Free Comic Book Day 2024 Announces Manga Titles
Free Comic Book Day might represent North American comics, but it also has some choice manga picks for 2024.
Free Comic Book Day has been an annual tradition when it comes to countless comic book companies, giving readers the opportunity to check out old and new series for the cost of absolutely nothing. While companies like Marvel, DC, Image, and Dark Horse are well represented, manga has slowly made its way into the annual event more with each passing year. 2024 is looking to be no different as a number of titles have been announced for next year's festivities.
Next year's Free Comic Book Day will take place at select retailers on Saturday, May 4th. The annual event that gives away free comic books first began in 2002, and isn't aiming to stop any time soon. For 2024, Free Comic Book Day is aiming to give away forty-eight comic book titles with North American publishers focusing on comic characters such as Spider-Man, Superman, Conan The Barbarian, and many more.
