We realize we haven’t done a sale in a while and we wanted to thank you for your patience as we are preparing our massive 4200 square foot location in Walkersville (you guys and gals are going to love it).

So as a thank you, we are offering board games and roleplaying games (no Games Workshop related products or card games) at 15% off and graphic novels at 25% off.

Grab a game and/or a graphic novel, then hit one of the many other great stores or restaurants to grab a bite to eat in downtown Frederick. You can’t go wrong.

In the meantime, remember to vote for us in the Best of the Best voting.  Let Frederick know. Your vote is very important!

Why Aren’t You Reading…..Gideon Falls?

by

Why Aren’t You Reading…? is a series of videos where we pick up stories we think you would enjoy and give you our take on why we feel comic fans would feel it’s worth a read.  Some are old, some are new, all are entertaining.

Sorry for not having updated the website as we have been posting the videos on YouTube.  If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to our channel over there so you don’t miss out on Brainstorm Comics and Gaming’s reviews of various stories we think you’d enjoy.

This review is for Gideon Falls.

In this story, we have two interconnecting stories.  If you enjoy conspiracy driven books with a dash of suspense and a hint of terror, this is going to be your type of book.  Secret societies!  A dark and mysterious past!  Murder!  It’s all here.

We follow two characters–a mentally unstable man with a penchant for collecting odds and ends from around the city; in addition to him, we have a priest who is sent to a town who lost their previous minister under mysterious circumstances.  How are they connected?  What is the larger story?  Watch the video below to get more information.

Gideon Falls is written by Jeff Lemire with art by Andrea Sorrentino.

Don’t miss out on this.
