An ICv2 Release.  ICv2 is launching Game Store Week, a week of special content focused on the stores that drive the games business, with content about and for game stores, and on the programs and services that support them.  ICv2’s Game Store Week is sponsored by Gamegenic, Dark Horse Comics, and Asmodee.

“Independent game stores are the engine that drives the hobby games business, where new games are nurtured, where gamers find fellow players, and where game backlist and the aftermarket are based,” ICv2 CEO Milton Griepp said in a statement accompanying the announcement.  “We wanted to turn our focus toward those stores, which are the lifeblood of the industry.  We want to thank Gamegenic, Dark Horse, and Asmodee for supporting our first Game Store Week event.”
