Comics Retailers, I wish you a fantastic Free Comic Book Day 2026. And to comics fans everywhere, despite birthdays, weddings, & graduations, steal a few moments to pop into your local comic shop of choice before close this Saturday. Because, truly, it is the Best Day of the Year

Found out yesterday this place put my DMs behind a password who knows how long ago, so I'm just now seeing messages from November. One was time sensitive. I didn't know that was a thing & don't care for it. If you have other means to reach me, please use whatever those are.

If you can see this and are not following elsewhere, consider doing it. New Comic Book Day Eve posts continue just not here.

I said when my followers, which took me years to gain organically, dipped below 3k that I would wrap up. Its 2989. I saw a glimpse outside my comics bubble of how bad this place is. "I was here first & can wait it out" pride may have to be swallowed because this is the bad place.

Today is FINAL ORDER CUTOFF for IRON MAN #1 by
@Williamson_Josh and @CarmenCarnero

I read it early and it's everything you could want and MORE from an Iron Man 1 - an epic story, over the top action, tons of heart...

This is the start of something really special - order today!

[Joshua Williamson @Williamson_Josh]

Reminder that you only have until tomorrow to pre-order your copies of IRON MAN #1!

Here's a look at the designs and interiors from the great @CarmenCarnero with colors by Nolan Woodard and letters by @JoeCaramagna!

Recently, at a meeting of the Greensboro City Council, Mayor-elect Marikay Abuzuaiter announced a resolution honoring the life of comic book artist Murphy Anderson, who grew up in Greensboro in the 1930s and lived there from 1949 until 1959.

this book is great

[Lord Retail of the Known Universe @LordRetail]

Despite the intense gore, by my standards anyways, this is is a guilty pleasure movie for me. If you haven't seen it, do check it out! There's nothing quite like this one.

Batman is lost. He'll have to face his own legacy to find his way back.

Its the Dark Knight like you've never seen him before in KNIGHTFIGHT, a critical DC K.O. tie-in from me and @Danmora_c. Order issue #1 at your comic book store before FOC TODAY!

[Lord Retail of the Known Universe @LordRetail]

A much needed pleasant surprise this week! Thanks to everyone who put the Acmename out there! It’s an honor to still represent the brand from when I was a kid until now as a store owner! What was your first Image Comic?

Heads Up! The Internet is GOING to spoil DC K.O. #1 for you. Instantly. You can't scroll past fast enough or open your app real quick. So MANY people worked very, very hard to give you an entertaining & exciting experience. Stay off everything until your copy is in your hand!

I've been asked, "What do I need to be fully prepped for DC K.O.?"

In my opinion:
DC All In Special (or graphic novel), Superman 28-30 (for Booster Gold), and this week's Justice League Omega Act. With those you are beyond hyped up for this next tent pole in the All In journey!

[Scott Snyder @Ssnyder1835]

Next Wednesday, the ultimate tournament begins...

Don't miss DC K.O. #1 from me, @Williamson_Josh & @javierfdezart!
