Free Comic Book Day 2018 at CNJComics

It’s time to share all the information on this year’s 17th Annual Free Comic Book Day! This will be the most comprehensive event we’ve put together yet, and the first time we’ll be flying out a creator, the legendary JIM STERANKO! Our FCBD event is not just a celebration of the culture, it’s a celebration of our City. We embrace our local communities, from artists to cosplay to comic book collectors and readers. This event could not exist anywhere else because it is so very Cleveland. We also try to create an event that brings generations of fans together, with something for both new and old alike. We love a good story and we love shared experiences. The appearance of Steranko adds a new twist to the mix and gives our event a bit of direction. This is also the year of Avengers Infinity War, where we will see the culmination of years of MCU movies. Participation this year by local artists is at an all-time high! We have scores of local artists ready to sell their stuff while doing free...

Last Minute Easter Shopping at CNJComics

Last Minute Easter Shopping at CNJComics

Just a quick note to remind you that we’ll be closed on Easter Sunday, but we’re ready for a full shopping day on Saturday! We just got a new shipment of Superhero Pop Funs, which fit perfectly in Easter Baskets. Well, this Venompool one might be a bit too much, but you get the idea. We restocked with a focus on Diamond Exclusives, which means ones you can only get in a local comic book shop.  Here, this is better. Angry Superman. Probably angry at Batman or something.  We also have Superhero Digest books, as well as Superhero Early Reader books, again compact enough for that basket.  Magnets, pins and of course GIFT CERTIFICATES always work great too.  For this week’s new releases we have four important books hitting the table just before the end of Q1. The conclusion of Dark Nights Metal with issue #6. Another issue of Doomsday Clock, along with reprints of all the previous issues to catch you up. We also have copies of all six issues of Batman White Knight by Sean Murphy, which turned out to...
