The Comic Monstore is Rowan County’s premier destination for comic books, games and toys. Since 2003, The Comic Monstore has catered to fans of super heroes, fantasy, science-fiction and horror. While the store has a wide variety of collectibles for kids of all ages, it has also become a gathering place for gamers. Weekly events usually include Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Disney’s Lorcana TCG, Riftbound: League of Legends TCG, Star Wars Unlimited TCG, Pathfinder RPG, and a variety of other card games and board games.
The Comic Monstore opened in May of 2003. Conveniently located near exit 75, off of I-85, the shop is easy to locate. The store is owned by Ray & Karen Franks, and the store manager is Shane Peoples. If you are hungry, we are near several locations for food including Massimo’s Sandwich Shop, Culver’s, Wendy’s, Casa Grande Mexican Restaurant, and Ichiban’s Japanese Steakhouse.
Skottie Young and Jorge Corona take the main man to the next level. His ride is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound, but only if that sound is a rippin’ guitar solo, and you better hop on before he leaves you in the dust with all the bastiches he’s fragged for money or convenience! The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe. Pick up the first issue of Lobo at Comic Monstore or other fine comic book shops.
G.I. JOE is the codename of a highly trained covert special missions force. Their enemy: COBRA, a terrorist organization bent on ruling the world! There are two new games for fans to check out this week. G.I. Joe HeroScape comes in a Battle Box that includes everything two players need to jump into Heroscape, featuring 8 highly detailed miniatures, modular hex terrain, COBRA Fortifications, dice, Wound Markers, Order Markers, and all the Army Cards, rules, and scenarios needed for endless replayability. Also, in RISK G.I. JOE, 2-4 players each join one of two factions — G.I. Joe or Cobra — and seek to complete missions or resolve plots in an effort to score the most objective points (OP) after three rounds of play.
