Hey there, Masters & Mistresses of the Nerdiverse! Puh-leeze be sure to mark your calendars pronto. But why, you ask? Because Free Comic Book Day is happening tomorrow, Saturday, May 4, 2019! That's right, Supergals & Wonderdudes, it's that most wonderful time of the year (Yup, the other one) when DC Comics, Archie, Image, Marvel, Dark Horse and other publishers have made dedicated page turners for comic book shops to give away for absolutely nothin', nada, zilch! This year, your friendly neighborhood comic shop will be offering up to 50 brand new publications featuring fan favorites like The Avengers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Casper the Friendly Ghost, those too cool teens from Riverdale, Spawn, Spider-Man, the heroes of Star Wars, Vampirella, and so many more! freecomicbookday.com/catalog To see the full line-up of comics (including 20 that are perfectly suitable for kids of all ages), check out that handy dandy link above to the official Free Comic Book site and start makin' your list and checkin' it twice. Heck, it doesn't even matter if you've been naughty...although it's usually better to be nice. If you've never gone out for Free Comic Book Day before and want tips or recommendations, feel free to drop us a comment below. Otherwise, just be prepared to spend a bit more than 12 parsecs in line if you want to be there when the shops open at their usual Bat-time. If you’re bringing little ones, our veteran advice would be to maybe go an hour after the shops open, when those long lines full of eager beavers have whittled down. (Get it? Beavers? Whittled down?!?!) *Bah-dum-thump!* Anywho, however you decide to do it, True Believers, we'd like to wish you all a very safe and happy Free Comic Book Day. And May the 4th be with you! Yours nerdily, The SCIFI.radio Rebel Alliance https://youtu.be/XfM1vlSUdcY Free California Fan Signings DC Comics is celebrating Free Comic Book Day with free fan signings in various comic book stores in California!
