FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2016

For those who aren't familiar, Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May. It is a day for comic book stores to give away comics to customers both as a token or appreciation to loyal customers and as a way to try and bring in new readers.  For more information visit http://www.freecomicbookday.com

My kids and I have made this event a yearly tradition, and hopefully many of you out there do the same. This year I was fortunate enough to pick up several great titles. Today I will take a very brief look at three of those.
