Free Comic Book Day Celebrates Big 20th Year with Many Geek-Friendly Titles
"Comic book nerd Christmas has arrived," quips Mashable, noting this is the big 20th anniversary of Free Comic Book Day. Basically if you walk into your local comic book store on the first Saturday in May: they'll hand you some free comic books. Bleeding Cool points out that several stores are even having free signings from famous comic book artists and writers. Although in 2017 NPR had this advice for visiting comics fans. "While you're there, buy something... The comics shops still have to pay for the 'free' FCBD books they stock, and they're counting on the increased foot traffic to lift sales." The official site includes a comic-shop locator — but many of the comics are also available online as free downloads. (For example, as free ebooks in Amazon's Kindle store.) This year's free offerings include a special issue of a new Sleepy Hollow comic and a unique "yearbook" commemorating the 25th anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Other geek-friendly choices include: Doctor Who Avatar: the Last Airbender Sonic the Hedgehog Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Three Stooges Stranger Things Spider-Man and Venom Avengers/X-Men/Eternals: Judgment Day DC League of Super-Pets and Dark Crisis: Special Edition Winchester Mystery House: The Hundred Year Curse A graphic novel called The Guardian of Fukushima Clementine ("the next big thing from Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead")And in addition — and perhaps inevitably.... "A new dawn of Archie is upon us!"Read more of this story at Slashdot.
