Ssalefish GSO First Look #224 for 8.18.21
This year’s Free Comic Book Day will obviously look different with Guilford County’s indoor mask mandate going back into effect on Friday, but we’re going to bring as much of the fun you’ve come to expect to the biggest day in the industry!
FREE Comics! - choose up to 8 of the 55 available FCBD titles from the tent outside!
SALE! - Buy 2 Get 1 FREE on everything in the store except recent, unbagged & boarded comics, comic supplies, and the Backwall! Ssalefish Rewards cannot be redeemed or earned on sale items, and sale purchases must consist of 3 items from the sale category (i.e. 3 graphic novels, 3 toys, 3 back issues, etc.), so no mixing & matching, but you can make as many sale purchases as you’d like!
FREE Raffle Tickets! - pick up your first ticket with your free comics and get an additional ticket for every $10 you spend in the store! Winners will be drawn at least each hour on the hour (all entries will be new each time) and all prizes will be valued at at least $50!
FREE Face-Painting! - Munchie & Me does amazing work that are sure to get the superhero of any age into the spirit of the day!
$1 Comics! - 5,000 never-before-shopped books from brand-new collections!
Exclusive Merchandise! - including 1:100 and 1:500 variants to DC’s Batman and Suicide Squad King Shark offerings and Mirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles boxed sets!
And if you can’t get enough of the Power Rangers after our Jason Faunt and Jason David Frank appearances in Greensboro, you can visit Colton and Rorrie D. Travis, the Red Ranger from Power Rangers Beast Morphers, at the Concord store!
Of the Free Comic Book Day titles, I’m of course partial to the High Republic Adventures (first appearance of Ram Jomaram) and Balance manga preview, but others like the Something is Killing the Children spin-off Enter the Slaughterhouse and Donny Cates’s first issue of Incredible Hulk & Al Ewing’s first issue of Venom are sure to pique your interest for upcoming new releases!
