Happy Free Comic Book Day! If you’re reading this on Wednesday, we’re only three days away from FCBD 2026! This Saturday, May 2nd! FCBD kicks off at 10am! It’s our 25th year of Free Comic Book Day! We have over forty titles to give out, and you can choose twelve from that. They’ll be sorted by All Ages, Teen, and Adult on the tables, so you can pick what’s appropriate. Check out the available titles here: https://www.freecomicbookday.com/comics and here: https://prhcomics.com/2025/12/16/comicsgiveawayday2026/ We’ll have the FCBD posters to give away while supplies last, so you have something to get signed by Dave Michelinie! The first 200 people in line will receive a free copy of the Venom Lethal Protector: Heart of the Hunted graphic novel written by our guest of honor David Michelinie! Michelinie will be signing one item for free from 10am to 6pm! If you’d like more than one signature, they are $10 each and that gets donated to David’s local cat charity, Purring Pals! Make sure to check out all the local artists and creators in the FCBD room...

Hey Comic Shop Friends! It isn’t a big week for new comics, but we have plenty going on to get you into the shop! This Wednesday, the 15th at 8pm, I’ll be co-hosting Guilty Pleasurable trivia with Rachel at Never Say Dive in Old Brooklyn!

We’ll also have a box of free comics for everyone there! Rachel hosts trivia there once a month, and I always have a great time going, so come out and see what it’s about!

Hello hello Comic Shop Friends! What a week we have for you! This Saturday and Sunday, we’re running a Winston World Sale! Somehow, we forgot about Winston World, which we usually run during FanExpo Cleveland, oops. Winter is over, we’re doing some spring cleaning, and you’re getting all the deals!  Stop in the shop on Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th for our yearly March sale before the month ends! You’ll be able to get 50% off all back issues, including the wall. You’ll also be able to buy in-shop dollar stock for only 50 cents each with no qualifier. We won’t be bringing extra stock in, so it’s limited to what’s already in the store, but you never know what you’ll find in there! We’ll also give 50% off our already discounted graphic novel bins. To be clear, only the sale graphic novels, as we need to clear out a little space in there. We also need to clear out our storage locker a bit, so for the first time we’ll be offering $75 “blind bag” long boxes....
