Halloween ComicFest is an annual event where participating local comic shops across North America celebrate the Halloween season by giving away free comics to fans.
Comic shops are the perfect location to get into the spooktacular season: from zombies, vampires, monsters, and aliens to costumes and more, comic shops have it all when it comes to Halloween fun!
Major publishers such as DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, and Image Comics, along with a slew of independent publishers, put out free comics for fans to enjoy at the thousands of local comic shops that participate in Halloween ComicFest, a.k.a. Spooky Free Comic Book Day!
Over the years, Halloween ComicFest has featured a variety of beloved horror-themed titles such as Hellboy, Goosebumps, John Constantine: Hellblazer, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, as well as other popular titles such as TMNT, Pokémon, and Spider-Man.
Halloween ComicFest will shift this year to focus exclusively on merchandise and collectibles.
Halloween ComicFest 2020 will feature an expanded line of PREVIEWS Exclusive figures from a variety of vendors including Funko, Diamond Select Toys, Hiya Toys, and Cryptozoic. This year’s selection of exclusive figures boasts something for each kind of fan. With characters ranging from Marvel to Robocop, to Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Cthulhu, fans and collectors alike will be thrilled to get their hands on these extremely limited collectibles.
When Victor Von Doom rescues S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill and visits Tony Stark’s lab, he assumes the mantle of Iron Man!

Sporting his signature suit, this PREVIEWS Exclusive Infamous Iron Man POP! figure comes in window box packaging and features glow in the dark eyes and reactor details to make him really stand out in your collection!

The 5-inch collectible comes packaged in a window box with an “Exclusive Species” foil sticker.
The PREVIEWS Exclusive Irradiated Cthulhu is all charged up!
