What is Free Comic Book Day?


Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free* to anyone who comes into their stores.

thats crazy! thanks for letting us know. too bad there is no comic book stores around here

I love comic books. I'm seeing Shonen Jump, now I gotta hunt down a participating store~

Free Comic Book day is great! I've been going for the past 3 years. It really depends on the store you go to. Some stores limit you to 1-3 comicbooks while other stores let you take 1 of every free printing.... plus they also have free games demo's free packs of collector cards, free heroclix figures and more! Highly recommended for anyone who likes comics or wants to spend a fun day with the kids.

Cool, looks like I might have to check it out this year :)

This sounds awesome! I will have to go and check it out. I'm thinking I should call the comic book stores that are doing it locally and see which is going to be more generous with the freebies! :cheesygrin:

this is news i can use!

thanks

thanks

Thanks That's Cool...Had No Idea

Thank you! I never heard of this before. Sounds like fun!

It's on a Saturday and I can't go myself because I work Saturdays. But hubby can take the kids with him for the day.

I checked the store locator and there is a store taking part that is walking distances from us.

Looks fishy to me, it got the free in the web address!

Well it seems to be all over the country with REAL locations that you can contact by phone ( including 3 that I know of on Vancouver Island).......and other members have said they have attended in the past. Plus its not asking you for info

Thanks ONmomofthree! How were the lineups for those that went last year?

DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR FREE COMIC TOMMORROW!!!!!

*BUMP*

Tell your husband not to run into me!

This is my second year going, so I know it's no scam. They even had a free copy of Sandman!

i read this on another forum:

Want a free comic book?

Go into pretty much any comic book store across the country Saturday May 3rd and get a free comic. There will be loads of great deals, and a lot of the bigger stores are having special artists signings. Paradise comics in Toronto has Legion of Super-Heroes artist Francis Manpaul there today, while the Silver Snail will have Stuart Immonen, Leonard Kirk, and Ty Templeton doing signings.

For those of you who can't get to a comic shop, check out All New Comics who are also participating in Free Comic Book Day and will ship a free comic out to you free of charge.

Thanks

ok, my hubby could not make it at lunch time, he's now going afterwork.

anyone get their comic yet?

and do they run out????

Young freebie: i'll tell my hubby not to run into you, just OVER! MUHAHAAH

hey, just incase you didnt see, there is a limit of (one) per household and it says any multiple orders will be cancelled. I am not sure if that means only one comic, or not more than one of the same one... ? Just wanted you to know incase it does not show up or something. I ordered two though so i hope both come lol :P

ya, i got an email that it was cancelled. so i reordered ONE. oh well. i tried!

as for the free comic at the store, the hubby went, and they didn't have any! they took their free ones out of the store to the brewery market to give away! so they told my hubby to go back to the store tommorrow, because they'll ship back whatever is left over :S

craaazy.

BUUUUUT!! 2 guys were handing out free bibles on spring garden rd today, so he got one of those.

lol

My son and I went to the local comic store. We each got one comic.

Thanks so much, I thought I missed out on this. I just ordered one. They do not have many left in stock so if you guys have not done it yet do not wait too long

And I just ordered one online. My son really wanted the Sonic one but they did not have it. He is going to be so thrilled when it now arrives in the mail

I got four comics and cake :D
