Free Comic Book Day 2013

There aren't many things that you can get for free in today's world. So Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is a pleasant and welcomed change for most geeks out there. Especially when we tend to spend lavishly on the things we love.

FCBD happens on the 1st Saturday of May every year and it is self explanatory. Basically, you get free comics! There are particular comics that are released exclusively for FCBD and people can have a look at the website to have a glimpse at what sort of comics they would be interested in getting. There are a variety of different choices and there are even some targeted at kids to encourage the habit of reading. Different stores have their own policies and collection to choose from.

The great thing about FCBD is that it encourages everyone to visit their local comic book stores and have a great time. Some of the stores even have local comic illustrators ready to sketch something out for you for free, all for the sake of their passion.

This year was my first time participating in FCBD and it was a great experience. I managed to get quite a few interesting selection of comics. 2 were bought. Mostly for me but some for my fella as well.

His and Hers FCBD loot.

Most interesting experience? Lining up to get inside a store.

Best part about FCBD? That it was also May the 4th, so STAR WARS! Hence, I acquired myself a suitable date, courtesy of a friend.

Always had a thing for bad boys...

                             

So yeah, why not try taking part in FCBD next year? May the force be with you always!
