Fire and Ice on February 2nd, 2019

by

Last year for Fire and Ice, Brainstorm Comics and Gaming commissioned an ice sculpture etched with Mjolnir and the phrase Marvel has made synonymous with it.  This sculpture was a huge hit as over a thousand people stopped to have their picture taken with the mythical weapon.

This year we went even more legendary…..

Brainstorm Comics and Gaming, in a tribute to the one and only Marvel legend, commissioned an ice sculpture celebrating everything that Stan “The Man” Lee has given to the comic world.  We promise this is one you won’t want to miss and you’ll want to have your cameras ready to commemorate the day.

In addition to that, you’ll want to enter the raffle for this special piece that Mark Russo created in celebration of the life of Stan Lee.

In addition to both of those things, we will be doing a sale!  Details will be announced later in the week.

Show up for Stan.

And remember one of our favorite quotes: “Don’t be sad it’s over; smile because it happened.”

Board Game Night — Aye, Dark Overlord

by

Are you looking for something to do this Thursday night between 6 pm and 8 pm? Join Brainstorm Comics and Gaming at 54 E Patrick St for a game or two of Aye, Dark Overlord. Each round a new player assumes the role of the Dark Overlord, beginning the story of the failed quest by their minions. But alas, no minion wants to assume the blame (or wrath) of their leader, so it is up to you to shift the blame to your comrades in arms. This game takes several hilarious twists. Don’t be afraid to throw your best friend under the bus in an effort to protect your own hide. Just make sure the Dark Overlord believes your story.

So join us for this absolutely free entertainment. You’ll love the game and the people you meet.
