Here's a quick "snapshot" of the festivities - food, drink, Blue Moon, video games, comic book conversation and Justice League #1 and Flashpoint #5! This video is super-quick, but we had some local talent, film students, who are putting together a more in-depth look at the evenings festivities.

 

Announcing EmpiresCV.tv - Sacramento's newest comics show

We finally talked Ben into sharing his favorite titles from each week's new comic book day releases. A whopping two of us have previewed this show and really enjoy it. We think you will too. In fact, please let us know what you think in the comments.

EmpiresCV.tv will appear weekly on our Facebook page and also on our YouTube channel, or visit www.EmpiresCV.tv each week for immediate viewing.  Special thanks to one of our regular fans, Joey Janssen, for reminding us to snag the URL for the show. And now, EmpiresCV.tv...

 

Green Lantern movie fun at Empire's Comics Vault

We’re celebrating the release of the Green Lantern movie by giving away all kinds of cool Lantern swag -- Lantern rings, Green Lantern movie t-shirts, temporary tattoos, HeroClix, posters of Tomar-Re, Kilowog and Hal, and other cool things. We even came up with our very own Oath!
In brightest day, in blackest night,
Empire’s Comics Vault’s fun begins tonight,
Let all who play be rich and bright,
Sacramento Green Lantern fans unite!
The movie opens Friday, June 17, but the fun begins now. Unfortunately the Guardians of Swag will not release these items unless you exercise your Lantern powers! Find out below.

Alright, Poozers, there are three ways to get some cool stuff:
GL1. Get a Green Lantern movie t-shirt
Without reading it, recite any Lantern oath in our store or in a video you post to the Empire’s Comics Vault’s Facebook page. If you recite the Sapphire Lantern, Green Lantern, Blue Lantern or Yellow Lantern oath, we’ll throw in a Lantern ring of the same color.
Fine Print (GL1): Offer good through June 30, 2011, while supplies last. You may only participate in this offer one time. If you participate in this offer, you may not participate in the “Select one Lantern item” offer listed below.

GL2. Select one Lantern item
Come into the store and say, “Beware my power – Green Lantern’s light!” and you’ll get to take your pick of one item from the lanyards, tattoos, water bottles, backpacks, posters and HeroClix.
Fine Print (GL2): Offer good through June 30, 2011, while supplies last. Shirts and power rings not included. If you participated in the shirts and power ring offer, you may not participate in this offer. Of course, you may participate in the Larfleeze Contest, since it is about avarice. Hungry!

GL3. Larfleeze’s Oath of Avarice Contest
Get your greed on to receive 10 Lantern’s rings and one of everything else!
That’s right, one for each finger! Write an Orange Lantern oath and send it to us. We’ll collect them all and let Facebook members vote on the best one. The oath must be four lines long, like all the other oaths. No, you can’t have 10 more for your toes.
Two ways to submit your oath
1. If you have a Facebook account, type the oath into a Note and add Empire’s Comics Vault in the Tags section. You have to Like our Facebook Page to be able to add us in the Tags. We’d be nuts if we didn’t hope that you’ll continue as a fan of our page, but at least stick around until the costest is over, so that your entry will be counted.
2. If you DON’T have a Facebook account, email the oath to EmpiresCV [at] gmail [dot] com, ATTN: Larfleeze’s Oath of Avarice. Be sure to add your first and last name to the email, so we know who you are. By sending us your entry, you agree to have your name and oath appear on Facebook for voting purposes.
Larfleeze’s Contest Fine Print (GL3): All entries received by June 30, 2011, midnight, are eligible. Anyone with a Facebook account may vote for one or more entries, using the “Like” button. Voting starts Saturday, July 2 at 12:01 AM. Voting ends Saturday, July 9 at 5:00 PM. Shirt size to awarded is XL. Ten rings is comprised of 5 orange rings, and one each of the sapphire, blue, orange, yellow, and green rings. Complete prize list is available at the end of this post.
