The publisher will also be sending Arcana creators out across both the US and Canada to local comic book stores for signings and general friendliness.

VANCOUVER (May 1, 2012) - With Free Comic Book Day just a few days away, Arcana Comics wanted to remind you of the events going on across North America as well as to remind you of how to get a copy of Intrinsic Issue 2 (Diamond Code MAY120836) after you fall in love with Issue 1 on FCBD.
This Free Comic Book Day is the biggest in Arcana's history for several reasons. First is INTRINSIC! Intrinsic is a company-wide crossover, bringing together characters from across the Arcanaverse to fight a common threat, who could destroy all of reality!
Issue 1 is FREE on FCBD, which you can't beat! Arcana Comics is making appearances across the continent this Saturday in celebration, so if you're in the area of one of the events, be sure to come by, say hi, and grab a copy of Intrinsic Issue 1!
If you're not close to one of these shops, worry not, because Intrinsic is appearing in just about every store in the United States! Stores are flocking to carry Intrinsic because it's the first chapter of a story, not just a teaser. In the book, you'll get 26 pages of story and a look at the Arcanaverse. Again, it's FREE.
If you fall in love with the story of Intrinsic, don't forget to pre-order a copy of Intrinsic issue 2, which is being solicited now in Diamond Previews for a July Release! On Free Comic Book Day or soon after, head over to your local comic book shop and ask them to order a copy of the book for you. Issue 2 will only be $1.95 for 22 pages of story. Again, you just can't beat that, so DO NOT MISS Issue 2! To make things easier, download a handout by CLICKING HERE and take it to your local comic book shop. It's small and in black and white (to save that precious colored ink)... Diamond Preview Ordering Code is MAY120836.
