Some DC Offerings for Free Comic Book Day

I take Eva and Andrew to Free Comic Book Day each year (If I can) and we have a great time. Free Comic Book day takes place each year on the first Saturday of May. This year it is May 4th. We go over to Wild Time Comics and Randy does a great job getting the store into a very festive mood. Last year was awesome because Eva was huge into the Next Avengers and she was dressed as Torunn, daughter of Thor while Randy of Wild Time was dressed as Thor, she loved it.

This year with the Superman movie being released there are some fun Man of Steel related comics coming out that day.

“The Man of Steel is set to headline Free Comic Book Day 2013 (Saturday, May 4) as SUPERMAN: LAST SON OF KRYPTON #1 will be made available by DC Comics in comic book shops across the nation while supplies last.

Free Comic Book Day - Superman: Last Son of Krypton

This book is a must-have for fans eagerly anticipating the June 14 launch of SUPERMAN UNCHAINED – the blockbuster new monthly series created by comic legends Scott Snyder and Jim Lee – as the special issue also includes an exclusive sneak peek of that forthcoming series, flying into stores the same week as the highly anticipated new film Man of Steel.

In addition, this Free Comic Book Day exclusive includes the first chapter of the classic, best-selling graphic novel SUPERMAN: LAST SON OF KRYPTON – written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner (director of Superman: The Movie), illustrated by Adam Kubert and featuring Superman’s epic battle with General Zod and the Phantom Zone villains. 


DC Nation Sampler for Free Comic Book Day 2013

For young comic fans, DC is also offering DC NATION SUPER SAMPLER #1, providing a sneak peak at two sensational series from the DC Kids line – BEWARE THE BATMAN and TEEN TITANS GO!. – this book includes two exciting, all-new stories for readers of all ages, based on new animated series coming soon to Cartoon Network’s Saturday morning DC Nation programming block from Warner Bros. Animation.”

I’ve been reading the Justice League as well as The Justice League of America since the New 52 happened. I’m really enjoying both books and love that Jim Lee is going to be working on Superman. I think that Eva will like the Teen Titans part of the DC Nation Sampler. She watches Young Justice with me and like the characters so Teen Titans would be a good fit for her.

Photo-A-Day #2862

This Sunday I’m heading to Toy Fair for a couple of days. It will be my first time at the event. I’m very excited and cannot wait to see all the great new toys for the coming year. I found a few belt buckles online that would really fit the bill for my look while checking out all those toys.

I had the Autobot symbol for a few years and the belt that ti was on ended up falling apart. It had taken me a while to get a new belt and when I was looking for belts I saw the Thundercats, Captain America and Superman buckles. I had some money in my Amazon account and so I picked them all up. I’m so happy that they arrived in time for my trip and prior to the big snowstorm that is coming tomorrow.
