Free Comic Book Day 2014!

Today is Free Comic Book Day! On the first Saturday each year, participating comic book shops join together with the various comic book publishers and give out select comic books at no charge to any customer. It's a great opportunity to introduce comic books to those who don't normally read them and it's a great opportunity for those of us who do read comic books to try out new materials.

I went with my older boy Leslie to Daydreams Comics in Iowa City to check out this year's free comics. I ended up leaving with ARCHIE DIGEST, a SONIC/MEGA MAN flip comic book, and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. I almost picked up a cool looking HELLO KITTY comic book, but decided to leave it for other customers. Now I'm kicking myself in the butt.

This year's special guest artist is Ian McGinty of ADVENTURE TIME CANDY CAPER, UGLYDOLL, HELLO KITTY, and BRAVEST WARRIOR. He's chatting with the customers and signing their comic books!


FCBD is happening all over -- but only today! So you should check out your local shop and see what free comics they have in stock!
