The new Free Comic Book Day 2025 prints are in, and they are FREE with any purchase. This year’s poster is an homage to Superman #233 and the artwork of Neal Adams! We dropped Superman in the iconic Cleveland Arcade as our way of paying tribute to the new movie and Cleveland’s role in it. We can’t wait to see our city shine onscreen this summer! We’ve got a lot to give away so stop by the shop and pick one up. Designed by Jameson Campbell, Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Creative Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3rd, 10am to 7pm! John sent out his email with all the details (also on our website) so check that out. We\u2019ll be using the same storefront as last year for the FCBD room, which is where you can pick out twelve free comics and shop from all the awesome local artists and vendors! It\u2019s one of two days, Genghis Con being the other, where I don\u2019t stick to a budget and buy whatever I like! Our local artists need our support more than ever, so please pick up something from them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bumblebee will be making another appearance here on FCBD from 10am to 1pm! Grab a pic with The Bee, and look for other cosplay groups in attendance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll also have 50% off all back issues, and we\u2019ve been stocking up on great all-ages books, so you\u2019ll be able to find something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n

The Amazing Spider-Man is alive and thwapping! Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz are putting Peter Parker through the wringer with\u2026 a job hunt?! It\u2019s not going well, and it gets even worse when the only good prospect Peter has is interrupted by Rhino on a rampage. Something is wrong with Aleksei, and that\u2019s just the start, as a major Spider-Man villain is secretly weaponizing other villains. In the backup story by Joe Kelly and John Romita Jr., find out what Goblin-free Norman Osborn is up to! This is Marvel\u2019s big one this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their powers switched, Fire and Ice\u2019s return to the Justice League is cut short, and they return to Smallville to regroup. Ice cannot control her new fire powers, and isn\u2019t sure how to use them in a non-destructive way. Fire has more control over the ice crystals, but is mostly just using them to put out Ice\u2019s fires. Feeling more like menaces than heroes, Fire has a plan, but her idea of a quick fix becomes complicated. Can the duo switch their powers back? Maybe when Hell freezes over! Written by Joanne Starer, with art by Stephen Byrne.<\/p>\n\n\n

Speaking of freezing over\u2026 an ice-cold two-part story featuring art by Marcos Martin, with the introduction of the Absolute Universe\u2019s Mr. Freeze! Scott Snyder nails it again, as he begins to reveal the connections between the Ark M experiment, a young scientist named Victor Fries, and Matches Malone. This one gets creepy, with a hint of body horror, and if you want to finally jump in, this is a great issue to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Millar, with artist Per Berg, have a new three-issue mini-series, about a world overrun by vampires! The United States has fallen in one night. Vampires have killed almost every human, taking a select few that can help them achieve their master plan. When the vampire horde makes their way to Vatican City, a Swiss Guard recruit may be the only one standing between the tourists trapped behind the city walls, and the millions of vampires outside. The suck heads will wait forever, but how long can the humans hold out?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
