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.
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!)

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!
Anne Rice, one of the most iconic horror writers, and Mariah Huehner bring Anne Rice's Servant of the Bones to store shelves, adapting the novel of the same name. 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. The most popular character from the most popular fantasy world returns to comics in his first original tale that leads directly into R.A. Salvatore's newest Drizzt novel!

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.

Generation Force is the first booster set to have the new 4th Generation of Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters: the easy-to-play Xyz Monsters! Xyz Monsters bring your Deck some 4th Generation power, because the newest way to Summon from your Extra Deck is the easiest one yet! 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.
As with every set, Generation Force includes 10 Bonus Cards (previously available only in Japan), plus 10 World Premiere cards never before seen anywhere on Earth! You won't want to miss out!Sneak Peek: What is it?A Sneak Peek is your first look inside the latest booster set.

While you’re having fun with your new cards, you might win a special Extreme Victory Game Mat. 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.
