The day is finally here! The one that comic book nerds like me wait for to arrive every year – FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! I always say support your local comic book shop. These are shops that we need in our communities, and I don’t want to see them start disappearing. So please, head out to your local shop, pick up some free comics, and grab some other awesome goodies as well. The employees and owners are spending their time and effort for you today, even spending $5 would be a big help – so don’t just be greedy!

My Haul
Now, every shop is different in how they run Free Comic Book Day. For example, since I was a subscriber at my old shop, I was allowed to take home one of every comic if I wished to. That was in Florida, but here in Upstate New York, it works a little differently. The comics are split in to two sections and each customer can pick one from each section. Watch the video below to see what we ended up with!
