Tomorrow marks the annual "Nerd Christmas," known as Free Comic Book Day. Comic shops around the world open their doors with heaps of free comics to show appreciation for their customers and to introduce new readers to comics.
Started in 2002, Free Comic Book Day has grown into a crazy, and successful venture! In past years, Heroclix, Green Lantern Rings, key chains, and posters have been given away for free as well. Local comic shops often have drawings and contests making Free Comic Book Day, an all day affair.
What comics can you be expecting to snag for free tomorrow? Let me break down a few of the titles available.
Inifinity - This is a short lead-up into Marvel's next big comic crossover event this August. The Avengers have traveled across the universe to aid Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy in their fight against the Builders. Meanwhile, Thanos has come to attack Earth and it's up to the New Avengers to stop him.
The Walking Dead - The hit comic turned hit AMC TV series offers an exclusive look at both Michonne and the Governor's origins.
