Last weekend was Free Comic Book Day. Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May, when comic book stores have free comics to take home. I try to participate in Free Comic Book Day every year, with the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic or if I’m out of town for the weekend. I wanted to share my comic book stop along with my massive comic haul.

The weather on Free Comic Book Day was gorgeous! It was sunny, 70 degrees, and a blowing breeze, which was a nice balance with the sun. I visited my local store, Hot Comics and Collectibles, at their Minneapolis location. Since it was nice out, the free comics were on tables outside to peruse. I took a few titles that caught my eye before wandering inside.

I won’t share every single comic I bought because it was a huge stack. Instead, I wanted to share the most exciting purchase of the day. After browsing through the recent comics selection, I meandered through the back issues. In most comic book stores, there are long white boxes of comics from storylines that are a couple of years old. Since I’m in my Star Wars May plan, I was only looking for Star Wars comics. As I picked through the Star Wars comics, I found a complete series of Star Wars: Poe Dameron in single issues! I was so happy! I am missing a few issues, but for the most part, it’s the complete series. I’m looking forward to reading this series this month.

Free Comic Book Day was a success! I have a huge stack of Star Wars comics to dig into, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Let me know what you picked up at Free Comic Book Day in the comments section below.
