Celebrating inside and then unsettled again to wrap up the work week karen bell over to you.

Thanks christine is that today perhaps the biggest day of the year for comic book stores and fan, right it's free comic book day it's a national event held on the first saturday of may and joining us now is john hone.

>>of j f comics thank you for joining home of a solo today.

There you go.

>>so it is free comic book day so.

>>come in any of the stores and most of the stores in the valley all offer the free comic book day.

We have over a 1000 comments were going to give away there's 5150 ish different titles.

Coming in store many as you want one of each.

So you can walk out of the store with 50 plus comics it's really nice.

Now john i'm not a business major, but i would say giving away a 1000 free comic books, not the best business plan so we do get discount but we still pay form.

Me personally i look at it as a marketing opportunity so that money just as part of our marketing budget for the year.

We plan ahead, you know we order these books in january.

So thank you said this is actually a really big selling day for you guys as well because it brings people into the store it's kind of our black friday.

You know it's it's the black friday of the comic book world because so many people come out to get their free comics that we see i see comic book guys in our store every week and then there's guys that we see once year coming off a they pick up their books by couple things you know and then when they will see you next year.

>>they have a couple here that you brought with you and these are part of the free come day they they say on their free comic books of this is spiderman.

>>that's one of us in the spider-man is actually going to be part of a new series that's coming out.

So this is introducing some new information about the new venom series with the avengers right any marvel air.

So i mean john you know all the success of these comic book movies over the past decade is that really translated into big business for stores like yours, absolutely absolutely into what it comes down to is is you've got people that weren't comic book fans when they were kids all the sudden going all these movies and saying wow this is this is great, you know these are worth what stories can i get involved in maybe tell me what's going to happen next in the marvel universe.

>>and it's also you know summer's coming up day was have that slump with the kids and the reading so creek is you have them for all age of 50 have been for kids all the way up through adults, you know depending on the genre but you crate waited to for as like a little summer president we see a lot of that happened will see families bringing their kids and over the summer to try to give him something else to do some other options.

>>and then we'll see them continue.

You know he sees on drop-off because you can set up as it's like a subscription service.

So you come in feel like this, you know the star wars in the spider-man book you chose you can get every month and she just stop in the store.

You pick it up it's waiting for you so it's it's kind of a fun.

Speaking of star wars, this is one of the one of the options is a star wars adventures, yes, so this one is actually a more child friendly.

So some of the other starters books that that marvel offers ominous actually done by dw but some of the marvel once.

Round well more teen to a dull where this one is actually designed specifically for younger readers, they have to be on there with peter mayhew just passing away to i'm sure that's going to be a popular absolutely ocular pack.

So you have 2 locations, you're at the trolley station mall and the all that.
