Mild delay in new comics this week 3/6/2019

Hey there Time Warp family, we wanted to keep you informed about the status of this week’s new comics.

Due to weather delays with our shipment from Diamond, we’re getting a late start on our work with new books this week. Books will be available on Wednesday, but we will likely have some more work to do in the morning–if it doesn’t inconvenience you, come in around lunchtime or later in the afternoon when we’re more likely to have finished up our essential work with the new books.

We’re sorry for the news, but we promise we’re doing our best to get everything set up for you all as soon as we possibly can! If you want to know what our status is before you make your trip to visit us on Wednesday, feel free to give us a call: 303-443-4500.

Thank you!

RIP Kris Sorant, 1973-2019

Today is a sad day. With great sadness and regret, I am informing the Time Warp family that long time employee, customer and friend Kris Sorant passed way unexpectedly this past Sunday, February 17th.
Kris was known here as “Back Issue Kris”, a name given him by “Matt”, a long time customer.
Kris worked so hard on our back issues, and was a fixture here for decades. He always strived to put the very best copies in our massive back issue bins.
While always in bad health it seemed, and despite all that he worked very hard and often spent long hours working after the store closed when everyone else went home for the night.
Whenever the rest of us were working Denver Comic Con, he ran the whole store all by himself for three days, a feat that always blew my mind.
He was also a very intelligent fellow, and could expound on any and all subjects. World class knowledge.
His favorite comic book characters were Spider-Man and the X-Men and he had a very comprehensive collection of those. His favorite musician was Buckethead!
If you’ve been shopping here at all in the last couple of decades, you’ve run in to him, I’m sure. If any of you have pictures to share, I would appreciate it. My phone wiped anything older than last year, and I can’t find one.
He will be greatly missed by all of us here at the store, and many former employees who worked with him.
He was only 46 years old. I don’t have any details yet. As I find out more details, I will post them here, or on our website Time-warp.com.
Memorial service details are forthcoming.
Whenever an employee, customer and friend passes away, it leaves a whole in my heart that never heals. Kris was all of these, and the world is a sadder place without him in it .
RIP, brother. We loved you!

Dungeons and Dragons meet-up this Saturday!

For the first time, Time Warp is hosting a game of Dungeons and Dragons!

This Saturday, Harrison, a file holder at Time Warp, will be the dungeon master for a small game using the current 5th edition ruleset for Dungeons and Dragons, using pre-built characters. The game will start around 11 AM and run for a few hours (the plan is to run until 3ish).

Folks of all experience levels and ages are welcome, but space is limited–the first four or five people to come play will be accepted, and it’s first come, first served. We open at 10 AM on Saturday, so feel free to come in as early as that if you want to be certain you can play.

Bring dice, pencils, etc., if you like, but don’t feel obligated to! The only thing you need to bring is your imagination. However, we do have handbooks, starter kits, dice, and accessories for purchase for anyone who might be interested in materials of their own. See you then!
