IT BECOMES YOU…
John Carpenter’s classic remake gets a back story this year. Set in the ice of the Antarctic, scientists find ‘the Thing ‘ which soon becomes….them.
And we’ve got tickets to a pre-screening on Tuesday, October 11th! So be sure to get one while they last! Just drop into the store and mention this post.
BOOM! BOOM! PTANG!
If you like Rockem Sockem Robots, but always wished they were the size of houses and you could place bets on them, REAL STEEL is the answer!
Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find has got tickets for the advanced preview of the Hugh Jackman ROBO-EXTRAVAGANZA on Wednesday, September 14th at 7pm.
Just come by the store and mention this post for a ticket for two. Just don’t tell our mechanical overlords.
THE DEBT IS CALLED IN
We’ve got another exciting addition to the Heroes free movie cavalcade! There are passes for a screening of The Debt on Tuesday the 30th in the store now. Based on the Israeli movie of the same name, the Debt is the story of the price we (secret agents) pay for our secrets. Starring Helen Mirren (RED) and Sam Worthington (Avatar).
50/50 chance of a free movie!
Holy statistics guys! We’ve got passes to 50/50, Seth Rogan’s new movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt about a twenty-somethings struggle with cancer. Sure to be a light hearted look at a serious disease.
Be sure to stop by the store for a pass. The show is on Tuesday, August 16th at 7:30 pm. Also, the passes this time are admit one (1) rather than the traditional two (2). Have a great weekend everybody!
SECOND CHANCE SCREENING!
To everybody that missed out on last night’s advanced screening of Fright Night, you have another chance to catch this remake of the 80′s favorite next Wednesday night. Just come by the store and pick up your free pass!
ON THE ROAD:: SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON INT’L
It’s that time again! San Diego Comic-Con is upon us and Shelton will be heading out first thing Wednesday morning to join the frenzy. He’s scouting for great guests for Heroes Convention’s big 30th anniversary show next year, June 22nd – 24th! If you have any sugestions for the boss be sure to let us know by e-mailing me here. If any of our loyal custies have any requests for comic-con exclusives they can e-mail me directly. Keep in mind that all requests are limited by availability and time constraints, so you might not get what you request even if you throw your hat in the ring first. But if you don’t ask you’ll never know! So be sure to send in any requests before Friday the 22nd and Shelton will do his best (assisted by the ever-gleeful Matt Knapik!) to fufill your wish lists. And don’t forget to wish our very own Bridgit “Good Luck!” while she’s at the convention promoting her web comic, Brother Nash.

As the ices thaws, Heroes abides…
So once again this is an update for our customers that, despite the wintery conditions, our store is open today and will be until about 6 o’clock tonight. 7th street looks pretty clear but our side streets are a bit icy. We hope to have the books out on time for everyone tomorrow. Check the blog again in the morning for updates. Until then, come by and grab a book to cozy up with next to the fire. Just like Calvin and his friend.
