DC Comics starts the Get Pop-Cultured series

“It’s the Barnes and Noble promotion you deserve, AND the one you need right now.” -The Dark Knight

If you head into a Barnes and Noble store right now, you’re likely to notice something a little out of the ordinary. As we’re writing this post, in fact, you’re likely to see plenty of DC Comics on display. Wait for a few days and the emphasis will switch to Disney’s Frozen, then Marvel, and so on. From now through Sunday August 10, participating Barnes and Noble stores are celebrating popular entertainment with a series of special events. For example, July 23-27 will feature a DC Comics Spectacular. If you visit a participating Barnes and Noble store in that window, you’ll find specials on DC Comics graphic novels. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy giveaways and activities.

Each portion of the Get Pop-Cultured Series at Barnes and Noble only lasts a short time, but this allows you to enjoy a plethora of pop culture subjects. The following is the calendar of special events during this program:

July 23: Batman Day (in honor of the 75th Anniversary of Batman)
July 23-27: DC Comics Spectacular (for all of Batman’s colleagues, of course)
August 1: Frozen Friday (you can cool off with Olaf)
August 2: Marvel Day (nobody wants to leave out the Avengers)
August 3: James Patterson Day (when you sell over 300 millions copies of your books, you get a day at Barnes and Noble)
August 4-9: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (this one is geared towards kids aged 5 to 10, giving them a chance to come out of their shells)
August 9-10: Page and Screen Weekend (kind of a catch-all for any other pop culture not already covered)
