Halloween Comic Fest is almost here!

It’s finally Fall and that means pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice beer, and pumpkin spice deodorant, right? No. No. No! It means it is time for Halloween Comic Fest and free comic books from your local comic shop!

Every year, local comic book stores around the country open their doors to avid readers and hand out free comic books to anyone who wants them. The event typically takes place the Saturday before Halloween and gives people a reason to get out and explore their local shops. This year, the event takes place on October 27, 2018. Most stores not only hand out the free comic books, but also have a variety of other activities going on such as costume contests, sales, artist appearances, and much more.

All of the major publishers like DC, Marvel, IDW, and Dark Horse have some great books for you to pick up this year. There are mini comics for the kids and even some full-size comics for the adults. Most of the shops participating in the event may not have every comic available during the event, so it is best to call ahead and see what your shop has to offer. Or, better yet, visit all of the local shops and support nerd culture.

What’s Halloween without costumes, right? Well, you are also encouraged to dress up when you visit your local shop and take part in The Greatest Halloween Costume Contest Ever! All you have to do is take a picture of yourself in your costume holding one of the free comics from this year’s event and you could win a shopping spree at your local shop or other cool prizes. Check out the official rules here.The entire list of comics is available here:
