revengers disassembled:
multiverse of murder
Get ready to assemble for the most outrageous dinner party yet! Mystery Comics presents: “Revengers Disassembled: Multiverse of Murder”.
The universe’s greatest heroes have saved the world 100 times, but not without a cost. In the last epic battle, Aluminum Man died, and Captain South America gave away his shield and retired. Despite this, there are more super warriors than ever with powers that no one even needs like Polka-Dot-Woman, Mood Lighting Manipulator Man, and Squirrel Girl. A mysterious villain has had enough of “origin stories”, “powers,” and “reboots”. They are on a mission to save us from more box office failures and rid the multiverse of superheroes once and for all! To face this formidable foe, the Marvelous Cinematic Champions will have to team up with the Destructive Comics’ Super-duper Friends to tackle this hilarious whodunnit! Secrets will fly, capes will tangle, and it will take more than x-ray vision to help save the evening!
Join us in the private Bordeaux Room for a date night from another dimension! This is perfect for couples, families, besties or frenemies-because nothing is more bonding than interrogating a supreme sorcerer over salad! Book today!
Murder on 34th Street
It’s time for the 277th Annual Fakey's Holiday Parade! Department store supervisor Doris Skeptical is trying to keep everything running smoothly, but things seem to be going from bad to horribly bad. Some of the parade balloons have gotten loose, the main attraction is keeping warm at the bottom of a bottle, and her boss is on her back about sales and profits! She needs a miracle. Unfortunately, what she gets is … a murder. Someone is definitely trying to cancel the holidays.
That’s why Doris has always taught her daughter Suzie that the holidays are a sham.
But when Suzie meets some magical holiday folks that make her start to wonder if her mom has gotten it wrong about the holidays. She travels to the North Pole to try and discover the truth, but ends up in a bigger mystery than anyone could possibly imagine. Suzie has to solve the murders, help her mom, and save the holidays in “The Trial of the Century”, all while making sure everyone gets their dinner on time!
Join Suzie, The Elf on the Shelf, The Grinch, and all of your favorite holiday characters as she faces off against every single holiday bad guy ever … and lawyers … and basically everyone who doesn’t believe. We’ll convince you that there’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than at Petite Violette this holiday season!
