Local news – Nov 1, 2008

• There are several new developments at Capes Comic Book Lounge in Benson. Thursday is now “Ladies Night,” which means 20% off everything in the store starting at 4 p.m. Important note — WOMEN HAVE TO BE PURCHASING THE STUFF. Guys, you can’t just bring a girl with you and get a discount. Capes also has 20% Tuesdays, in which all comics on the wall are on sale.

Also, Capes will soon feature “Penalty Comics,” a little in-store game along the lines of “I don’t know” on You Can’t Do That On Television. More details to come.

And again, Capes is featuring the Doomkopf.com Book of Doom in the shop. Capes customers and Doomkopf.com readers are encouraged to email us your review of the weekly pick to have it included in Saturday’s roundtable.

• After picking up half a million back issues this summer, Legend Comics has begun naming a “Featured 500,000 Comic of the Week” at its online store. This week’s selection is Daredevil #1 (1964). Legend is still offering 25% off all back issues every Saturday and Sunday for the rest of 2008.
