I love free stuff, do you? Well, May 1st is free comic book day and you will be able to pick up 30 select titles for free, which happens to include Sonic the Hedgehog and Iron Man.
You can see the site’s FAQ to answer all your questions. Reason they are giving them away for free? Comic sales are going down, trying to get people hooked by giving them a free comics could increase subscribers. Its like crack.
Its really sad, the comic book shop I used to go to when I was in high school is now closed. It would have been cool to stop buy.

Well, comic book bussiness is down because there is only one actual comic book distribuitor in America, which is Diamond Comics and hence dictates how much comic book stores have to charge for a comic book.
