Free Comic Book Day this Saturday!

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Just wanted to share with you that this Saturday (May 6) is Free Comic Book Day!  If you go to your local comic book store you can get some free comics (published specifically for this day)!  Each store has a different way of doing things but it is a fun way to get introduced into comic book culture if you are interested.  Below you can see the details from the comic book store that I go to.  It is usually good to get there early as at some stores this is a big event!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and if you go to Illusive, say hi if you see me! 😀
