This year on Thanksgiving weekend (for the US), comics retailers have declared Saturday, November 28 “Local Comics Shop Day,” and Marvel is here to help. If you haven’t already picked up their two offerings, it’s a perfect time to try them out. My prediction for both All-New Wolverine and All-New, All-Different Avengers is that they’re going to go through the roof in sales before these variant covers get thrown into the mix. So… if you’re into variant covers, you’ll want to be at your comics shop that Saturday.
But who am I kidding? You were going to be there anyway. And if you need to FIND your local comics shop, go here.
