What are you going to be doing on Saturday, May, 7th?
Hopefully you’ll be going to Free Comic Book Day, just like me, at your local comic book store.
Free Comic Book Day celebrates 15 years of introducing families and friends to the world of comics. From super-heroes and science fiction to action/adventure and manga, Free Comic Book Day has a FREE comic for everyone!
I’ve been going to FCBD since the beginning and it is such a fun experience. Not only can you get some free comics, but some of the shops have artist signings, store specials, games and giveaways.

Want to make your Free Comic Book Day experience even better?
After picking up your free comics, go see a movie. It just so happens that Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War opens that very same weekend and introduces the Black Panther and Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Check with your local retailer to see if they are participating in Free Comic Book Day and their policies on the free comics available. Retailers will be limiting the amount of books per person at the event, so that every person has a chance to pickup some free comics at the event. Visit freecomicbookday.com to use the local comic shop finder for a participating store.
