Get Ready For Free Comic Book Day With These Previews | |
Get Ready For Free Comic Book Day With These Previews Free Comic Book Day is mere weeks away, so here's a few issues that The Escapist Comics is looking forward to. Free Comic Book Day is a kind of Christmas for comic book fans, in more ways than one. Along with the promise of free books and discount deals provided by local comic shops, you'll also find the rampant commercialism of publishers trying to convince you to buy their upcoming series. Not that it's always a bad thing; after all, sometimes these previews just look incredibly promising despite knowing what they're made for! In that spirit, here are a few of the Free Comic Book Day previews that we at The Escapist are looking forward to. Whether the finished series will meet our expectations remains to be seen, but until then we'll feel like kids on Christmas morning for: ![]() Uber: The First Cycle ![]() Sherwood Texas/Boondock Saints ![]() The New 52: Future's End ![]() Rocket Raccoon You'll be able to get these books and more from local comics retailers on May 3, 2014. Stay tuned for more coverage! | |
Did you mean Sons of Anarchy in your Sherwood Texas description? Also, this article doesn't actually say when Free Comic Book Day will be. Past that, it's good to have a run down of what will be available. | |
I'm looking forward to pick Future's End, Rocket Raccoon and Guardians of the Galaxy :D | |
It's apparently on the first saturday in May if anyone's interested, but not interested enough to google it, but is interested enough to read through the comments hoping to find this out, which would actually take more effort than just googling it. Anyway I wonder if Comixology takes part in this because it's basically the only place for me to get comics in a practical way. | |
Correct on both counts! It's been fixed. | |
I deny that Batman Beyond wasn't successful. True, it took waiting for the end of JLU for closure, but we got it and it was COOL. | |
It's always on the first Saturday of May, which this year will be May 3rd. | |
You guys leave out the latest Street Fighter? forshame! >:( | |
