I finally managed not to miss Free Comic Book Day today. A neighbor told me about First Aid Comics, the only comics shop in my neighborhood a few weeks ago. So I marked the calendar and told the kids, who, as it turns out, already knew about it.
We’re a mostly manga household, so I wasn’t sure what the reaction would be to American style comic books. Well never fear, they love them! First Aid Comics isn’t a huge store, but it has a good selection and friendly staff. I bought a copy of The New Avengers #50, and got freebies Resident Evil #1, Blackest Night, and Hack/Slash Slice Hard. I was into the Avengers as a kid, so I looking forward to seeing what the New Avengers have to offer.
I’m definitely going to return in the future. I feel like I’ve been reintroduced to another part of my childhood!
