BRAIN ACTIVITY
Green Brain's weekly e-mail newsletter for the week of July 6, 2020
Free Comic Book Summer
is Coming!

Free Comic Book Day, is traditionally scheduled to take place the first Saturday in May each year. However, the impact and spread of COVID-19 prevented the event from being celebrated at its normal time this year.

Now, the beloved event has been rescheduled and reworked to take place throughout July and early September effectively making it Free Comic Book Summer!

Starting Wed, July 15th we will be getting a few Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) books each week!
  • You can get one FCBD book just for stopping by!
  • Get a second FCBD book with any purchase.
  • Get more FCBD comics with monetary donations to select charities like Friends for the Animals Metro Detroit. 
This repeats every week with new FCBD books each week!*

(*while supplies last, terms subject to change)

DOODLEVILLE
KNOPF BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS

(W/A/CA) Chad Sell

Drew is just a regular artist. But there's nothing ordinary about her art. Her doodles are mischievous... and rarely do they stay in Doodleville, the world she's created in her sketchbook. Instead, Drew's doodles prefer to explore the world outside.

But after an inspiring class trip to the Art Institute of Chicago, where the doodles cause a bit too much trouble, Drew decides it's time to take her artistic talents to the next level. Enter the Leviathan. He's bigger and better than anything Drew has ever created before. He's a monster, but a friendly one. That is, until he begins to wreak havoc on Drew's other doodles-and on the heroes her classmates have dreamt up!

Join the incredible creative duo of writer/artist Sweeney Boo (Marvel Action: Captain Marvel) and writer Lylian (Ellana) on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and just a bit of magic.
