Free Comic Book Day, May 2 store giveaways

comicsMay 2, 20261031,835

Free Comic Book Day took place Saturday, May 2, with comic shops nationwide handing out free issues and hosting in-store signings and community events. Publishers brought special releases for the day, including ABLAZE’s revived series The Cimmerian, while many stores ran prize drawings and distributed exclusive prints. Local events ranged from creator signings to community tables in places such as Campbelltown, with attendees leaving with signed copies and limited-edition art. The event matters because it funnels new readers into local shops, supports creators and retailers, and offers collectible issues collectors will seek out.

Folks, an important PSA! If you’re attending Free Comic Book Day/Comic Giveaway Day then keep in mind that the books may be free for you but the shop still pays for each and every one of them. Only take what you want and make sure to support your local shop by buying something while you’re there.

The pacing of these epistolatory installments is just great. The sense of time passing between panels really works

I'm sure that will be fine.

Ok, I am intrigued by the possibility that the Ming we’ve seen in flashbacks before this was a much better man that we assumed, and that something in the Vein shaped him into what he becomes.

Looks like he found the Black Flame and they have come to an accord.

It’s Free Comic Book Day! If you go to a comic book store, they’ll give you free comics! It would be very cool if you bought something too, but it’s not required. Just stop in, familiarize yourself with your local shop, and enjoy comic books!
