLA/JSA Brightest Day crossover continues in this week’s JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, the SECRET AVENGERS go to Mars, LOCKE & KEY concludes its third miniseries, WONDER WOMAN celebrates 600 issues and welcomes new writer J. Michael Straczynski and Marvel celebrates the 25th anniversary of the spectacular SPIDER-HAM.

Comics & Items Shipping, June 23rd

There’s never a dull moment around here. This week we’ll be prepping for Origins Game Fair, where we’ll be displaying and showing our wares to the Columbus gaming public, as well as getting a peek at new games to share with you, the Super-Fly faithful. That doesn’t stop the new comics though. Nothing can stop them, really. I, for one, welcome our four color overlords.

The biggest 4-color overlord of them all, SUPERMAN, gets a 700th issue this week kicking off the potentially legendary run by Joe Straczynski. Speaking of new runs, GREEN ARROW gets a fresh start (and a new #1) in a magical forest in the heart of Star City, hoping some of the Brightest Day/Green Lantern magic rubs off on him. The RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE returns again (and returns harder), this time with rope swinging pirate action. I mean, look at him in pirate times. He’s happy as a clam. Don’t tell Bruce didn’t miss his calling. JURASSIC PARK returns for all you clever girls and boys out there, we get our summer fix of FRINGE in comic book form, Marvel reminds you that #1s are old news and now it’s time for AVENGERS #2, POWER GIRL gets a new creative team and yes Jason, we finally find out not just who but why the Red Hulk is in HULK.

For the rest of this week’s goodies, click on through to the other side…

Super-Fly Games: It’s True

If you are well versed in our place of business, you know that we deal in comics and games. It’s in our name, after all. But maybe you didn’t know that we sell video games. Sure, we’ve got used games, but we do get new games as well from time to time. It’s true. You don’t have to brave the horror that is the GameStop employee trying to sell you the latest Halo or Grand Theft Auto preorder every 30 seconds that you’re in the store. You can come to us. We can check our handy list of pre-book dates (Pre-book dates are the last day you can pre-order the game before it gets released) and get you all set to get your game of choice the day of release. Maybe next day of release. You know how the game industry is sometimes with release dates. We do Pre-Booking for all current gaming systems and handhelds, so whatever system you have, we’ve got you covered.

The Super-Fly Games column will be our insights and thoughts about games we’ve been playing. Our hope is that this helps you check out some cool games and proceed to buy them from us.


God of War 3 (PS3)

You likely already know about this game, seeing that it’s one of Sony’s marquee games that they had been talking about it forever. But, I decided to write about it anyway because I’m playing through it again and it’s so insanely good. Without retreading the story, Kratos is still alittle angry and wants revenge on the Gods. And to say this is an epic game is maybe understating it alittle. The first boss battle starts five minutes into the game and doesn’t let up. If huge boss battles are you’re cup of tea, this is the game you need to be playing. Hack and slash games may not be up your alley, but with a careful sprinkling of puzzles (none too insane this time around) and some platforming, GoW3 has something for everyone. If you are of the right age. GoW3 is very, VERY graphically violent at times and also does have frontal nudity, so make sure the kids are in bed or far away from the TV when you play. Remember that we don’t sell M-Rated games to minors, like all responsible store owners should.

If you are still not convinced, Check out the first boss battle and see for yourself.

The Super-Fly Games column will be our insights and thoughts about games we’ve been playing. Our hope is that this helps you check out some cool games and proceed to buy them from us. God of War 3 is currently $59.99 MSRP and is available only on the Playstation 3. Stop in and talk to us about picking up this amazing game.
