LOCAL NEWS - Star Wars Celebration!
Howdy!
I was blessed to be invited to a sneak preview of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR last evening. After a
slow start (which consisted mostly of angry superheroes bickering over a new law...) the movie took
off with the introduction of the new Spider-Man. He is awesome! I will only say that the fight scene
that followed was, by itself, worth the price of admission.
CAPTAIN AMERICA FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
As has happened for the past several years, Marvel's new movie release is timed to coincide with this
year's Free Comic Book Day. FCBD will be held this Saturday, starting at 8 AM at our
Glendale location,
and 9 AM at our
Jason St.
and
Lakewood
stores. We purchased 20,000+ of the
50 FCBD variants
produced
for this year to give away on Saturday, but if the advance order demand that we are already seeing from
our online clients is any indication, we still did not order enough copies. Need I say more?
Empress 43 Norrie Reynolds and Emperor 43 Manual Sexton
I am posting all the details for this year's FCBD celebrations at
Mile High Comics
for you at the end
of this newsletter, but before I go I need to quickly cover a couple more topics. First, Empress 43 Norrie
Reynolds, and Emperor 43, Manny Sexton of the
Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire
will be running
a special booth in the back of the
Jason St. Mega-Store
on Saturday where you can pick up additional FCBD
editions, or even request an entire set of all 50, in exchange for donations. They will also be hosting a
benefit bake sale that day.
BOOM STUDIOS 2016 SUMMER BLAST FCBD
Based upon our initial commitments of volunteers from the
ICRME,
however, I am doubting that we will have
enough baked goods, or enough people to effectively man the ICRME booth all day. If you could possibly bring
in a baked goods contribution, or volunteer to help give out FCBD comics for a little while on Saturday, I
promise you that Norrie and Manny would appreciate your help very much. Just show up on Saturday at
Jason St.,
and seek me out. I will then introduce you to Norrie and Manny, and they will make sure you have fun! All of
the donations received for the additional copies (and for the baked goods) will then go to the
White Rose Scholarship Fund,
which helps students of limited means stay in college or trade school.
White Rose
will be giving our $16,000 in scholarship grants in three weeks from last year's events...
DOCTOR WHO: FOUR DOCTORS FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
My final item for today is a plug for an awesome STAR WARS event that is happening tonight (Wednesday) at
Jason St.
If you have the time to stop by this evening, I promise that you will have fun!
501st Legion

2) Empress 43 Norrie Reynolds, and a team of
Imperial Court
members, will then be offering additional FCBD
tickets at
Jason St.
in exchange for $1 donations. All of the money generated from these donations will go to the
White Rose Scholarship Fund,
which helps low income students remain in college. We raised over $8,000 for six deserving students at
Mile High Comics
through White Rose
during last year's Reign 42! If you really want to help this cause, a $40 donation to White Rose will earn you
a COMPLETE SET! of all 50 of the standard FCBD editions, plus a copy of our exclusive Mile High Comics
DC SUPERHERO GIRLS variant edition.

3) Another way to qualify for more FCBD tickets is by purchasing items through
our stores
over this next week,
starting today. For every $10 you spend with us, you will receive another FCBD ticket. This offer will also be
in effect on May 7th, so if you want to take advantage of our great specials that day, you will also receive
FCBD tickets on purchases that you make on FCBD. Here are our in-store discounts for May 7th:

SUICIDE SQUAD FREE COMIC BOOK DAY
My final bit of news for FCBD is that we will have a special team in place in the back of
Jason St.
specifically
tasked with searching our mail order inventory for special requests from our store visitors. If you have ever seen
something offered for sale on our
website
and wished that you could just buy it on the spot, next Saturday will
provide you with a golden opportunity. Bring your want list of comics that we offer on our website, and we'll pull
them for you while you wait! At the end of the day, this is the single most important benefit to you of our having
merged our online operations into Jason St.
