In X-Club #1, Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, Kavita Rao, and Danger's gesture a goodwill to humanity, a space elevator, is near completion when all heck breaks loose, casting mutants in a bad light once again.

Christmas comes early to Gotham City this Wednesday! Inspired by Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, the original graphic novel Batman: Noel Deluxe Edition HC, by writer/artist Lee Bermejo, features Batman interpreted for different eras from the 1960s to today. In order to come to terms with his past, present, and future, The Dark Knight will encounter versions of his allies and enemies that anyone familiar with Dickens' classic will recognize. Fans of Bermejo's Joker and Bat-fans of all types will enjoy this wonderful, oversized graphic novel and its exploration of what makes Batman the hero his is today.
Last week, we followed Wolverine and his X-Men to the newly reopened Xavier school, but this week Marvel is taking us back to Utopia in Uncanny X-Men #1. One of the hottest new writers in comics Kieron Gillen and superstar artist Carlos Pacheco bring us Cyclopes and his team of mutants that chose to stay on the island. Not only must the X-Men deal with the fallout of X-Men: Schism, they now have the newly resurrected Mister Sinister to worry about--and he may have had something to do with their problems all along. You will not want to miss the beginning of a book that promises to bring us the biggest and baddest X-Men ever! Also look for these other X-titles on shelves this Wednesday: New Mutants #33, X-23 #16, and X-Men #20!
Dark Shadows returns with a new comic series from Dynamite Entertainment. Writer Stuart Manning and artist Aaron Campbell bring Barnabas Collins, the original reluctant vampire, back as he re-adjusts to life with his vampiric condition. Barnabas must fight his growing bloodlust as he is plagued by nightmares of his lover and nemesis, Angelique. If he loses his fight, everyone in Collinwood will pay the price. Drama, mystery, and vampires! You know you want it.
Fantasy art legend Rebecca Guay and a host of amazing writers--Holly Black, Bill Willingham, Alisa Kwitney, Louise Hawes, and T.D. Mitchell--bring to life Guay's new, original graphic novel, Flight of Angels. Often times depicted as warriors, guardians, messengers, and more, Angels mean many things to different people. This new hardcover explores these legends when a mysterious angel plummets to Earth and is found in the forest by its mystical denizens. As the creatures debate over what to do with him, they each tell a tale of who they think this angel might be. Once they make their verdict, you will be left speechless.
DC's deluxe presentation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman continues this week with the release of Absolute Sandman Vol. 5, collecting The Sandman: Endless Nights, Dream Hunters, and Sandman Midnight Theatre.

DC fans new and old, this is it; the final week of the new DC 52 is upon us! Let's jump right in to some of the big-hitting solo books you should expect to find on shelves. Award-winning writer Geoff Johns and artists Ivan Reis & Joe Prado reunite after their successful Blackest Night event to bring back one of DC's greatest and most overlooked heroes in Aquaman #1! Even after renouncing the throne of Atlantis, Arthur Curry can not escape the troubles brewing in the sea. A race of horrible creatures only known as The Trench emerge from a dark, forgotten corner of the ocean, and Aquaman is the only hero able to stop them! Then, writer/artist David Finch brings Batman: The Dark Knight #1 back with the help of artist Richard Friend. During the day, Bruce Wayne encounters some unexpected legal ramifications regarding Batman Incorporated, but at night, Batman fights his way through the psychos housed in Arkham Asylum.

Not all heroes work alone, as is evident in DC's newest team books this week! In Teen Titans #1, by Scott Lobdell, Brett Booth, and Norm Rapmund, Tim Drake is back as Red Robin and is up against an organization that aims to capture, kill, or co-opt all super-powered teenagers. However, Red Robin will have to team up with the powerhouse thief Wonder Girl and a hyper speedster claiming himself to be Kid Flash to stop the threat. Meanwhile in space, Kyle Rayner assembles a powerful team of warriors selected from the full spectrum of the corps in Green Lantern: New Guardians #1 by Tony Bedard, Tyler Kirkham, and Batt. The trick for Rayner will be him keeping the group together!

DC fans new and old, this is it; the final week of the new DC 52 is upon us! Let's jump right in to some of the big-hitting solo books you should expect to find on shelves.

Even after renouncing the throne of Atlantis, Arthur Curry can not escape the troubles brewing in the sea. A race of horrible creatures only known as The Trench emerge from a dark, forgotten corner of the ocean, and Aquaman is the only hero able to stop them! Then, writer/artist David Finch brings Batman: The Dark Knight #1 back with the help of artist Richard Friend. During the day, Bruce Wayne encounters some unexpected legal ramifications regarding Batman Incorporated, but at night, Batman fights his way through the psychos housed in Arkham Asylum.

The fastest man alive is back in Flash #1 by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato. Even The Flash can not be everywhere, but when his newest villain can, he will have to be faster than ever before! Next, Tony Daniel and Phillip Tan take Hawkman to new heights in Savage Hawkman #1. While working with an archaeologist who specializes in alien ruins, Carter Hall encounters a discovery that threatens to spead an alien plague through New York City!

Not all heroes work alone, as is evident in DC's newest team books this week! In Teen Titans #1, by Scott Lobdell, Brett Booth, and Norm Rapmund, Tim Drake is back as Red Robin and is up against an organization that aims to capture, kill, or co-opt all super-powered teenagers. However, Red Robin will have to team up with the powerhouse thief Wonder Girl and a hyper speedster claiming himself to be Kid Flash to stop the threat. Meanwhile in space, Kyle Rayner assembles a powerful team of warriors selected from the full spectrum of the corps in Green Lantern: New Guardians #1 by Tony Bedard, Tyler Kirkham, and Batt. The trick for Rayner will be him keeping the group together! And if you are looking for a group that tackles the more mystic problems of the universe, look no further than Justice League Dark #1 by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin. Shade the Changing Man, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Zatanna and John Constantine must join forces to stop a witch gone made known as The Enchantress. Super powers and evil witches are not the only things that threaten lives! Writer Mike Costa and artist Ken Lashley present an elite force of military specialists in Blackhawks #1. The Blackhawks fight a battle against an enemy faster, more brutal, and technically advanced than ever before in this new series.

Classics return and new ones begin this Wednesday, September 21
Even though DC is right in the middle of their successful relaunch, they have not forgotten their history. As the 30th anniversary of the New Teen Titans approaches, DC celebrates with the release of the New Teen Titans: Games HC by Marv Wolfman and George Perez! This amazing story, never told before now, promises to be a event that new and old fans alike will not want to miss. Set in the 1980s, Wolfman and Perez bring back the fan favorite characters from their original run to take part in a deadly game in which they are the pieces and New York City is the game board. This long lost story is a great compliment piece to the new relaunch books out this month.
At long last, the X-Men return to Marvel's Ultimate line this week in Ultimate Comics X-Men #1, written by Nick Spencer with art by Paco Medina. The truth behind the x-gene has been made public and thus ends one of the biggest government cover-ups, but the truth doesn't always solve the problem. After the shocking revelation, mutants suffer a crisis of identity, and the divide between man and x-man grows wider. However, one question still remains: who is this new group of X-Men and what can they do in this time of need? You won't want to miss the debut of this series. Fans also have X-Men Schism #4 by Jason Aaron and Alan Davis to look forward to this week.
IDW continues the adventures of the Starship Enterprise's crew from J.J. Abrams' hit 2009 Star Trek film in the new ongoing Star Trek #1, written by Mike Johnson with art by Stephen Molnar. Roberto Orci, Star Trek's (2009) writer and producer, is also on board offering creative collaboration. The new series re-imagines the classic stories from the original series in the alternate film time-line while also introducing never before seen enemies and allies to Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew. The well known "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is first to receive this new envisioning. What better way to spend time until 2012's anticipate movie sequel than checking out these all new tales.
The DCU's relaunched Bat-family continues to grow this week with the release of several highly-anticipated titles. First up, Batman #1, by fan-favorite writer Scott Snyder and artists Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion, marks the start of a new era for The Dark Knight! Gotham City proves to be deadlier than Batman ever expected as a series of killings leads the Detective to an ancient conspiracy! Meanwhile, Dick Grayson returns in Nightwing #1 by Kyle Higgins, Eddy Barrows, and JP Mayer. Dick embraces his destiny as Nightwing while a life he left long ago comes back into town: Haley's Circus! Once Dick's home, the circus now brings with it murder, mystery, and evil! The once boy wonder turned villain Jason Todd has put his life as the Red Hood behind him only to be recruited by Green Arrow's rejected sidekick Arsenal and the alien Starfire to lead their outlaw team in Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 by Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort. Speaking of outlaws, the cat is back in Catwoman #1 by Judd Winick and Guillem March. Selina Kyle is addicted to Batman, danger, and shiny, expensive things, and she just can't help herself! Why would she want to? Winick explores what really makes Catwoman tick in his new series. As if Gotham City didn't have enough heroes, Birds of Prey #1, by mystery novelist Duane Swierczynski and Jesus Saiz, introduces the covert-ops team of Black Canary and Starling as they track down the villains other heroes can't touch!
This week isn't all Bat-books! Written by Michael Green and Mike Johnson and art by Mahmund Asrar, Supergirl #1 introduces the world to girl with the unpredictable nature of a teenager and all of the powers of Superman! However, Supergirl has none of the Man of Steel's affection for Earth. Supergirl may have god-like powers, but Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang introduce us to the real thing in Wonder Woman #1! To the gods, humans' lives are playthings, but one woman chooses to protect humanity from these strange and powerful forces! Another god among men is born in J. T. Krull and Freddie Williams' Captain Atom #1! He is a hero without limits, charged with nuclear energy and possessing vast molecular powers, but can he stop from loosing himself? God's aren't the only out of this world threats to humanity! In Blue Beetle #1 by Tony Bedard and Ig Guara, Jaime Reyes is just a teen in high school who happens to be linked to a powerful scarab created by the Reach, an alien race seeking to annihilate any planet they come across, but it is his job to make sure this power is used as a force for good. While these heroes have their own books, there are many that may not get the spotlight they deserve, or the didn't until DC Universe Presents #1! This series plans to spotlight some of DC's most exciting heroes. In the first five-issue story, Paul Jenkins and Bernard Chang bring us the body-hopping hero Deadman, straight from Brightest Day!
This week also sees the release of two new DCU team oriented books sure to please fans! Right on the heels of last weeks Green Lantern #1 comes Green Lantern Corps #1 by Peter J. Tomasi and artists Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna! Hal Jordon has lost his powers and Sinestro is busy trying to get rid of his ring, so who will be there when dangerous conflicts erupt across the universe? Well, the Green Lantern Corps of course! Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and an elite Green Lantern strike force aim to keep the peace in a universe short in supply. The Legion is no stranger to conflict, and Legion of Super Heroes #1, by Paul Levitz and Francis Poertela, finds them decimated by one of the worst disasters in its history! The students of the academy help the team rebuild as an unimaginable power rises on the edges of Dominator space!
These books, and many more, will be available as soon as we open the doors on Wednesday, so come on by! (And if you want to get an idea what else you can expect, check out the covers below!)

Amazing comic beginnings this Wednesday, September 14
Miles Morales steps into some new Spider-duds this week in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli. Who is Miles Morales? He's the new Spider-Man, of course! Morales takes up the mantel after Peter Parker's death, but fans should not fear because Bendis plans to keep the theme of the series the same as it has always been, power and responsibility. This book is part of Marvel's new Ultimates initiative to bring fans a more cohesive universe with consistent release schedules and is a great jumping on point for readers.
Marvel's big summer event also continues this week with the release of Fear Itself #6. With the heroes' hopes shattered, what will become of the world as it is shrouded in Fear?
Buffy is back in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9: Freefall #1 by Adrew Chambliss and Joss Whedon with art by Georges Jeanty! At the end of season 8, Buffy saved the world by cutting it off from any supernatural influences, which means Willow has been left powerless and the long line of vampire slayers has come to a close. Even though her intentions were good, Buffy is now hated by those that once followed her into battle, so she relocates to San Fransisco to once again focus on slaying the things that go bump in the night. Whedon fans should also know that Dollhouse: Epitaphs #3 is out this week!
After last week's sell-out of every new-52 DCU book, there is another group set to hit shelves this week. Bat-fans have a couple books to watch for. Batman and Robin #1 by Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, and Mick Gray unites Batman and his son Damian in their battle against evil, but adjusting to their new partnership may be more difficult than they thought. Kate Kane finally gets her new series with the release of Batwoman #1 by J.H. Williams and Haden Blackman, and there is a lot going on in her life. Children are going missing, Bette Kane wants to be her sidekick, and some unsettling revelations about her father arise. The Superman family better watch out because its newest member happens to be a deadly weapon! Superboy #1, by Scott Lobdell, RB Silva, and Rob Lean, introduces the clone thought to be a failed experiment combining Kryptonian and human DNA, but as his powers are revealed, the world hopes a clone can develop a conscience. Speaking of science gone bad, Micheal Holt uses his brains and fists to stop problems only the world's third-smartest man can handle in Mister Terrific #1 by Eric Wallace and Roger Robinson. Those looking for a little cosmic action should look no further then Green Lantern #1 by Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke, and Christian Alamy. The Corps has a new member, and a lot of Lanterns are not too happy. Speaking of people the Green Lanterns don't like, Atrocitus and the rest of his Corps are back in there very own book: Red Lanterns #1 by Peter Milligan, Ed Benes, and Rob Hunter. Readers will also want to grab Legion Lost #1 by Fabian Nicieza and Pete Woods. Seven heroes travel back from the 31st century to the present day with the mission of saving their future, but when something goes wrong, the Legion finds themselves struggling for survival in a nightmarish world.
DC continues to show its supernatural side with the release of several new titles. Demon Knights #1, by Paul Cornell, Diogenes Neves, and Oclair Albert, takes readers back to the Dark Ages of the DCU as Madam Xanadu and Jason Blood are all that stand in the way of an invading barbarian horde. Resurrection Man #1, by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Fernando Dagnino, marks the return of Mitch Shelly to the DCU; Shelly was dead, but he cam back again, and again, and again. Each time he comes back, he is reborn with a new power. However, his escape from death has not gone unnoticed all of these times and forces gather to stop him from ever coming back again. Fresh off his hit issue of Animal Man #1, Jeff Lemire presents Frankenstein, Agent of Shade #1 with art by Alberto Ponticelli. Frankenstein is a member of the secret organization known as The Super Human Advanced Defense Executive tasked with protection the world from threats more horrifying than him, but when he lives in a world that vilifies him for who and what he is, will Frank even want to help?
If bad guys are your thing, look no further than Suicide Squad #1 by Adam Glass and Marco Rudy. A team of death-row super villians-Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark-are recruited to take on missions too dangerous for anyone that isn't disposable, but after being captured, which one of them will reveal the truth behind this illegal operation? Not one for teams, Slade Wilson, DCU's best mercenary, gets his own book this week: Deathstroke #1 by Kyle Kiggins, Joe Bennett, and Art Thibert. Deathstroke has been at it for a long time and made a lot of enemies, and they should remember that he never quits and never to turn their backs. While not exactly a bad guy like these other folks, Cole Cash, the charming grifter, finds himself labeled as a serial killer while hunting inhuman monsters disguised as regular people in Grifter #1 by Nathan Edmondson and Cafu.

DC's new 52 starts this Wednesday, August 31
After several long months of rumors, hints, and previews, DC's new 52 line-up starts this Wednesday in Justice League #1! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Flashpoint #5 hits shelves this week too, and it's cover says it all: "It all changes here!" Flash and Reverse Flash face off in what promises to be a universe defining battle that we have all been waiting for. What happened to Barry's world? How did Thawne change everything? Or could someone else be responsible for the hellish world Flash seeks to erase? All of the answers will be revealed. Following right on the heels of the ground breaking conclusion to Flashpoint comes Justice League #1 by the superstar team of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee! While the relaunch of the title will have some new surprises (the world has only known about superheroes for five years), readers can look forward to a familiar line-up including Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Cyborg. This issue will give everyone a taste of the new status quo in the DCU and should not be missed.
Even with everything new, DC has not forgotten about its past! Fans of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's Teen Titans have the New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 1 HC to look forward to this week! Collecting the first 16 issues of their groundbreaking series, this omnibus offers nearly 700 pages of classic material in one handsome hardcover edition.
Dark Horse Comics' new Angel and Faith #1 by Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs begins this Wednesday. After the events of Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8, Angel was left in a near-catatonic state, and with a recent history of bad choices, only Faith will help him redeem himself and herself along the way. Luckily for them, the duo has access to all of the Watcher's files, so the vampire with a soul and the rebel Slayer with a cause will have plenty of opportunities to make amends for their past transgressions.
Marvel's Ultimate Comics Hawkeye #1 hits shelves hot on the heels of last week's Ultimate Comics Ultimates #1. Writer Jonathan Hickman and artists Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona bring one of the Ultimates' deadliest members to the forefront in his new solo book! Clint Barton, weapons expert, has been tasked with a mission that may prove to be one of his most dangerous ones yet, and what he discovers will be felt throughout the Ultimate universe.

It isn't an Illusion. Warhammer returns to Dr. No's!
Do not be fooled by the dreamy pictures. Warhammer is back at Dr. No's. Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, terrain supplies, paints, tools, etc. are all here. We also have in stock a Painting Guide and Terrain Building Guide to help you make your armies and playing surface look the best they can be.
From Games Workshop,
"...The Warhammer world is rich with history and legend, aeons of bloodshed and conflict have shaped both its surface and its denizens into a world of relentless battle. It is the battleground between the forces of Order and Destruction, where vast armies clash in mighty battles with the fate of the world hanging in the balance..."
"...Warhammer Fantasy is the Game of Fantasy Battles, a thrilling test of tactical skill and strategy. Warhammer is far more than just a game though, it's also an absorbing hobby where you can collect, model and paint armies of exquisite miniatures.
Many races wage war upon the face of world, each fighting for a different cause or purpose. Some fight for freedom and the safety of their citizens, some for the joy of slaughter or to slake an insatiable thirst for carnage. Others do battle for the entertainment of the Dark Gods, seeking the enslavement of all mortals."
"...Warhammer 40,000, the tabletop battlegame of the far future, allows you to wage war with armies of Citadel miniatures across miniature battlefields in the ultimate contest of strategy and skill. Each player is a commander who must choose his finest warriors, decide upon cunning battle plans and strategies and lead his army to victory or death. Games can vary in size from small skirmishes of just a few dozen models per side, to massive clashes with hundreds of miniatures..."
"... The Lord of The Rings Strategy Battle Game, a game that puts you in charge of the army of your choice, be it the noble and brave men of Gondor, stalwart Dwarves, vile and cruel Orcs or the armoured Uruk-hai of Isengard. The monsters and heroes of Middle-earth are yours to command, including the likes of Gandalf the Grey, Aragorn, Saruman and the Witch-king; legendary creatures like the Mûmakil, Ents; and terrifying monsters such as the Balrog or Dragons.
The Lord of The Rings Strategy Battle Game is for anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to control the fabled Fellowship of The Ring as they battled their way through Khazad-dûm, who has wondered whether they could have thwarted the defenders of Helm's Deep or wanted to take part in the glorious Battle of the Pelennor Fields..."
Turtle Power returns this Wednesday, August 24
Heroes in a half-shell, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, make their return in IDW's new, full-color Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 written by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz with art by Dan Duncan.

However, life isn't completely stable for the Turtles as they face a new villian by the name of Old Hob, a mutated ally cat bearing a deadly grudge. The new ongoing TMNT book is bigger and badder than ever and sets out to amaze new and old fans alike.
From the pages of DC Comics' hit Batman Beyond series comes Superman Beyond #0 by Tom Defalco with art by Ron Frenz, the hit-team behind Spider-Girl. With The Man of Tomorrow's powers in decline and his loved ones gone, Superman took to space to find solace, but his love for Earth and his hometown in Kansas brought him home only to find things have changed in his absence. He is once again called into action to stop a new villain more powerful than any he has faced before. This week also sees the release of the last few Flashpoint tie-in books before the relaunch of the DC Universe, including Flashpoint: Kid Flash #3, Lois Lane and the Resistance #3, and Project Superman #3.
Acclaimed write Jonathan Hickman and superstar artist Esad Ribic kick off the next era of Marvel's Ultimate Universe in Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #1! As the heroes struggle to fit in to a world with a new status quo, the Ultimates face new threats even they may not be able to overcome. With Captain America MIA after the events of Ultimate Fallout, America's last line of defense may be out of luck. The new creative team promises to take the Ultimates into new and deadly territory! Anyone looking to pick-up Marvel's Ultimate titles shouldn't miss this book!
Also, don't forget that Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s hit series Kick-Ass 2 continues with the long awaited release of issue #3!

Once a spirit of rage and terror in ancient Babylon, the demon Azriel awakens in New York City to witness the brutal slaying of a young woman in the streets. He sets out to discover her killer only to find a far more sinister and world threatening plot while rediscovering his humanity. This six part adaptation is ornately illustrated by Renae DeLiz and Ray Dillon, the best-selling New York Times team.
Fans of action and adventure need look no further than this week's Dungeons & Dragons: Drizzt #1 by R.A. and Gene Salvatore with art by Agustin Padilla.

Join us at Dr. No's Comics and Games this Saturday, August 6, and Sunday, August 7, for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Generation Force Sneak Peak Event! Starting at noon on Saturday and 12:30 PM on Sunday, events will be run hourly to ensure everyone gets a chance to play.

Plus they automatically work with ALL the monsters you already have in your Deck.
This 100-card set also has HERO monsters, new aquatic cards, and Wind-Up toys, and is the first booster set printed with the new Problem-Solving Card Text.
At the Sneak Peek, you can also try to get an exclusive Generation Force Game Mat. You don’t have to be a skilled Duelist because we’ve asked the stores to give them out randomly, so everyone has a chance! Plus everybody gets a limited edition, Ultra Rare Xyz Veil Trap (while supplies last), and a mini-poster that tells you how to summon an Xyz Monster, and a Generation Force checklist on the back! Be sure to show up early because supplies of all items are limited and late-comers could get left in the dust.

Additional booster packs will not be awarded, but you can buy more packs of Generation Force on August 16 at stores everywhere!If your child is younger, shy, or just getting into Yu-Gi-Oh!, a Sneak Peek is a good first stop. Some tournaments can be intimidating, with highly competitive players, but these Sneak Peek events are more casual and fun. These are some of the best events for new Duelists since everybody has access to the same cards. If your child is nervous about asking a stranger to Duel against, ask the store personnel to help. Sneak Peeks are all about everyone having a good time with their new cards.

These books, and many more, will be available as soon as we open the doors on Wednesday, so come on by! (And if you want to get an idea what else you can expect, check out the covers below!)
