Free Comic Book Day 2025 at CNJComics

It’s that time of year again! Free Comic Book Day returns to Cleveland on Saturday, May 3rd, from 10 am to 7 pm! This is our 24th year hosting a Free Comic Book Day event! (yes, we’ve been doing it since its inception in 2002, when Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film came out.) Everyone attending this year will be able to pick out 12 books from the 45 titles that are being offered. We will be using the same space as last year, the old tanning salon 50 feet from the shop. This is our favorite spot we’ve ever used due to its close proximity to the store. It’s been a tough year so far, and quite a few FCBD books have been canceled due to Diamond’s bankruptcy and impending tariffs. (a vast majority of comics are printed in Canada) Rest assured, we’re on top of everything we can do and will have every available free comic book and then some. It ain’t our first rodeo, and it’s a labor of love. (Be advised, the struggle is real, though.) Here’s...

Andrea’s Freezing Picks for 04.09.2025

Hi there Comic Shop Friends! The new Free Comic Book Day 2025 prints are in, and they are FREE with any purchase. This year’s poster is an homage to Superman #233 and the artwork of Neal Adams! We dropped Superman in the iconic Cleveland Arcade as our way of paying tribute to the new movie and Cleveland’s role in it. We can’t wait to see our city shine onscreen this summer! We’ve got a lot to give away so stop by the shop and pick one up. Designed by Jameson Campbell, Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Creative Manager. Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3rd, 10am to 7pm! John sent out his email with all the details (also on our website) so check that out. We’ll be using the same storefront as last year for the FCBD room, which is where you can pick out twelve free comics and shop from all the awesome local artists and vendors! It’s one of two days, Genghis Con being the other, where I don’t stick to a budget and buy whatever I like!...

Andrea’s Resurrection Picks for 04.02.2025

Happy April, Comic Shop Friends! We were going to do an April Fool’s Day joke and tell you there were no new comics this week after last Wednesday’s massive day, but you wouldn’t have believed us. And there are some excellent books you need to pick up this week! First, thank you to everyone who came out this past Sunday for the Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss signing! We had an incredibly successful event, and were busy for the entire two hours. They mentioned how awesome our customers were so thank you for making us look good in front of the talent! Get ready for the Summer of Superman with Superman Day on Wednesday, April 9th. We’ll have three free books to give out, Jimmy Olsen’s Supercyclopedia, Superman for All Seasons #1, and All-Star Superman #1. There are a few exclusives releasing that day as well, like the Golden Age sized facsimile of Action Comics #1! Mark your calendars for April’s Late Nite Comics happening on Thursday the 17th from 8pm to midnight! And for Free Comic Book Day on...

Andrea’s Biggest Week of Picks for 03.26.2025

Hello Comic Shop Friends! Welcome to the biggest new comic book week the shop has seen in, at least, over fifteen years! It’s a doozy, and there are so many excellent books out this week! I’ll try to get as many as I can in this newsletter, but this is the week to come in the shop and peruse the new comic table! This Sunday, the 30th! From 4pm to 6pm! Matthew Rosenberg and Tyler Boss will be here for a free signing! We’ll have copies of each of their new #1s, We’re Taking Everyone Down with Us and You’ll Do Bad Things, to give out so you can get them signed. Check out the display on the counter and the Rosenberg and Boss Rec Wall row for more great stories from them! Because this week is so huge and one of our shipments came Tuesday morning, I didn’t get to read everything like I usually do, so there are some synopses for the books below.
