Can't Wait For This!!!! Courtesy of Diamond Comic Distributors |
In case you don't know about Free Comic Book Day, it is a day of Free Comic Books. I know, right? It's awesome! It was started by the industry to encourage new and lapsed readers to give comics a chance. This is a great day to take that friend, sibling or random stranger from the bus stop and go to your local participating comic shop to try some comics!
Just a word of warning though: Your local comic shop doesn't participate for free. They purchase these books at a reduced rate. So, don't forget to say please and thank you when you get your free books, and it doesn't hurt to buy something neither... It's up to us to keep our local businesses thriving!
As you go through this list, if any titles are a must read, please let your LCS know now! They are ordering these books very soon, so if you wait, you will miss out!
