FREE COMIC BOOK DAY AT JETPACK COMICS!
It's that time of year again and the third official Free Comic Book for Jetpack Comics. So much fun and excitement that we're sharing it with all of Rochester and turning it a giant Festival taking place all over town.  There will be guests at a variety of locations, along with hundreds of Freebies and costumed characters.  Get special items from one of the many creators, meet Jabba the Hutt and other Star Wars characters, and visit a variety of shops in town to pick up additional free comics. 

10:00 am - The Doors open at all the venues.  Currently we'll have creators at the Knights of Columbus Hall and Jabba The Hutt, with a Star Wars cast at The Cafe at the Governor's Inn.  Be sure to stop by Jetpack Comics to pick up your map and list of participating businesses.  Of course Jetpack Comics will have hundreds of free comics to choose from and special offers galore!  After the day wraps up be sure to swing by the Old Oak Tavern to hang out with all the comic nerds!

You want to get here early so you don't miss out on the fun and swag.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY LIMITS @ Jetpack Comics - Please take your time to choose the comics and freebies that are of interest to you. There is a strict 3 FREEBIE per person or 6 FREEBIE per family limit. Of course you are welcome to pick up additional items at the cheap rate of 2/$1.00. Heck - you can't get comics that cheap anywhere so stock up. We're not trying to be cheap here - we really do have to buy these comics to give-away. - Of course there are still all kinds of other freebies to be collected all over town.
