Mark your calendars! The 24th annual Free Comic Book Day is slated for Saturday, May 3, 2025. We can get a free comic book that day at participating locations and this year they'll have even more freebies with color coded labels to distinguish between All Ages, Teen, and Mature comics.
So mark your calendar and pick up a free issue for the … kids at home? Suuuuuure, let's pretend it's not for you and say it's for the little ones.
It's been years since I've read comic books. I even tried drawing my own once. It didn't have many super heroes, but starred a kid who refused to eat his vegetables, couldn't talk to girls, and looked ridiculous in his baggy jeans. I guess it wasn't so much a comic book as a journal. No wonder Marvel never took me seriously.
To make matters worse, I harshly learned on a recent date that comic books aren't an appropriate answer to “what have I read lately?” Suffice to say, there wasn't a second date.
Alright! I got 5 comics for free! Thanks again!
Can i choose my comic book, or its given to me by the store staff???
The internet is the BEST. And the worst. But anyhow, YAY MORE FREE BATHROOM READING MATERIAL!
Thank you! Got ours 🙂
Tomorrow is the 5th.
Mary, you can set it to any image you want at Gravatar.com
by the way, anyone know how to change that sad gravatar i’ve got?
That is so cool! I missed it this year but now that I know I’ma be there next yr!! By the way, whoever you were dating is crazy; comic books not only do count, but you get extra points for imagination and semi-dorkiness. (I know, since I read both all the time, when I’m not cackling at my armloads of free stuff)
My store allowed each person to pick 3 comics from a table full of choices. My 2 grandsons & I walked out with 9 free comic books.
My local comic store gaveabout 20 different comic books!! the sign said help yourself to one of each!! 🙂
Travis that’s awesome!!
My local store gave out each comic, the heroclix promo (green lantern), 5 decks of magic cards, green lantern rings, and some misc figurines. I had an armload of goodies!

Were, not Was, my English sucks x
There was no hoops to jump through. In fact, it was awesome! We got 3 free comics because they gave me one for my daughter who is only 3 months old!! And one for me and my son! They sold him a second one for 50 cents too! They also gave him a green lantern figure for free too. We didn’t have to sign up for anything! Awesome 🙂
Yeh, im going to check it out – but seeing as my son wants to go to the skate shop next door i’m not going too far out of my way to see – but thanks for the heads up 🙂
LB, a big part of FCBD is just to (re)acquaint folks with their local comic book stores. I don’t see a problem with going to two different stores, but you may want to call both of them first to check out their policies for FCBD. For instance, my local comic book store will be combining their FCBD with a local comic convention that you must pay to attend. I’ll be skipping this offer.
Ok so tomorrow i take my son for a free subway with the coupon i got in the mail, walk up to the comic shop n pick up a comic, go to dunkin for a free ice coffee for us both and pick up my free suave professionals and gerber soy while im in there seeing as its in Giant. Awesome. Sounds like tomorrow might be quite productive – there are 2 comic stores near me, which are participating…would it be rude to go to both?
WAAHHHH! ;A;
The closest is like 20 miles away.
Sad nerd is sad.
Just means you’re dating the wrong girls, Goob. 🙂
yay! there is a store really close to me! I will be going to get one for my son!
Took My kids, they had no idea what a comic book was.
3 Free plus they gave us a bunch that were left over from last year.
My kids love them.
Thanks for the heads up on the comics! I got mine at all the stores and then took them by the hospital for the Pediatric Unit.
It must be magic being married to you, Adam.
My wife and I were driving to one on the other side of town, but.. I’m too lazy to drive that far so we turned around and went home.
My husband and 5-year-old son went to the local shop and each got a bag (one for adults, one for kids), and came home with 43 free comic books – woohoo!
My grandson, Austin, went to our local comic book store – 7th Inning Stretch – in Dunnellion, Florida and they’re giving every kid 5 free comic books – way to go Goob!
That was good! I also can’t wait to read more!
OMG this is great! What an awesome bday to be included in the comic book with my pink angel!!! Thanks Adam and i can’t wait to read more!
As always, I love it Adam! Keep them comin’!
