GGB NYC Kick Ass Women in Comics Brunch

Something was in the air on March 19th. Was it a warm spring breeze? A terrigen mist? Who knows! But it turned our unassuming brunchettes into mimosa wielding BAMFs at our Kick Ass Women in Comics brunch.

Ladies arrived at Juniper in midtown where a private area awaited us. We were greeted by beautifully designed menus from the venue filled with amazing brunch options, a postcard of our brunch illustration by Monique Steele, minimates and pogs of our favorite kick ass comic heroines, Divergent and Batman vs Superman movie swag (Thanks Allied!).

After everyone signed the official brunch poster and got their frequent bruncher cards punched, the games really began. Specifically, Women in Comics bingo! NYC Officer Amanda led the very competitive bingo match.

Fortunately, like our kick-ass favorites on and off the page, everyone was a winner. We had great Batman vs. Superman shirts and Wonder Women posters to giveaway, as well as tickets to the New York Premiere! There were also frame-worthy women in comics silhouettes, a Her Universe women of Marvel tank, and Wonder Woman accessories to add amazonian glam to your life.

Once we had our fill of delicious food and drink, we went over to Midtown Comics near Grand Central Station. The awesome staff there made a “Geek Girl Brunch Recommends” shelf, showing off the officers current and all time faves. Midtown also threw in 20% off all purchases, so brunchettes could grab some new books they just learned about that day.
