TODAY IS FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

What is Free Comic Book Day (FCBD)?

Well, FCBD is only one of the best days of the year. In my opinion, FCBD is right up there with your birthday, Christmas (or Hanukah or Kwanzaa or Festivus or whatever specially named day you use to celebrate the winter solstice). It's the one day of the year where people are encouraged to go to local (participating) comic book shops and pick up issues of comics for FREE! Of course, only certain books are free but the books that are available are still pretty awesome. For instance, you can pick up the prequel to Marvel's newest, universe-altering crossover event, Civil War II, or you can pick up a special FCBD Suicide Squad book to get you ready for this summer's Suicide Squad movie from Warner Bros./DC Comics. This year's FCBD will see FIFTY special edition books created primarily for FCBD that will be free on a first come, first serve basis.

So what's the holdup? Go to the site linked above, find out where your nearest participating comic book shop is located, and get yourself some free comics (and if you are so inclined, purchase a few books as well because most participating shops will also be offering tremendous deals on books that are on sale).

The preceding was a public service announcement from a simple comic book fan wishing to share his love for comic books with others. The writer has no connection to any comic publishing company, comic book distributor, or comic book shop (but if you are interested in hiring such a guy, then maybe we can talk). Anyways, go out and support your local comic book shop!
