Free Comic Book Day isn’t just about free comics. Oh yes, there are plenty of free books to be had, but the day is really about celebrating the medium. Visiting a local comic book shop and interacting with other fans. Introducing new readers to the medium and characters that we love. Thanking your favorite retailer for everything they do for us by buying some comics when you pick up your free ones. And of course, it’s about meeting some of the comic book writers and artists who have helped bring some of your favorite stories to life.
It’s with this last part in mind that we’ve put together this list and interactive map highlighting some of the Free Comic Book Day Events happening this weekend. We’ve provided signing times where possible, but as always, you should call to confirm. Sometimes these events require wristbands or preregistration, and all of them are subject to change.
Have a happy Free Comic Book Day, and be sure to pick up our two free comics—DC COMICS: DIVERGENCE #1 FCBD SPECIAL EDITION (featuring original short stories that set up this summer’s Batman, Superman and Justice League storylines) and the all-ages friendly TEEN TITANS GO!/SCOOBY-DOO TEAM-UP #1 FCBD SPECIAL EDITION.
