Free Comic Book Day

When I was a kid, comic books had been my jam. I loved ‘em. It started with my dad who read the old Classics Illustrated comic books and as he read those, he introduced my brother and I to the DC and Marvel comic books of yore. The exploits of the Fantastic Four, the Justice League of America, and Batman were parts of our youth. When I was about nine years old, I dove into the deep end of the pool with comic books and have never looked back. Today is Free Comic Book Day and it’s a likelihood to dive back into comic books.

As I was a kid who fell in enjoy with comic books, this weekend is a good approach to introduce children young and old to comic books. Free Comic Book Day is as soon as participating comic book stores offer comic books absolutely free to individuals who go to their shops and celebrate comic books. It’s a fun technique to introduce new readers to comic books, grab a number of of the cost-free problems or dig via the back concerns for stories they need to reconnect with. (My recommendation; discover the X-Men Days of Future Past graphic novel and associated comic books to prime oneself for the upcoming blockbuster movie of the exact same name). Free Comic Book Day started in 2002 and has only gotten larger. Besides, who doesn’t for instance free of charge stuff?

I enjoy comic books and hope Free Comic Book Day can kindle this enjoyment for others. Follow along with their Twitter and Facebook for much more Free Comic Book Day information.

What’s enjoyable around this year’s Free Comic Book Day is that several of the titles tie in directly to a few of the summer movies coming down the pipe. Want to discover additional about the Guardians of the Galaxy? There is often a Guardians comic book and Rocket Raccoon comic book that you are able to uncover for no cost. Ready for the new Tom Cruise action movie, Edge of Tomorrow? There can be a comic book about that storyline. Check out the list of the comics up for grabs.

Seattle has some excellent stores that are participating in Free Comic Book Day; Golden Age Collectables, Zanadu Comics, Comics Dungeon, Arcane Comics, and Dreamstrands are some of the stores involved with Free Comic Book Day. (Go here to find other participating shops)

With the reputation of superheroes in pop culture, comic books are the new cool. From movies to TV shows, the reach of comic books is ubiquitous. The ability of comic books to tell stories in a visual manner and spark imagination makes those movie experiences believe even larger. If you liked Captain America: The Winter Soldier on the massive screen, recognize that comic book fans knew that Steve Rogers already existed such as that in their minds. How concerning the mental turmoil that Bruce Wayne goes through at the Christopher Nolan Batman movies? Readers of Batman or Detective Comics already knew the anguish that the World’s Greatest Detective experiences.
