Free Comic Book Summer
is Here!

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 Gleaners Community Food Bank
This repeats every week with new FCBD books each week!*
 
Stop in this Week to get Your Free Comics!

(*while supplies last, terms subject to change)

Middle Grade
PICK of the WEEK

ACT
HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT

(W/A) Kayla Miller

 How do you know when the person who can make the difference . . .  is you? Olive is excited to start sixth grade: new teachers, new experiences, and a field trip to the big city with her best buds! But when Olive finds out that a school policy is keeping some kids from going on the trip, she decides to act. She's prepared to do whatever it takes to be heard-even if it means running against Trent and Sawyer, two of her closest friends, in the student council election!

Can Olive make a big change and keep her friends? Author-illustrator Kayla Miller crafts a genuine and inspiring story about evolving friendships, supportive family, and finding out that you-yes, you-have the power to make a difference. Available in softcover and hardcover editions.

It's almost New Comic Book Day!


Below is the entire list of new comics & graphic novels that will be hitting the shelves this Wednesday at Green Brain Comics.

But first, a little bit about this exciting new series from Vault Comics.

SHADOW SERVICE #1
VAULT COMICS
(W) Cavan Scott (A) Corin Howell (and three beautiful covers to choose from)
Worried your partner is cheating? Need a missing person found? Gina Meyers is the Private Investigator for you. Sure, she's a witch who worries that her powers make her more of a monster than the crooks she's trying to catch, but it's not like London's criminal underworld is literally going to hell... is it? Spy craft meets black magic in the shadowy world of MI666.
