5/2/2013

This Saturday--May 4, 2013--is Free Comic Book Day! The first weekend in May of each year is a comics holiday, where local shops all over the country take money out of their pockets and buy comics to give away for free. They do this in the hopes of attracting new readers and spreading the word about our beloved hobby.

Now, most of you that listen to the podcast and collect comics already know about this day, and sure, it's fair for you to head down to your local LCS and pick up a free book or two. But what you really should be doing this week is telling everyone you know who has kids, who used to read comics or who you think might dig them to head to those comic shops and participate in Free Comic Book Day. This day is a success whenever a new comic reader is picked up.
Below are a few of the books that will be available at shops on Saturday. You can head to www.freecomicbookday.com and see the entire list, which is pretty darn impressive. On Monday's Secret Identity, we'll be talking about a handful of those books, but we also want to know what you picked up, and if you helped introduce someone to comics on Free Comic Book Day!

P.S. If you're not sure where the closest shop is to you, head to www.freecomicbookday.com/StoreLocator to find out!
