Tomorrow, Saturday May 2nd, is FREE Comic Book Day! For years now comic book stores around the country offer a FREE comic book the first Saturday in May as a way to spread the word about reading and comics. It’s a great way to encourage kids to read. And with the Avengers movie coming out this weekend (it’s no coincidence) you can make it a comics weekend. 😉
One thing you may not know about me is that I really love comics! I have a fabulous family comic book store near me and I always look forward to FREE comic book day. It’s amazing how finding something kids actually enjoy reading can turn them on to reading in a whole new way. Here’s a comment from reader Lani on last years Free Comic Book Day.
You’ll want to go HERE to see if any shops in your area are participating. You’ll be able to get at least one comic book totally FREE, no purchase necessary. There are comics that are appropriate for all ages, so really something for everyone. You can preview the books available (not every store will get every book) HERE.
