So today is FREE Comic Book Day and I went to my local comic book shop to get a free copy of Action Comics #1 since it is Free Comic Book Day and all comics in the shop should be “free.” It seems that I was misinformed.
Actually, there are two opportunities to get a selection of free comics at local “participating” comic shops, one in October and one in May. I’d explain it but I think the folks at one of my favorite podcasts did a much better job so go listen to yesterday’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, and read Glen Weldon’s breakdown of the comics that (if you are reading this now) are probably already gone from your local comic shop. 🙁 Then again there’s no harm in running out to see and support your local comic shop. If they’ve run out the friendly and helpful staff should be able to set you up with other titles that are just as good, if not better. All you have to do is ask.
So what did I actually do for a few hours today at my local comic shop? It was pure genius…
