After you see The Avengers on Friday, make a weekend out of it and stop by Pulp for the annual Free Comic Book Day!

Each major and minor comic publisher offers up free books for customers to pick up and peruse; it’s a great way to try out books and see what you like.

The store will also be running special deals on specific comic related items. Come by and check them out.

ALSO, we will be holding a special charity event alongside FCBD where customers can bring in canned food for extra FREE comics. Everyone will be allowed a 5 comic minimum, but each can of food will earn you one more comic. For instance, if you bring in 3 cans of food, you can get 8 comics.

Hope you see you all there!

Stieg Larsson’s worldwide bestseller, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, has been made into two films already, but neither of them will compare to the new Vertigo comic adaptation launching this year. But before the actually series comes out, you all will get a chance to sample it with this Wednesday’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo special sample issue. And remember, the first volume of graphic novels will be out this November.

Following in line with Dynamite‘s other recent pulp hero reworkings, such as Lord of the Jungle and Warlord of Mars, the new Shadow series is sure to be a good read. A large factor in that assumption is that Garth Ennis, author of such gruesome, disturbing series as The Boys and Crossed, will be penning the series. Each of the issues covers will also be drawn by some of the industry’s greatest artists, including John Cassady, Alex Ross, and Jae Lee. The Shadow knows…that you will buy a copy.

One of the quickest comic series of recent memory to rise to legendary status has to be The Ultimates by Mark Millar. Millar’s modern take on classic characters like Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and Hawkeye turned the book into a dynamic, drama-filled read offering versions of these characters like you’ve never read before. Many fans have read his first two volumes of that amazing series, but not as many realize he went on to write four other volumes of the book. Luckily, all four of these stories, featuring battles with vampires, Ghost Rider Vice Presidents, Australlian Hulks, and intense, city demolishing conflicts, are all collected in the new Ultimate Avengers by Mark Millar Omnibus. This oversized hardcover is the easiest way to catch up on these follow-up series, the last of which ties in with the Death of Spider-Man storyline of Ultimate Spider-Man. Grab a copy before Nick Fury redacts the entire thing.

Speaking of the Death of Spider-Man storyline, the trade paperback ships this Wednesday. Collecting the last issues of the series before the relaunch with Miles Morales, this volume details Peter’s final battle with the Green Goblin, resulting in his death. If you picked up the series and have been loving it, you owe it to yourself to pick up, not only, this volume, but the entire series.

Not only will the first issue be on sale a day early, but posters, buttons, and other memorabilia will be handed out!

An epic brawl of these proportions demands more than just cool swag, though! So, coinciding with this release Pulp will be launching a tie-in Fantasy Superhero League (think Fantasy Football, but with laser beams and capes)! Details will be posted on pfcomics.com and a separate Facebook event soon, so keep your eye-beams peeled.

Show up to Pulp on Tuesday April 3rd at 8:00pm to pick up your copy of AvX #1 by Brian Bendis and KC native Jason Aaron a day before anyone else! Then get in on the action yourself by joining the Fantasy Superhero League!

With all proceeds going to Harvesters, Pulp is holding a raffle for $1000 worth of pre-built Necron army.
