Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 2















Saturday, May 2 is Free Comic Book Day here in les etats unis.

Two stores here in North Carolina are preparing for the event.

Acme Comics in Greensboro will host several artists including Jonathan Hickman, Mark Morales, Mike Choi, Chris Samnee and Sean McKeever_ among others.

While Chapel Hill Comics which is (of course) in Chapel Hill, NC, will be giving out comic books with characters that include Sonic the Hedgehog, Wolverine, The Green Lantern, and The Savage Dragon (who endorsed Barack Obama! We imagine this really ticked off Bill O'Reilly).

Tomorrow happens to be Record Store Day. Like comic book stores, record stores have also hit hard times in recent years as just one (Plan 9) closed in my hometown of Roanoke, Va.

It should be noted that we found a great photo of a silly-looking man dressed like Sonic the Hedgehog, but we were sadly unable to post it here for your viewing pleasure.
