Make your wishes come true at the Emerald City!

Mark Millar, writer of Kick-Ass, and phenomenal artist Goran Parlov have created a new comic book series called STARLIGHT that’s sorta like if an aging Flash Gordon who had returned to Earth gets called back to the planet Mongo for one more adventure! It looks gorgeous and it’s got heart, so we’re already excited for the next issue!

It’s a MillarWorld kinda week, since Millar and the one and only Frank Quitely have released JUPITER’S LEGACY #4 this week, too! Joy!

If you’re as big a fan as we are of Greg Rucka’s Lazarus, you’ll want to check out his new comic book VEIL this week! Rucka is so good at pulling you in with great characterization and mystery and suspense, and this story is a wonderful question mark! Read it now, and thank us later….

“In 1976, as the specter of nuclear war loomed worldwide, the UN Security Council introduced Resolution 501.

When Chinese terrorists struck down the US Table Tennis Team in 1979, a rag-tag band of students was forced to play in their stead. Lead by rivals Johnathan Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, they were victorious – but not unharmed. Now, in 1984, the Russian Bear has begun to stir. In times like these, America needs men whose grip is sure. Men who play the entire table.”
Penny Arcade: Paint The Line ECG: Red Tide, an expandable card game, features fast and furious tabletop tennis battles. Each set comes with everything you need to play and you can use up to four sets to customize your deck and use your awesome ping-pong skills to battle for your country!

12 REALMS
Siegfried, Snow White, D’Artagnan, Red Riding Hood, and the other heroes of the twelve realms are being reunited for one last great adventure. The Dark Lords have joined forces to completely conquer and subjugate all the known Lands, and only the combined efforts of all the greatest heroes can halt their nefarious plan.
12 Realms is a fast, lighthearted cooperative miniature game for 1 to 6 players. All players must band together to stop the Dark Lords’ overwhelming hordes from pillaging the 12 Realms. Individual invaders can be defeated by using each hero’s different talents, but to vanquish the Dark Lords you must claim a powerful artifact.
In their quest to stop the invasion, the heroes can travel together between different lands, or they can try to single-handedly defend a Realm. Each of the 12 Realms is an individual land, with different treasures and events, and populated by unique creatures.

ADVENTURE TIME: CARD WARS – FINN VS. JAKE
Adventure Time: Card Wars is the most epic card game ever found in the Land of Ooo, or anywhere for that matter! In the Adventure Time episode “Card Wars”, Jake begs Finn to play his favorite trading card game. Finn accepts, despite warnings from Beemo on how very competitive Jake can be while playing the game. Finn and Jake battle against each other to decide who will be the Dweeb and who will be the Cool Guy.
Now fans can play the actual Card Wars game in Adventure Time: Card Wars – Finn vs. Jake, with all of the action taking place in four combat lanes. Jake’s corn-themed deck features creatures from the episode such as the powerful Husker Knights, the intimidating Legion of Earlings, the heroic Archer Dan and many more! Finn’s “Blue Plains” deck features creatures from the episode such as the wise Ancient Scholar, the aptly named Cool Dog, and the most fearsome critter of all – The Pig!
Each turn, a player has two Action Points to spend on Creatures, Spells, and Locations, and cards cost between 0 and 2 Action Points to play. When you summon a Creature, you choose which lane you want to place it in; some Creatures have FLOOP abilities that allow you to use their special abilities. When you attack with a Creature down a lane, you might find an opposing Creature, or you might get to deal your damage straight to your opponent’s Hit Points. Reduce your opponent’s Hit Points from 25 to 0 and you’re the Cool Guy (and you win the game)!
Each Card Wars starter set has a pair of different forty-card decks and is ready to play right out of the box. Mix the decks together to come up with your own righteous combos!

The Soviets have opened the Red Room, releasing their most dangerous operative — The Winter Soldier, who unbeknownst to the world, is the presumed-dead partner of Captain America-Bucky Barnes! The brainwashed soldier’s mission: to acquire the scientists by any means or to kill them should they fall into American hands. This classic 60′s style, high-octane, spy pulp told at Cold War’s peak follows Ran Shen and his terrified scientists as they creep out of the shadow of East Berlin. Intrigue, adventure, romance and murder abound with ramifications that will shatter relationships in the modern-day Marvel Universe-including one with the Star Spangled Avenger himself!

BOJEFFRIES SAGA GN (MR)
TOP SHELF PRODUCTIONS
(W) Alan Moore (A/CA) Steve Parkhouse
Jobremus Bojeffries is like any other father – trying to keep the peace in a house stuffed with two kids (Ginda and Reth), uncles Raoul and Festus, a baby and old Grandpa Podlasp. Never mind that one’s a werewolf, one’s a vampire, Grandpa is in the last stages of organic matter, and the baby puts off enough thermonuclear energy to power England and Wales. All right, they’re no ordinary family. And this is no ordinary book, with stories spanning decades, a whole chapter written as light opera, a Christmas episode, and an all-new 24-page comic bringing the Bojeffries up to the present day. On every page, the wry and anarchic creativity of the creators shines through: Alan Moore’s affectionate and penetrating grasp of human nature (and British culture) creates a kind of desperate poignancy in the characters, brought to memorable life by Steve Parkhouse’s deft and articulate line work. It’s all there, untutored, unpolished, ramshackle and always on the edge of collapse.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE BATTLE FOR MIDDLE-EARTH CARD GAME
The players battle on the side of Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, and other companions against the foes of Mordor.
Three enemy cards always lie on the table in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth Card Game. Each enemy card shows a combination of one (e.g. Orc patrol) to four (e.g. Balrog) symbols, with six different symbols total in the game: sword, axe, spear, bow, fist, and shield. In order to beat the enemies, the players collect groups of companion cards (which also show symbols) in front of them. Once the symbols of a group match one or more enemy cards, the player can send this group to battle to win enemy cards. The group is then discarded.
On his turn a player can either:
Play one companion card to one of his groups and, if possible, attack.
Start a new group and, if possible, attack.
Draft one card to his hand. If he drafts a Mordor card, it is placed on the table and he drafts another card. When the third Mordor card hits the table, the players suffer a counterattack and all lose a card from their hand, a card from one of their groups, or an already vanquished enemy, depending on the text of the Mordor card.
When no enemies remain, the game ends. Each enemy card is worth 1-10 victory points, and the player with the most points wins.

ORIGIN
Starting from the heart of Africa, players in Origin will determine the course of mankind’s expansion on our planet, with the tribes gradually growing more diversified over time while still maintaining links to their ancestors and to all inhabitants of Earth.
The game tokens in Origin come in three colors, three heights, and three thicknesses, and at the start of the game one of the smallest, skinniest pieces is placed in the center of Africa. In addition, you place three technology tiles at random on the tan, orange and violet sections of the tech chart and six random tiles on the brown section; the tech tiles show 1-5 arrows. You also shuffle tan, orange and violet decks of cards and place them in the appropriate places. Tan cards provide an one-shot effect, orange cards give you a permanent power, and violet cards present you with an objective you must meet; if you do so, you can play the objective card on your turn, and immediately draw another. You can play at most one card of each color each turn.
On a turn, a player takes one of three actions:
Place a new piece on a region of the game board, with this piece sharing two of the three characteristics of a piece in a neighboring region; the new piece cannot be shorter than the original piece. Mark this piece with a token of your player color.
Move one of your pieces on the board to an empty region, with short pieces moving only one space, medium height pieces moving up to two spaces, and tall pieces up to three.
Take over a region controlled by an opponent by moving one of your pieces into this region and relocating the opponent’s piece to the region your piece left. You can do this only if the attacking piece is thicker than the opponent’s piece.
When you place a new piece on the board or move an existing piece, you’re rewarded based on the color of the space you occupy. If you place in or move into a tan, orange or violet region, either you take a tile and the top card of this color or you draw three cards of this color and keep one of them. For a brown region, you either draw two tiles from the brown section of the tech board or draw one tile from anywhere. The technology tiles must be acquired from low to high – so you can’t acquire a 4 unless you have a 3 – but you can have multiple tech stacks. You must meet a certain technology threshold in order to play the orange cards and acquire their special power.
In addition, you can score points during the game by occupying a grassland on a continent or the two regions on opposite sides of a waterway strait.
Players take turns until either all of the pieces are on the game board or all the tiles have been acquired or all the cards of one color have been drawn. Once this happens, players tally their points for objectives, grasslands, straits, tech tiles, and cards still in hand to see who wins!

DRAGON’S HOARD
In Dragon’s Hoard, each player plays a dragon hunting for treasure. Collect sheep from the farmer’s fields and use them to buy treasures, but watch out! Other players will send angry mobs and wizards your way to stop you. Defend yourself and battle your way to riches. At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points from treasures and bonuses wins the game.
Game Play:
Players draft cards from a common draw pile before taking their actions. You want to buy as many treasures as you can. Dragon’s buy treasures with sheep they have collected. Other players will play terrible actions against you. Battle to keep your treasure, while you try to stop your opponents from doing the same.
The Goal:
Collect treasures that will give you the most bonus points from your lairs. The player with the most points wins the game.

MAI-STAR
A card game about Japanese geisha by Seiji Kanai.
Players take the roles of various geisha, and compete with the other players to win the legendary title of “Mai-Star”. Use the characters surrounding you to increase your popularity, and earn money by attracting guests, the more demanding the better. Focusing only on increasing your popularity won’t earn you any money, yet failing to spread your name won’t make the rich or helpful guests come your way.
It’s a matter of deciding which characters (cards) will help you increase your popularity and which character cards you want to attract as guests.
Once a player runs out of cards, the round is over, and all cards remaining in your hand become minus points, thus depleting your hand of cards quickly is important. Only the one who has attracted the richest guests (earned the most money) after three festival nights (rounds) will be the one who deserves to carry the title of “Mai-Star”.

SNAKE OIL
In the Old West, the wily snake oil salesman had a special talent, getting the most skeptical customers to buy the most dubious products. Now it’s your turn! Invent your own zany two-word products – Rumor Mirror! Burp Balloon! – and sell them to all types of wacky customers. If the round’s customer buys your product, you win!
To set up Snake Oil, each player takes six purple word cards. The customer for the round draws a red customer card and announces it. Inventors quickly combine two purple word cards from their hand to form a crazy new product to sell to that customer. When ready, they put their two word cards face down on the table. In clockwise order, each inventor quickly pitches his or her product directly to the customer. The customer can end any pitch that goes longer than thirty seconds. The customer decides which product to buy and gives the inventor of that product the round’s customer card as the prize. Inventors discard all used word cards and take two new word cards each. The player to the left of the customer becomes the next round’s customer. Play repeats until each player has been the customer once.
Whoever collects the most customer cards wins.

The pantheon of Theros is complete! Xenagos has become the god of revelry. Yet far from bringing peace to the god-realm of Nyx, the satyr’s ascension to godhood has only flung it into chaos, and the ripples are being felt across the mortal realm.

BOSS MONSTER: TOOLS OF HERO-KIND EXPANSION
Tools of Hero-Kind is a 25-card mini-expansion for Boss Monster: Master of the Dungeon.
With the introduction of Item cards, Tools of Hero-Kind will transform the adventurers exploring your dungeon. They’ll go from being a resource that you harvest into an undeniable threat. Magical weapons, armor, items and scrolls will attach themselves to Heroes as they come into town and confer their “Power-Up” abilities. Of course, with bigger risks come bigger rewards. Should you manage to defeat a hero carrying an Item, you’ll be able to use the one-time “Reward” effect of that item to further your own nefarious goals.
