Looking for Volunteers

We are very few, the employees, at store A Galaxy Called Dallas. We stay busy stocking, cleaning, taking care of customers, making sure the bills get paid, that we get paid and such. 

One of the things that we’ve always wanted to have happen at the shop is a fun game night. Saturdays are hit and miss and we’d love to make it a hit on a more consistent basis and even concentrate on individual games. We’ve got a small group of Yu-Gi-Oh! players and would like to see a Magic group, a Dice Masters night, Role-playing night, Hero Clix, Munchkin, and maybe a Star Realms. Unfortunately, we don’t have the manpower to step out from behind the register and run these games.


This is where we reach out to you, the gamers. We are looking for game masters, dungeon masters, referees, and others to run the games! We are familiar with the rules, but can’t leave the paying customer at the register. If you are interested in helping put together a game night, we can provide you with the tools that are required to do it. Just email or call us to find out how!

James’ Pick: Ei8ht #1 by Dark Horse

American Vampire’s Rafael Albuquerque brings a tale of his own that catches you at the start and won’t let go! Pilot Joshua wakes up with amnesia and slowly reconstructs what happened as he figures out what is going on.

Co-writing with Mike Johnson (Supergirl), Albuquerque tells the tale of Joshua who has made a deal to find someone. We only find this out as he regains this info from his amnesia. Waking from a crash in the middle of an unknown landscape. He learns a little at a time and we are right there with him. We learn that he has traveled in time (across dimensions, maybe) and has a communicator with a voice that he doesn’t recognize. Told to follow a dinosaur, yes, you heard right, he comes to learn more about his predicament.

With Albuquerque’s art style which I’ve come to love in American Vampire, the color that added to his lines really make this a cool looking read. The story is gripping and I’m ready for the next installment. Dark Horse has added another great title to their stable and this is the reason I don’t read a lot of titles from the two big dogs anymore.
