COMICS

[Newt]

So, free comic book day. What did everyone do....apart from get free comics.

What is this "free comic book day" I have missed?

Free Comic Book Day was founded by a guy named Joe Field. It's basically a day where a bunch of participating comic book stores(And some regular book stores) give out free comic books. No, I don't mean you walk in and they hand over their stock. Usually comic companies will choose a single issue of their story they want to give away, in hopes you'll read it and start collecting. So there's a lit of comics, every year, that are being handed out. If you go to a particularly popular comic store, they may even pay a famous artist to come in and sign your comics.(Either for free or for a price.)

The guy I mentioned earlier? Joe Field? I know him. Swell guy. He owns Flying Colors Comics, which is a comic store kinda near where I live.(Roughly a one hour drive.) So I often go there and get my comic book needs. This year I couldn't go to Free Comic Book Day, due to a work schedule conflict.

And that's a link to what was given away this year. Some notables include:
Mega Man/Sonic: Right now there's a big cross over in the Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series. It's pretty good. It's also Mega Man and Sonic. So, yeah, obviously it rocks.

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: A fan of My Chemical Romance? Then you may be familiar with the album of the same name. It's a comic series based on the album. Or the album is based on the comic series. I do not know, as I do not read Killjoys, nor listen to MCR.

Judge Dredd: See the movie. Then read the comic it's based on.

The Tick: Dude. It's The Tick. He protects the city of The City.
