Free Comic Book Day
The Publisher’s Answers
I am sure if you were to ask someone at Marvel about the most important comic being given away on Free Comic Book Day, he or she would answer “Infinity” since it is the official launch of one of the biggest crossovers in years. DC Comics would push Superman Special Edition. Image would remind you about The Walking Dead Special coming out while IDW would probably talk about TMNT New Animated Advenures. Essentially, each publisher would talk about whatever book their team is giving away. They would all be partially right and partially wrong.
A Fan’s Choice on Free Comic Book Day
A child might believe the most important comic on Free Comic Book Day would have to be Spongebob Comics Freestyle Funnies while a seasoned collector might also point to Infinity. A Star Wars fan would look at the Dark Horse offering as being the most important to her. Again, they would all be partially right and partially wrong.
What is the Most Important Comic of Free Comic Book Day?
The most important comic book of Free Comic Book Day is the one which opens your eyes to something new. You might be a DC Comics fan who gives Infinity a try and decides to give Marvel another chance. You might be a devout Marvelite who decides to try the DC Nation Super Sampler. You might decide to try something from one of the smaller presses and realize it is a perfect fit for you.
If you are new to comic books, or have not read one in years, any comic book you pick up on Free Comic Book Day is the most important. Any comics you read with help you realize why there are so many people who love comics and find them to be the best entertainment medium on the market. When you are leaving the comic book store on Saturday (hopefully our Detroit area comic book store), look down in your bag. Whatever is inside is the most important to you.
