Free Comic Book Day 2009. EVERYONE’S doing it. Even Wolverine.
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, May 2nd, is Free Comic Book Day, aka FCBD. This is a national event! Comic retailers from across the U.S. will be handing out tons of free comics to everyone who walks in their store. Publishers have printed special edition books with brand new or recently released material specifically for this day (see the list below). Not only that but most stores usually make a big deal out of FCBD and will be having signings with your favorite creators, guest artists, raffles and huge sales!
For more information, questions or updates check out the official FCBD website, www.freecomicbookday.com. And don’t forget to check in with GEN next week for our on-the-scene coverage of FCBD!

FCBD FTW! I don’t know about you, but I’m getting my hands on that William Shatner Presents asap. That’s sure to be the best comic all year. No, ever.
