Tomorrow Is Free Comic Book Day

For the last several years, the comic industry has picked one Saturday - usually coinciding with a big comic book movie premiere - to designate as Free Comic Book Day. This means that you can go pretty much any comic store and there should be free comics for you! Each of the major publishers provides some sort of free title - sometimes a reprint or subsequent printing - that's intended to pique the interest of someone who's never read that series - or comics in general! - before. It's a big deal for the comic store owners, as they get an incredible amount of walk-in traffic on that day, and often pick up a new customer or three as a result.

If you're out and about tomorrow and find yourself anywhere near a comic store, I'd suggest you stop in and see what you can get!
