Eep, you missed Free Comic Book Day.
Serves you right for not visiting National Bookstore at Power Plant Rockwell regularly.
We were wandering around the mall when we saw this crowd in front of National Bookstore. (“Ano yan, may artista ba?” “Artista na nagbabasa ng libro?! Kailangang kodakan!”)
Turns out it was Free Comic Book Day at the bookstore.
These were the titles they were giving away, absolutely free to anyone who showed up, no purchase necessary.
National Bookstore’s Power Plant branch has the best display of comic books in town: titles are arranged according to publisher. On Free Comic Book Day, there was a 20 percent discount on all graphic novels.
I like the Santa Claus committing suicide theme of the Xmas decor.

Waaahhh!!! The National Bookstore branch in our bukid is not this fancy and complete! The only graphic novel that I saw and bought there was Watchmen and I already thought that the store was great. I spoke too soon. T_T

I can’t get over the graphic novel corner of the Rockwell branch! It looks like a shrine with the tiny Santas committing suicide as idols. Waaahhh . . . help me. I am woeful, delusional, . . . .
