DC’s Rebirth event kicks off on Wednesday, May 25th with DC Universe: Rebirth #1, an 80-page one-shot priced at just $2.99. And Rogues Gallery will be promoting this event with a midnight release party, selling DC Rebirth #1 on Tuesday night!
But that’s not all! DC will release all their comics for the week early, including Scooby Apocalypse #1 and Justice League #50 (which reveals the Joker’s real name for the first time!) Marvel is getting in on the action too by releasing all of their comics for the week at midnight as well! Not interested in DC’s Rebirth? Come out and grab the Marvel releases for the week, including the return of Steve Rogers in Captain America: Steve Rogers #1!
Rebirth #1 has a story written by comics legend Geoff Johns with art by a lineup of superstar artists including Gary Frank, Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver and Phil Jimenez, plus a wraparound cover by Gary Frank! Attendees will get first crack at a free DC Universe: Rebirth lithograph featuring art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, as well as the chance to buy the extremely limited Ivan Reis variant cover! Since we’ll most likely only have one, maybe two, copies of this rare cover, we’ll set up a raffle system where everyone in attendance has an equal chance to be the one to buy the limited variant! We’ll also expand that raffle system so everyone has an equal chance to buy variants that week if they want to!
We’ll be having a comics party that night as well! We’ll be recording a special live installment of the Roguecast from 10 PM – 11 PM and we’d love to have our customers and fans come on to talk about their favorite comics, their thoughts on Rebirth, Captain America or whatever else they’d like to chat about!
We’ll also have a cupcakes and more, and we’ll have a table set out to demo the DC Deck-Building Game, starting at 9:00 PM when the store usually closes! So come on out and join us for a special comics event on Tuesday, May 24th!
