MATT DRISCOLL: MIDNIGHT LAUNCH PARTY >>>
In the past I’ve drawn the ire of Weekly Volcano readers for admitting I don’t know much about something and then writing about it anyway. Specifically, a Hot-Rod-A-Rama from a few years back comes to mind. At the time it seemed like a good idea to admit I didn’t know much about cars but I was drawn to the event anyway. It seemed truthful, which is something I always appreciate.
Most people didn’t mind, but a few did. And boy did they mind.
You’d think I would have learned my lesson. You’d think I would have decided to focus solely on things I’m schooled in, and avoid stories where someone with more expertise could be found.
But I didn’t.
At 12:01 a.m. this Wednesday morning, Comic Book Ink, located at 72nd and Portland Avenue, will begin selling The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home, the latest installment in a series of Marvel comics inspired by the Stephen King novel.
While the Comic Book Ink, a well known and respected hub for South Sound comic enthusiasts, usually closes at 8 p.m., this “Midnight Launch Party†will extend business until 1 a.m. In addition to the release of The Dark Tower at midnight, Comic Book Ink will have “some very special sales starting at 8 p.m.†says store owner John Munn.
“Comic Book Ink is one of only 96 comic book shops nationwide hat are participating," says Munn. “We were one of the few that took part in the midnight launch of the last Dark Tower comic. It truly was a great night for all the Stephen King fans who visited us! I am a huge Stephen King fan, and the last comic series has made me even hungrier for the new installment!"
I don't know much about comic books, but anything that can draw people to a comic book store in the middle of the night must be pretty good. Plus, I'm just a big fan of excitement. If Stephen King's Dark Tower is your bag, there's a good chance Comic Book Ink's Midnight Launch Party is, too.
