Ok guys so May 3rd, 2008 it's national free comic book day and pretty much this is how to sum it all down.
"Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free* to anyone who comes into their stores."
So yeah here's a site to find out more. I might be heading down to my local north star comic's to see if they got any deals for me. So yeah go check it out if your interested in this. This isn't a joke mind you this is a real thing happened last year.
