Comic book and graphic novel fans unite! Free Comic Book Day takes place on Saturday, May 4 when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into the store. Toledo comic stores are in on the action, with two separate store fronts hosting events. First up is JC’s Comic Shop on 5329 Hill Avenue, which will have a sale on back issues, action figures, graphic novels, posters, and t-shirts (basically anything but new issues of comics.) Proprietor Jim Collins says that the store will be moving by summer’s end, “so make sure to come in and grab that special item you want before we relocate.” Over at Monarch Cards & Comics at 4400 Heatherdowns Blvd., the store will offer free cookies and pizza early in the day while supplies last, as well as free comic day material out on the rack. Don’t miss their store promotion at Levis Commons on Friday, May 4 from 6:30-11pm, where they will pass out free material in support of the Iron Man 3 premier. Free. May 4.
