Dr. Horrible Stands Victorious - 5/19/2010

Dr. Horrible Stands Victorious as New Maquette

The Emmy Award-winning, critically praised Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog from creator Josh Whedon attracted millions of viewers during its run, quickly earning a place alongside Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Serenity in the Whedonverse.

Now the love-struck mad scientist, as portrayed by actor Neil Patrick Harris, is presented in a moment of triumph with Quantum Mechanix's Dr. Horrible Maquette ($69.95). This 6"-tall, animated collectible still manages to capture screen-accurate character details, including Horrible's goggles, smock, and Freeze Ray.

Dynamite Adds to Already Extensive Library of Characters!

Dynamite Entertainment has acquired the Chaos! Comics' library and all associated assets which include the publishing labels Black Label Graphics, Infinity Comics and the properties Evil Ernie, Smiley the Psychotic Button, Chastity, Purgatori, Jade, Omen, Bad Kitty, Cremator, Lady Demon and many more (with the exception of Lady Death). Chaos! Comics was the leading independent comics publisher of the 1990's, achieving over thirty million dollars in sales in eight languages.

Chaos! featured such prominent writers such as Peter (Incredible Hulk) David, Brian (Lady Death) Pulido, Alan (Watchmen) Moore, and Christopher (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Golden, and artists such as Jae (Dark Tower) Lee, Greg (X-Force/Spawn) Capullo, Mike (Dark Avengers/Secret Avengers) Deodato, Art (Ultimate X) Adams, Boris (Conan the Barbarian) Vallejo, Steven (Lady Death) Hughes, Adam (Wonder Woman) Hughes,  Joseph (Dawn) Michael Linsner, Berni Wrightson and many more.  
The Chaos! library was known for its dark yet seductive characters that pushed the boundaries of horror comics.

"After announcing our acquisition of Vampirella, and now the Chaos! properties, Dynamite Entertainment is in possession of some of the most iconic horror characters in comic book history, with Evil Ernie and Chastity arguably being the most iconic," says Dynamite Entertainment President Nick Barrucci. "Dynamite Entertainment has grown significantly these past several months with our acquisition of Dabel Bros., our publishing relationship with Liquid and Grant Morrison, and with several other more surprises coming up, we are aiming to be the most diverse publisher in comics!"

No More Discount Codes - 1/25/2010

Instead of fooling around with Discount Codes and trying to keep track of which group is using what, I've decided to just mark everything off 20% across the board and get rid of the Discount Codes altogether.

You still get a discount (which you can readily see on the price description), I have one less thing to fool with, and it puts us a lot closer to being competitive with other internet retailers since the discounted price wasn't showing up in search engines when we used the codes.

Everybody wins. Huzzah!

Yes, it's true! - 12/10/2009

So maybe you just stumbled onto this site, or maybe you knew us way back when and heard we were coming back. It's true.

The dream known as Reality Check Games is a reality. We're starting off slow, getting everything in place. This website is the first step.

But this is no simple placeholder site. You can shop the site just like shopping in the store, other than the coffee and the instore events, of course. But those are coming too. I'm currently looking at a few different locations for the physical brick and mortar store. I'll be signing papers on that in January, with plans to open the doors by late April or early May.

It's coming baby... and you're coming along for the ride.
