EVENTS FOR FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2008 on SATURDAY MAY 3rd -UPDATED with SALES

Four Days and counting... Read the story to see the sales for Saturday. We have some fantastic guests at our Downtown Store this year so plan on battling the traffic. Here is the latest news of what Downtown Comics is doing next week.

Thursday May 1st (8pm - Midnight)

United Artists Theatre Galaxy 14 (96th st and I-65 in Fishers)

We will have a table set up for the midnight showing of IRON MAN. We will have posters, buttons, stickers, and comics to give away as well as TICKETS. CONTEST: Starting now the first 15 people to post a comment to this article will win a ticket for 2 to the midnight showing. You have to come to the theatre to get your ticket by 11pm (the movie starts at 11:59) or we will start giving them away to the patrons. This is an open showing not a screening, it may sell out, so the earlier the better. If you are planning to just come anyway, stop by our table (we may have more tickets to give away).

Friday May 2nd (9am-9:30am)

WXNT 1430am Abdul in the morning

Yours truly (Mike) will join Abdul during his goof off hour to discuss Free Comic Book Day, the Iron Man movie, and whatever else he can think of. This will be my second appearance on the radio and hopefully I won't embarrass myself (that's a good reason to tune in by the way). BONUS CONTEST - A $15 gift card from me to whoever posts the when, where and what for that was my first radio appearance.

SATURDAY May 3rd(11am - 8pm) (6pm at the Downtown store)

FREE Comics from our publisher friends all day while they last. BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY.

CHILDREN's MUSEUM -- If you haven't heard the children's museum is opening their brand new comic book exhibit today.

We are proud to be a small part of this exhibit and I will be hanging out there all day talking to kids and handing out comics.

Whew, busy days. Plan accordingly and we hope to see everyone at one or more of our special events next week. Spread the word.

Comment by Lamont Cranston on April 24, 2008 at 8:41pm: Midnight? Ugh, can't you have an early afternoon showing for us old folks? Something around 2pm so I can still make the early-bird special by 4:30 at the local buffet?

Blog@ Q&A: Ivan Brunetti

I’ve read enough bad or lackluster anthologies over the years to know it’s not something you can just slap together. It takes real editorial vision and guidance to put together a solid collection of work, whether you’re talking about new material or older reprints. Which is my roundabout way of saying just how impressed I am [...]

Long live Smallville’s Legion?

If IMDB is to be believed, we now know the identities of Smallville’s teen-agers from the future. The Kryptonsite fan site points out that the entry for the Geoff Johns-written “Legion” episode has been updated with 25-year-old Ryan Kennedy as Cosmic Boy, and 17-year-old Calum Worthy as Lightning Lad. They join 22-year-old Canadian actress/pop singer Alexz [...]

Neveldine, Taylor drop out of Jonah Hex

Jonah Hex has survived the Civil War, countless gunfights and a trip into the far-flung future. But can he endure that dreaded Hollywood menace known as “creative differences”? Variety reports the Crank team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have dropped out as directors of the Warner Bros. adaptation, which was announced in July 2007. The reason [...]

An update on Carla and Lance

It’s Wednesday, which would typically mean Carla Hoffman’s The Fifth Color column would have been posted today if last week’s tragedy hadn’t occurred. Carla and her husband Lance suffered severe burns in the Tea Fire in the Santa Barbara, Calif. area last week. I want to say thanks to everyone who has commented [...]

One last poster (we swear!) for The Spirit

There appears to be some sort of competition between Warner Bros. and Lionsgate to see which studio can churn out the most posters for one movie. Warner Bros. is winning with Watchmen, but it’s not for lack of trying on Lionsgate’s part. Anyway, Cinematical has the roughly 173rd, and supposedly final, poster for Frank Miller’s adaptation [...]
