We had a great time at the shop Wednesday for our New Years Eve, Eve party. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and bought some books, had some cake and visited our special guests.
A special thanks to our guest Arie Monroe and Damont Jordan. You guys were awesome! Arie drew my new favorite Super Girl picture! You can see Damonts Blackest Night skate board deck hanging in the store. It rocks!
Also a huge thank you to Super Girl, Green Lantern and Star Saffire. That was a very cold day to come out in costume. You guys are the best. Check the website www.elite-comics.com for pics of the day(very soon) and some scans of Arie and Damonts stuff!
The biggest thank you of all to all my customers. None of the fun stuff can happen, and I have to get a real job, if not for you. I sincerely appreciate your business and your friendship.
We have a bunch of fun stuff planned for this year starting with our new website and online subscription system. Go to the website and click on the subscription button and give it a try, you'll love it!
We are also looking for people to write reviews for the site. Got a favorite book you think people need to be reading? Write up a case and become a guest reviewer on our site.
We have signings and events coming up all year and we are already getting ready for the big one-Planet Comicon 2010!
Thanks again for a great year and see you Wednesday!!

From the offices of Wizard Magazine
This may or may not be the first time you're seeing this item, but we at Elite Comics feel it's important that all comic book fans be privy to this news. The following internal memo from Wizard Magazine was leaked by someone inside the publication who has asked that their identity remain secret. Given the fact that the Wizard "staff" now consists of roughly three freelancers and a dog-eared copy of Previews catalog, it shouldn't be too difficult to determine the source.

Re: New format
Many of you have recently questioned the idea behind our new format. It's simple. Rather than try to compete with the internet, we will be taking a page, if you will, from their playbook. It's so much easier to create a list of items, rather than researching and writing a legitimate article. To this end, we will henceforth be numbering the "articles" in our publication from 1 to 40. Don't worry. No single article will have any more significance than any other; the numbers will be entirely arbitrary.
We will, of course, continue in our endeavors to produce an entire publication devoid of any opinion. Our goal in continually remaining positive about even the most questionable of projects is never to alienate a potential guest for our conventions. As you well know, the featured guests for the upcoming Toronto show include Eliza Dushku and one of the polar bears from the television show, Lost. The polar bear may or may not be a last minute cancellation dependent upon prior Coca Cola-related holiday commitments.
Dushku's a lock.
Despite our decreased page count, our writers may still struggle to come up with new and unique stories on a monthly or bi-weekly basis. Our solution: stop trying. Please refer to the latest edition of Previews catalog (see second floor men's room). They're more than happy for us to do a full-page spread for an upcoming statue or hardcover collection. Just be sure to include the requisite three lines of text to accompany photo reproduction.
From this point on, we will no longer be featuring the extensive price guide for which we're known, but please do nothing to devalue CGC-graded titles in the eyes of our readers. By now, we all know they're utterly meaningless, but that doesn't mean we want to broadcast it to the general populace.
Should we ever be straddling the line between legitimate magazine and fanzine due to page count, please feel free to call Jason Aaron. He is currently the only professional in comic books nice enough to always return our calls. Either that, or we can once again raid Bendis' Twitter posts.
Good luck and God bless.
