Happy Belated Halloween all! Yeah yeah yeah…this post is a tad late, but you still have a great chance at scoring these awesome & FREE comic books at your local comic shop if you rush there asap! Lets dive in, shall we?
In honor of the spooky holiday that just passed & aimed with hooking new readers and fans, Marvel has teamed up with comic shops all across the land to pass out 5 groovy issues to start you on your comic loving journey.
Most shops will have these books available, although some may require a purchase or some other means to get it. At our shop Conquest Comics in Bayville, New Jersey…we just popped em out on the counter for anyone to snag if they wished. But be forewarned, your market may vary. Before I showcase the selection and dive in deeper, I’d like to recommend that anyone dashing to your local shop to scoop these up to please support said shop by making a purchase. Any kind will do, even if only a few bucks. That behavior goes a long way in having shops actively want to support these types of promotional events.
If you aren’t sure where your local comic shop is, hop on over to this site and search your area.

These events are a great way to check out something new & exciting. So I highly recommend snagging some for yourself or your kids. If you are terribly unlucky and don’t have a shop in your area that’s participating but really want a set, I got ya covered. I have a spare set or two I can send out FREE of charge (if located in the US). If you are international and still want a set, I got ya covered but you’ll have to cover shipping. Just hit me up in the comments here and we can figure it all out.
Thanks for taking sone time to spend here. It’s always appreciated!
