Free Batman Comic and New Releases for 9-23-2015

We’ve got a few cool things going on at the shop this week. Here’s what happening for the week of Wednesday, September 23, 2015.

FIGHT CLUB 2

First, for everyone following Fight Club 2 from Dark Horse Comics and Chuck Palahniuk, issue #5 comes out this week and we’ve got special scratch and sniff cards to go with it.

monalisaThe book has been a wild ride, and has shown us what Tyler has been up to covertly for the past ten years, as well as the years before the original movie. While quite a few people will wait for the graphic novel collection of the ten issue mini series, Chuck has done his best to create incentives for people to read along periodically. One of those incentives is this limited bookmark, what has five scratch and sniff scents on it, one for each of the five issues. There’s even a contest where you have to guess the scents to win prizes. Here’s the contact information for that:

Remember, bookmarks are limited and only went to select shops in America, so we’re handing them out first come first serve with the purchase of issue #5 starting Wednesday.

MARVEL

Every so often Marvel creates $1.00 Preview Issues they call “True Believers”. The highlight of this past round is that they all featured the first issues of female characters.

princessleiaAlmost all of these books are out, so for the low price of only $10, you can start yourself out with a full set of Marvel #1’s featuring:

  • She-Hulk
  • Thor
  • Black Widow
  • Ms. Marvel
  • Spider-Gwen
  • Captain Marvel
  • Princess Leia
  • Silk
  • Squirrel Girl
  • and Spider Woman.

A great way to start a collection if you’re a female reader that’s new to the hobby, or you’d like to introduce someone in your life to some powerful female character. Ask the staff if you need help putting a set together in the shop.

BATMAN DAY

Lastly, this Saturday is ‘Batman Day’ again. After the success of last years comic book shop events, the mass market has decided to hop on board in what can only be called a loosely collected series of events and promotions set to capitalize on what should have been a one and done idea for Batman’s 75th. We have decided to opt out, however, we will be handing out FREE copies of the Batman Endgame Special Edition on Saturday.

batmanAs per DC: BATMAN: ENDGAME SPECIAL EDITION #1 is a 40-page comic that reprints the lead story from BATMAN #35, written by Scott Snyder, with art and cover by Greg Capullo and Danny Miki!

In addition, this special issue features a brand-new eight page story that leads into BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL, the new weekly series set to begin in October!

We got lots of these in, so anyone stopping in on Saturday can expect to get one. We’ll be handing out the leftovers on Sunday as well.

Oh yeah, we’ll also offer you 50% any back issues with Batman in it, as well as 20% off any Batman graphic novels all day Saturday as well.
