Only select free comics. The publishers put out special free issues for this day. If saturday doesn't work for you they usually have plenty of leftovers for awhile after. Last year I grabbed mine from the library where they had a display.So we can just walk in, pick any one comic book and walk out? Cool
The store in my area lets you get more than just one. I think it was like 3 or 4 different comics per person. My guess is all stores have different limits. Possibly more if you buy something. Some stores have huge lines, while others have no lines at all. As mentioned it's only select comics. They have a bunch to choose from though.So we can just walk in, pick any one comic book and walk out? Cool
Actually some of the comics do have gaming theme. I'll have to check when I get home but pretty sure I got a Mass Effect comic last year.Too bad some of the comics didn't have gamign swag props or themes
Grown men and women like comics too. I would bet the majority of comics are purchased by adults over the age of 18. Adults are the ones with disposable income and can actually afford the more expensive/rare comics.Stores have been quite stingy with their offerings recently. Though I wonder if it's to stop all those grown men from taking all of the comics. lol.
If anything they are trying to stop all the young kids from taking all the comics, Free Comic Book Day is the only time of the year I see anyone under the age of 20 in most stores.Stores have been quite stingy with their offerings recently.

I think it's because the stories are from comic writers and not TV show writers. I enjoy both, but I noticed my favorite stories are written by Ian Boothby. In fact, he did the hilarious Treehouse of Horror issue with The Simpsons version of Death Note. I should also mention I feel the same way about Futurama.Bongo Comics deserves to be more popular, since I find that I now enjoy the comic stories more than the tv show. It is both funny and sad to see the company get mocked regularly on the Simpsons, since most viewers who claim to be fans of the show don't give a crap about the comics.
Thanks a lot for posting those! I wasn't able to stop in any physical stores anywhere, but digital's great too.-snip- (a bunch of digital freebies)
I ended up getting the 2000AD for free, but this year they went from 50 cents each on the back issues to 1.00, so I skipped out on that.I ended up buying more comics than I got free ones, lol. One of the 2 stores I went to had a bunch of back issues for 50 cents each so I had a field day. Bummed I didn't find the free 2000AD comic though, got pretty much everything I wanted otherwise.
Just go to your local comics store. They probably still have free issues left and would appreciate the business.I worked on Saturday, so no free comics for me.
Excited to go to my store today. They always have 1 dollar comics in the middle to go through. A new batman comic starts today that's first issue is free written by jeff lemire. Good year.
The art in the first story is so good. I think it's exclusive to this? Or maybe I'm wrong.Here is a gaming themed comic some of you might enjoy.
