Once a year, comic stores around the world partake in Free Comic Book Day, a massive promotion geared at getting as many people as possible introduced to the medium. This year’s Free Comic Book Day takes place on Saturday, May 6th, as people head to their local comic store and get their own free funny books. As has been the case with years in the past, most publishers are partaking in the event in some shape, way, or form.
Both Marvel and DC are releasing four books each, with each publisher launching some big books with their Free Comic Book Day offerings. The House of Ideas has Avengers/X-Men #1, Spider-Man/Venom #1, Marvel’s Voices #1, and Spidey & His Amazing Friends #1 available while DC is offering Dawn of DC Knight Terrors and Dawn of DC We Are Legends in addition to previews of Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story and Clark & Lex/Fann Club: Batman Squad.
