Don't miss it. This Saturday, May 2nd is FREE Comic Book Day. My family loves it and looks forward to it every year. The tradition started when the kids were little. My husband was a big comic fan as a kid and wanted to share that with our kids. Plus, its a great way to encourage reading. This year my husband has to work so he will go to comic book stores by his office. We will take NYC.
The event is just what the name says--go to participating comic book stores and snag designated free comics. Special edition comics are printed for the occasion and that is what you choose from.
Some some stores lay out the red carpet for you and some not so much. In the past, my favorite stores have had cool giveaways, artists signing their work, and costumed superheros to greet you. But it's fun to go no matter what. If we get duplicates, I give them to friends.
Check out freecomicbookday.com to find a location by you and map out the best route. Get there early if you can as the comics can go quickly.
Fun, fun, fun!
