It’s the first new comic book day of May, swing by the shop to grab some good reads to guide you through the rest of the week. If you missed out on Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki’s acclaimed series Assorted Crisis Events, the first seven issues have new printings released today, it’s a great opportunity to grab those issues before issue #9 drops.
We are open until 7 today, and 11-7 Thursday through Saturday, so drop by the shop and see us this week.

What a great #freecomicbookday 2026 at Ash Ave Comics in Tempe! From what I hear, it might be their best #fcbd yet. I had a blast with Drew, Evan and Gabe and it was awesome getting to meet everybody that came through this year. I only planned on staying until 5PM but ended up closing up shop with Drew because we were having such a fun time with everyone. Already looking forward to next year...
PS I've added the new 12 page COLOR Turtles VS Cats work in progress preview editions to my shop (links in Bio), along with the new blank Predator VS Boba Fett variants and a few original 1/1 pages and for a limited time EVERY order comes with a FREE Turtles VS Cats ashcan comic! You can now also specify signed with COA (no charge) or unsigned when ordering any item in the store 👍

Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow at Ash Avenue Comics, with nearly four dozen titles to choose from, publishers have offered a mix of original content, previews, and reprints this year. There’s plenty of titles for different ages of readers: we have age appropriate comics for kids, as well as comics for teens, and there’s also releases for a mature and adult audience as well. Have any questions about age appropriate comics for Free Comic Book Day? Feel free to ask our staff for assistance.
Cartoonist Billy Goodman is back this year, with an Ash Ave Comics exclusive FCBD edition of his latest comic, and he second part of his MF DoomWar bootleg epic. He has a full color preview edition of Bootleg Comics #4, and black and white mini comic edition, and some other tricks up his sleeve with some new editions of the previously, and long sold out, earlier issues.
Last but not least, the shop sale. We will be open from 10 Am to 7 PM, and we are doing our 20% off sale from 10 AM to 4 PM. Once again be doing door prizes! Just like the last few years, the first person in line, the one who was first at the shop on Saturday morning, gets the big prize, a 35% discount on their purchase. The second person in line gets 30% off their purchase, and the third person in line edges out the rest with 25% off their purchase. When it comes to the line: no cheats or cutting. The sale does not apply to this week’s new comics, items already on hold, consignment items, and items already marked down on sale.
Running through the mental checklist, and I think that about covers it. We can’t wait to see all of you in the shop on Saturday for Free Comic Book Day 2026!

I had some fun sorting through titles from “books about comics” shelf, and pulled some under appreciated and out of print titles to showcase here. Lots of cool, older titles about the EC Comics artists, and small press and underground cartoonists. These titles are a real delight for any fan looking to delve deeper into comics history. Most of these titles are cover price, but a couple are a little pricier as they’re long out of print and can be hard to find. We are open until 5 today, swing by and wrap up the weekend with us at Ash Avenue Comics.
It’s new comic book day, take a moment to look at the latest releases to grace our shelves. We are open until 7 today, so swing by the shop for these titles, and a hug slate of new graphic novels and trade paperback releases to boot. Drop us a DM with any questions or requests, otherwise we look forward to seeing you in the shop.

Sometimes we like to binge read our comics, and for that very relatable impulse, we have graphic novels and trade paperback collections of comic books. Take a look at forty of the latest and greatest titles to hit our shelves in recent week, then plan on when is the best time to get down to the shop to get some new reads. Take the first photo, for example. In it, we have an all new original graphic novel from comics legend Mike Mignola, alongside a collection of short series from the Hellboy adjacent universe of monsters and those who fight monsters (and are often monsters themselves). Keep sliding through to check out the best in comics, manga, and young adult graphic novels that are in stock at the shop right now. Our doors open at 11 AM today, and we wrap up at 7 PM. Or, swing by on Wednesday for new comic book day, and grab some single issues to go with the larger volumes. However you want to do it, making time to read and think about the characters, the stories, and what we like or don’t like about them, is a great way to spend the day. I mean, it beats doomscrolling, right?
