ROBOCOP DOUBLE IN-SEASON PASS GIVEAWAY!


In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America.  Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it.  When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer.  OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine. Also starring Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jay Baruchel and Abbie Cornish.

Thanks to those wonderful folks from Sony Pictures and Robocop in cinemas February 6, we have 3 double in-season passes to give away.

To go into the draw for your chance to win all you need to do is tell us, "the original Robocop, well loved and considered a classic by many and was seen for the first time by a lot of us long before the recommended  viewing age rating. How old were you when you first saw the original Robocop and what was your favourite memory of it?"

Terms and Conditions:
All entries will go into the All Star Barrel and winners will be drawn at random.
Entries close 6pm Tuesday 4th of February and winners will be announced Wednesday the 5th. Passes will only be available to pick up from the store and winner must produce photo ID upon pick up. Passes MUST be picked up no later than a week after the draw. Any remaining passes after this date will be given away at our discretion to make sure they don't go to waste. 


A huge thanks again to Sony Pictures and Robocop Only at the Movies! February 6, 2014

New Comics For Wednesday January 15th


Second shipment of the year and it feels that we are easing into this week a little more than the last...thankfully!

Finally after years of being out of print and then Marvel just holding onto the title, MIRACLEMAN #1 is back on the shelves! Image sleeper hit I LOVE TROUBLE TP is out. JMS and Templesmith hit TEN GRAND TP VOL 01 gives us a little heaven and hell tale. BLACK DYNAMITE #1 in comic form?!?! Aaron's sweet THOR GOD OF THUNDER story has it's first trade released. Oh and it might be a little early in the year but SEX CRIMINALS #1 4TH PTG could be cover of the year! It's extremely limited stock so don't mess around if you are after one.

Nice and simple. Anything extra you'll be needing just let us know. :D

ALL STAR LEGENDS Presents : ASTONISHING X-MEN VOL 1: GIFTED



Start for a new year and we thought why not do it in style! This month's LEGEND is one that's been hard not to pick earlier. Joss Whedon and John Cassaday, Astonishing X-men and as an added treat, this Legends write up is brought to you by good friend and staunch All Star supporter, Mister Robert Jeffs.

Running off Grant Morrison's run on the New X-men title, "Gifted" picks up a number of months (or years, it doesn't say, so I’m going to go with months. ok?) later, where as evidenced by the opening pages Kitty Pride returns to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Without giving anything away, we find the school trying to rebuild after the fallout from previous events (which occurred in Grant Morrison's run, in the words of Mitch "Can't say too much"), coupled with the centrepiece of a cure to the mutant virus (is it true or is it not?).


Having Joss Whedon, writer/director/loveable redhead best known for being the brains behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series and The Avengers movie writing the series seems like the greatest idea ever in comics. Whedon brings his Midas touch to the Astonishing X-men title, along with his (what I affectionately dubbed) Whedon Wit, yet also brings some levity to a fairly heavy story. Complementary to Whedon’s storyline is the art of John Cassaday, of Planetary fame, who continues his run eye catching skills on this run.




Don’t be fooled by the cover folks!  Which really is likened to that of my first girlfriend, she wasn’t much to look at but really, as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover (Hi Fleur!). Being a long absent X-men reader, this book was similar to being knocked on the head walking down Chapel Street of a Saturday night, and waking up in a strange room, so many questions, SO MANY questions, but once you have got into the book you are quickly able to drop-in on what’s happening, collect your clothes and call Mitch for a lift home… thanks Mitch.



Overall, a great read for any Whedon, Cassaday or X-men fans and deservedly the All Star Comics LEGEND for January 2014. 



Bon Apetit,

Bob Jeffs


Wow, thanks Bob. So...

As always, the ALL STAR LEGEND will be available for 30 days (or until stock sells out) at the discounted price. As this will be a limited stock promotion there is strictly "no holds" on the legend.  First in, best read! No further discount applies to the book as there's a pretty good chance it will already be cheaper than the US cover price! The discount also only applies to the volume listed, not the entire series of trades.

If you have any questions, you know where to ask them. You can start to buy the Legend from this Thursday the 8th of January.


All Star Legends. The legendary titles of the highest recommendation.

47 RONIN DOUBLE IN-SEASON PASS GIVEAWAY!



Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 Ronin.  After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people.  Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves)—a half-breed they once rejected—as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors.  

As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.


Helmed by director Carl Rinsch (The Gift), 47 Ronin is produced by Pamela Abdy (Identity Thief, upcoming Endless Love) and Eric McLeod (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Austin Powers series). 

Thanks to those lovely folks over at Universal Pictures and 47 Ronin in cinemas January 16, we have 5 double in season passes to give away.

To go into the draw for your chance to win all you need to do is tell us, which Japanese folklore (ancient or modern: manga/anime) would you want by your side going into battle?

Terms and Conditions:
All entries will go into the All Star Barrel and winners will be drawn at random.
Entries close 6pm Tuesday 14th of January and winners will be announced Wednesday the 15th. Passes will only be available to pick up from the store and winner must produce photo ID upon pick up. Passes MUST be picked up no later than a week after the draw. Any remaining passes after this date will be given away at our discretion to make sure they don't go to waste. 


Thanks again to Universal Pictures and of course 47 Ronin, in cinemas January 16th.
