Did you say free comics?

Free Comic book Day has been around since 2002, and is a big day for independent comic book specialty shops.  Only independent shops can be a part of Free Comic Book Day which is pretty cool. It's a great way to support your local comic book shop by stopping in and picking up a special free comic and shop around a little bit.
