The Portal Comics and Gaming

Welcome to the Portal

For those of you not familiar with The Portal, we are a local gaming store located in Bethlehem. Established in 2004 by my partners and I, all of which have been die-hard gamers for years. The Portal is a gaming store by gamers for gamers.

Over the next few months The Portal will be bringing you a fresh new look to our web site, forums, lots of events and more web content. A complete restock of Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Magic the Gathering, Warmachine and Hordes provides an excellent selection for our customers to choose from and a reason for all gamers in the Lehigh Valley to check us out for the first time. A heartfelt thanks goes out to all our customers who have been with us from the beginning and the many who have joined us since. Thanks to all of you for nearly four years of business. Just remember one thing...

When it comes to games,
we don't play around!

Summer Hours

As the days grow longer as we approach summer, so will the days at The Portal. We are putting our summer hours into effect Monday May 4. At this time all our weekday hours (Monday-Thrusday) will be extended to 9pm. Check the Hours menu on the left to see our new schedule and our Holiday closings.

World of Warcraft CCG

The World of Warcraft CCG is another in a long line of collectible card games. For the fans of the on-line World of Warcraft game this game should be a perfect fit. Due to the increased interest in World of Warcraft CCG events we have replaced our Naruto and Dragon Ball Z Sunday game slot with WOW. Sanctioned tournaments will be held at 2pm on Sundays.

New Forums

Our forums have been received very well, so well in fact that two additional ones have been added. A forum dedicated solely to Magic: the Gathering, complimenting our new pre-release events. Another more general forum to cover all other CCGs has also been added. If you have a topic or interest that would merit its own forum please send me an e-mail with your request to The Crew.

Graphic Novels & Trade Paperbacks

Don't forget we have the best deals on Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks in the Lehigh Vally. All of our trades and graphic novels are always 20% off the cover price. Once again, this is not a sale, simply the best deal around.

40K 'Ard Boyz

The Portal will be proudly hosting its first Warhammer 40K 'Ard Boyz Tournament at the Nancy Run Fire Company. Therefore there will be plenty of space for tables, in addition food and drink will be available for sale. The top three (3) players from this event go on to the semi-finals. Check out our forums and Games-Workshop for more details on this event.

Pre-release Events

The Nancy Run Fire Company is our new location for holding our regularly scheduled pre-release events. Two major pre-releases will be taking place in the next few months: Magic 2010 Core Release and Zendikar. Come join us on Sunday July 12th and September 27th for these two exciting events.
