Mike & Flash!

10003496_638733072873711_4376259677602194424_n

We’re pretty sure that Mike couldn’t be more stoked about the book he just got back from CGC Comics for grading. He found a Showcase #4 (first appearance of Flash) in a stack of his dad’s and uncle’s old comic books. The books had been sitting in a cabinet at their childhood house for decades — thanks, mom for not throwing them out! — until Mike found them. Now, he has a sweet heirloom that’ll be in the family for generations Congrats, Mike!

We send out books for grading every-other-month or so.  The cost for grading is usually $25, although it is higher for older books, such as Mike’s.  Through grading, your books are graded, encapsulated, and recorded in a registry; learn more by clicking hereIf you need help deciding whether or not a book should be sent out for grading, we can help.  Simply bring the book into the shop and Jason will appraise it, or you can email him at jason@newwavecomics.net.

Develop a Game for the Lunar Deck

nw_toms card game

New Wave Super Friend, Thomas, recently designed the cards pictured above, called the Lunar Deck.  Now, it’s time for you to come up with a game for them!  Here are the details:

  • Deck contains 6 suites with 9 cards each, for a total of 54 cards.
  • Each suite is identified by a color; gray, orange, black, brown, blue, green.
  • Each card depicts a center and corner images of a moon phase (a smaller image of a “chain” of moon phases depicts the previous phases of the lunar cycle).
  • Each card depicts an element; water, fire, earth, metal, wood, or harmony.
  • There is also an eclipse card (top left) that is comparable to an ace in that it can be used as high or low.

So far, a Uno-type game has been played with the deck.  What are your ideas?  Stop in the shop to see the deck in person, and if you’re interested in getting together with others to discuss ideas, contact us at (610) 222-9200 or info@newwavecomics.net.
