Every year, comic book stores around the country open their doors to the celebration on the first Saturday in May. This year, I visited two shops: Meltdown Comics and Golden Apple, both in West Hollywood.
A few issues are given out for free, made specifically for this day with the intention to turn you on to new comics, promote a new comic book movie, whatever. David Peterson, the artist behind 'Mouse Guard,' was also on hand for some autographs. Here's the stash we picked up this year:
But I also took this opportunity to support my local comic book store and not buy online at Amazon like I usually do. I decided I need to finish off some of the series I'm in the middle of, thus I picked up the last books of 'Preacher' and 'Ex Machina.' 'Fables' and 'The Walking Dead' are still in production, and I have quite awhile until I catch up. Also picked up some single books we've been interested in. My collection is starting to get a little too big though. Gotta make some room on the shelves...
