While the Magic the Gathering Pre-release is coming up this weekend, the next weekend is a HUGE weekend for games. Magic: the Gathering, Yu Gi Oh, UFS CCG, and Ascension Deckbuilding Game all have special events lined up for the weekend of Febuary 5th!
On Febuary 5th we have both the Magic: the Gathering release tournament, the Yu Gi Oh pre-release event for the Storm of Ragnarok set, and the pre-release tournament for UFS CCG's Red Horizon!
Magic: the Gathering registration is from Sunday through Saturday ($24.99) and the tournament will begin at 1:00 on Feb 5th.
(Just Announced!) The UFS CCG has experienced a resurrection with the upcoming Red Horizon expansion. The pre-release is a sealed tournament ($TBD.) This pre-release is the first in a hopefully long run for the newly resurrected card game!
Yu Gi Oh pre-release events are more casual, but no less fun. When players register ($19.99), they receive 5 packs of the Storm of Ragnarok to build a deck with and are entered into a drawing for an exclusive pre-release game mat!
But that is not all! On Sunday, Feb 6th, Dr. No's is hosting an Ascension Game Day. Ascension is a fast-paced deckbuilding game that’s quick to learn, easy to setup, and packed with endless hours of replay value. All of the players who register ($5.00 or free with Ascension Purchase) receive a copy of Lifebound Hero, Pathwarden!

While in the present, Spider-Man and Iron Man attempt to fill in the blanks of Tony's missing memories, and so much more. The future starts now for Iron Man!
Speaking of our favorite web-head, Amazing Spider-Man #652 marks the beginning of the "Revenge of the Spider-Slayer" story-line. After the return of the Hobgoblin in "Big Time," more of Spidey's rogues gallery is stepping out; Alistair Smythe, The Spider-Slayer, is back and has brought a slew of upgraded baddies, including Mac Gargan back as The Scorpian, to ruin Spider-Man's day, and everyone Parker knows is in danger.
Season eight of Joss Whedon's Buff the Vampire Slayer draws to a close with issue 40 this week. Buffy has traveled a long road home, but all is not safe just yet. Betrayal and loss faces the Scooby gang, and they will never be the same again.
Based on the hit video game series, Mass Effect Evolution #1 is a new story by Mass Effect 2's lead writer Mac Walters and John Jackson Miller revealing humanities first days of conflict on the galactic stage. Also, find out The Illusive Man's pivotal role in the whole thing. Fans of the series shouldn't miss this essential piece of cannon presented here for the first time! If that isn't enough, the Mass Effect Redemption TP is still available!
Also this week, superhero fans should keep an eye out for great titles like Batman #706, Brightest Day #18, and Wolverine #5!
Those looking for something a little different have The Boys #50, Scarlet #4, and Superior #4 to look forward to this week.

Store is Open and New Comics Are Here!
Hello All!
After a couple of days trapped...uh... relaxing behind a mound of snow, Dr. No's is open to serve your comic and game needs. We have received our shipment of new releases for the week, and they're on the shelves waiting for you! (Only two and a half hours late, which we're pretty proud of, considering the weather--we owe a debt of gratitude to Barry, Tommy, and everyone at FedEx Freight in Conley, GA, who made it possible for us to have the books today, in spite of inclement weather.. these guys went above and beyond, and they had everything ready for us to pick up when we got there this morning!)
Due to deteriorating road conditions after dark, we will be closing Wednesday, January 12th, at 6pm. We do anticipate resuming regular 11am-8pm hours beginning Thursday, January 13th, and we still hope to have our normal Friday night YuGiOh tournament.
Please be careful when you get on the roads. There are still many frozen patches, and all that water on the roadways is going to refreeze once the sun drops lower. We all love comics, but they'll be here waiting for you when conditions improve!

Everything's Still On Ice...
Due to weather conditions, we are not able to open the store this morning; we will evaluate road conditions later today to determine if we might be able to open at all this afternoon. We are hopeful that conditions will improve enough for our comics delivery to get through sometime on Wednesday, and we are optimistic that we will be able to open on Wednesday for new comics sales.
As of right now, Diamond has not been able to get any comic book shipments into metro Atlanta; both FedEx and UPS are still holding books in Memphis and will not dispatch them to this area until road conditions improve enough that they can resume normal operations at their freight hubs. We are monitoring the status of both operations and will pick up our comics as soon as they make it into the metro area, but there's no word on whether FedEx and/or UPS will begin moving shipments later today, sometime on Wednesday, or perhaps even later.
Keep checking with us here for the latest info! We appreciate your understanding and patience during this weather situation, and we all look forward to resuming our normal schedule as soon as possible!

Chilling Out
The unprecedented snow and ice of Sunday night and Monday morning continues to make its presence known, and at this time (11:30pm Monday night), it's hard to say what tomorrow might bring. Currently, forecasts call for the roads to be as bad tomorrow as they were today; as a result, it's possible that Dr. No's will open late and close early tomorrow--and there's still a chance that the store will remain closed for a second day if there's not enough road clearing to make it safe for staff to get to the store.
Diamond has also informed us that the books will be delayed--just how much we can't say, but this is beyond anyone's control since neither FedEx Freight or UPS moved any shipments into the metro Atlanta area today. Until the FedEx Freight center can open and handle incoming shipments (they were closed today), Diamond can't get comics into Georgia for any of the metro Atlanta stores to process--and that includes your friendly neighborhood comics retailers at Dr. No's! We're touching base with Diamond and with FedEx several times during the day to get the latest word, and as soon as we can get our books, we will, of course.
We'll continue to post here and on Facebook as we know what's going on, so stay in touch with us for the latest information--and thanks for your patience in this meteorologically challenging time!

We'll Be Right Back!...
Due to Sunday evening's unprecedented snowfall, Dr. No's will be closed on Monday, January 10th. As much as we'd like to be able to help you find just the comics and games that you're looking for, we'd also like to know that our staff and customers aren't risking life and limb to get to the store.
We are certainly optimistic that we will be able to open on Tuesday, January 11th, even if we have to open slightly late to allow for road clearing. Please check back here at www.drnos.com tomorrow evening or Tuesday morning for updates.
We also are not sure at this point if the weather will delay the arrival of this week's comic book shipment. The truck bringing our books has to drive through a couple of hundred miles of this snow and ice, so it is possible that books will be late. Again, we will update you here at www.drnos.com just as soon as we know what's going on, and we will make every effort to get the books to you as soon as possible.
Thanks for understanding!
