Free Comic Book Day?
For the last two years, the first Saturday in May has been "Free Comic Book Day" -- an unabashedly commercial "holiday" on which anyone could go into a participating comixshop and receive one free comic. (For the direct-sales comics retailer nearest you, call 1 800 COMIC BOOK; newsstands and chain bookstores don't participate, nor offer for sale the full variety of titles available at the specialty shops.)
The bad news, is Free Comic Book Day will not be observed the first Saturday of May, 2004 -- tomorrow, 3 May. The good news is, Free Comic Book Day has just been moved to later in the year: the first Saturday in July, which will fall on 3 July this year. Probably the best part of Free Comic Book Day is that not only the Big Two -- DC and Marvel -- but a number of smaller, independent comic-book publishers also participate. I find it's a great opportunity to check out books I might not have read otherwise.
And hey, free comix. You can't go wrong with that.
Semi-randomly: Looking at my LJ userinfo stats earlier, I noticed that I have posted 2,147 comments in others' journals, and received 1,326 comments on my 274 posts. I suppose that means I have a surfeit of good comment karma?
Did anybody notice I posted two new stories yesterday?
