Free Comic Book Day 2018

Free Comic Book Day has passed for another year, making it the fifth one  I have participated in with my friend and fiancé! This year, I decided to take more photos and try to document the day a bit more so I can make a proper post about it! If you are unsure what Free Comic Book Day is, it's a day each year (first Saturday of May) where comic books all over America give away free comics that are made specifically for the day! It's a great way to get together with all your friends, see (or make) amazing cosplays, get some free comics, or even support your local comic book store by buying something if you can. Let's jump right into how my day went!

[Comic Book Review] The Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá

Forty Seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born to women who had previously shown no signs of pregnancy. Millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted seven of the children to "save the world" but doesn't explain what they're supposed to save the world from. These seven children form the Umbrella Academy, a group of misfit superheroes with bizarre powers.

[Comic Book Review] The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe by Ryan North

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is about Doreen Green (a.k.a. Squirrel Girl), who has incredible strength, can talk to squirrels, and as the name explains, is unbeatable. She has a gang of superhero friends, a squirrel sidekick named Tippy Toe, and is on texting terms with most of the Avengers but Iron Man in particular. Squirrel Girl is an amazing role model for younger readers and I honestly wish I read her as a kid because she would have been a favorite of young Heather's. She's fiercely loyal, sticks to her morals, and has all the good intentions.

[Comic Book Review] Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall by Bill Willingham

2 STARS 

Fables is a comic book series of different Grimm fairy tales with new twists to them. It's like a more depressing Once Upon a Time in comic form. In this volume alone you see some popular fables like Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast, etc. Some are big parts of the comic and others are small little nods to the stories we know and love.
