BRAIN ACTIVITY
Green Brain's weekly e-mail newsletter for the week of July 13, 2020
Grant Funding Campaign Launched

We have been chosen for a great opportunity to raise funds and have every dollar matched with a grant from the MEDC (Michigan Economic Development Corporation)!

The funds raised will go towards our recovery from the state mandated shutdown (from March 22 - May 26) to help stop the spread of COVID19.

Help us spread the word! Consider sharing our grant funding campaign to your social media.

*If you have already donated to Green Brain through the web store, your donation had been applied to this campaign and will be doubled!*
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) 

***
Free Comic Book Summer Officially Kicks off with X-Men by Hickman!!

X-Men #1 (FCBD 2020)
(W) Hickman (A) Pepe Larraz

FCBD is headlined by a brand new X-Men story by Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz that will lead into a game-changing summer for all of X!  Plus: a secret second story foreshadowing an upcoming epic tale by Tom Taylor and Iban Coello.

PICK of the WEEK

FENCE RIVALS
BOOM! STUDIOS

(W) C.S. Pacat (A/CA) Johanna the Mad

* The GLAAD Award nominated series
* Fence returns as a graphic novel series as best-selling novelist C.S. Pacat (Captive Prince) and popular online sensation Johanna The Mad present the next all-new thrilling chapter of the Kings Row fencing team!
* Just as Nicholas, Seiji and the fencing team at the prodigious Kings Row private school seem to be coming together, a deadly rival from their past stands in their way once more. MacRobertson is the school that knocked Kings Row out of the State Championships last year - but unless Nicholas and Seiji can learn to work together as a team, their school is doomed once again! And maybe those two can learn to be something more than teammates too...

GRAPHIC NOVEL
PICK of the WEEK

PAYING THE LAND
METROPOLITAN BOOKS

(W/A/CA) Joe Sacco

The Dene have lived in the vast Mackenzie River Valley since time immemorial, by their account. To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being.

But the subarctic Canadian Northwest Territories are home to valuable resources, including oil, gas, and diamonds. With mining came jobs and investment, but also road-building, pipelines, and toxic waste, which scarred the landscape, and alcohol, drugs, and debt, which deformed a way of life.
