In May 2021, we reopened Phoenix’s play area to the public with a set of rules. These rules were designed to keep both our team members and our communities safe, and they have evolved over time. Today (May 17, 2023) we’re announcing a new set of policies that we plan to put into place beginning June 2, 2023.
Free Comic Book Day is here again! This year’s celebration of our national comic book store holiday will take place May 6, 2023 and last all day long. From when we open at 10 AM until we close at 9 PM, you’ll have an opportunity to partake of up to four tables full of a bounty of free comics. We’ll also be hosting local comic creators signing copies of their works and for the first time this year a trivia contest too!
