Holy Happenstance, Batman!—It's National Comic Book Day!
Whether you love Spiderman, X-men or Batman, be sure to geek out with your favorite comics on this holiday.
KAPOW! Today is National Comic Book Day.
This is a day for people of all ages to enjoy, since the first-ever comic book superhero made his first appearance in 1938. While some characters have new looks, and some of their storylines have changed completely, comic enthusiasts can still share their love of their favorite characters, old and new.
National Comic Book day is also a good precursor for the famous New York Comic Con. This year, it will be held during October 11-14 at the Jacob Javits Center, where heroes and villains will walk the streets of Gotham. Earlier this year, Patch's own Cinema Siren attended Comic Con in San Diego.
