And other non-video game comics
Tomorrow, May 7 is the 15th annualFree Comic Book Day, and there are a couple of freebies on offer this year that may appeal to gamers who don’t know a whole lot about comics (like me). Among thehefty list of 50 booksarePokémon: Pocket Comics,Assassin’s Creed, andStreet Fighter V.
Not every comic shop or bookstore is participating, so verify youcheck first to seeif you can snag some free comics. I was surprised to find a location in my podunk little town in Mississippi, so your chances are decent even if you live on the edge of civilization.
NPR’s Glen Weldon has agreat, exhaustive breakdownof all 50 comics available, so that might be worth a read for the uninitiated. (Though he basically recommends every single one.) Personally, the video game stuff isn’t really doing it for me this year; I’m hoping to be able to pick upSerenity,Bob’s Burgers, andThe Tick.
