Stefano’s will reading on Days of Our Lives already looked like the kind of family gathering that should come with emergency exits and maybe a licensed therapist standing nearby. Lexie showed up alive, Marlena abandoned her inheritance without a second thought, and EJ spent most of the chaos looking one inconvenience away from chewing through furniture. Somewhere outside all that DiMera madness, though, Dan Feuerriegel spent his weekend doing something far less stressful: loading up on comic books and fully embracing his inner geek on social media.
Key Takeaways
- Dan Feuerriegel celebrated Free Comic Book Day with a massive comic haul.
- The DAYS star visited several comic shops and showed off his finds on Instagram.
- Feuerriegel highlighted titles like Alien, Predator, and The Nice House on the Lake.
- Fans and comic creators filled the comments with support and reading recommendations.
- The actor also promoted his own comic project, Fractured Shards, in the video.
His Free Comic Book Day Adventure
Feuerriegel posted a video on Instagram and wrote, “Had a fantastic Free Comic Book Day run thanks to @santa_monica_comics_co , @gapplecomics and @houseofsecretsburbank . Shout out to @raheightcomics and @barbarakesel for the industry chat. #ComicBookFans #ComicBooks.”
Free Comic Book Day is an annual event where comic shops around the world give away special free comics to celebrate the industry and bring in new readers, longtime fans, and everybody in between. Feuerriegel’s video showed the actor bouncing between comic shops, flipping through shelves, showing off his Fractured Shards comic, and proudly hauling home what looked like enough reading material to survive a small apocalypse.
The comments quickly filled with fellow comic fans and supportive friends. Comic book artist, Ray-Anthony Height, told Feuerriegel, “It was a pleasure, Dan!!” while another follower praised his choices by writing, “[The] Nice House [on] the Lake is such a good series!” Even Feuerriegel himself jumped into the replies, chatting with fans about what they were reading these days.

The Haul Was Actually Impressive
Feuerriegel did not exactly stroll home with three pamphlets and a polite smile. In the video, he unloaded a stack of titles like The Nice House on the Lake, Alien, Predator, Masters of the Universe, Gun Honey, and Avengers: Endgame. He even shouted out Everything Dead and Dying, calling it a horror western and joking, “Couldn’t afford to read that one.”
The actor also used the video to remind viewers he is one of the co-creators of Fractured Shards, which appeared throughout the clip as he moved from shop to shop. There was something refreshingly unpolished about the whole thing. No giant campaign. No dramatic sales pitch. Just Feuerriegel looking genuinely excited to spend Free Comic Book Day digging through shelves and nerding out over titles he liked.
And honestly, after watching Stefano’s resurrection-adjacent family circus, seeing EJ’s portrayer happily waving around comic books felt weirdly soothing. Somewhere between Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) return and Feuerriegel proudly showing off his haul, DAYS fans basically got two forms of entertainment for the price of one this weekend: Salem brought the chaos. Dan brought the vibes.
