Free Comic Book Day 2008
Free Comic Book Day: Saturday May 3, 2008
This Saturday May 3 marks the seventh annual Free Comic Book Day event. Comic book retailers from across the country will be participating in this yearly celebration of the comic book industry and the hobby as a whole.
Stores have different policies on how many free comics you can receive, but you will receive at least one free comic if you enter a participating store location. Most stores are pretty relaxed about how many comics you can take, but usually it's one of each title per customer. This year will include close to 40 different titles altogether, so that's not a bad haul!
Some of this years comic titles include:
ARCHIE'S PAL JUGHEAD
HELLBOY/BPRD
ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1
PROJECT SUPERPOWERS
TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED
BROKEN TRINITY PREVIEW
E.C. COMICS SAMPLER
X-MEN
THE STRANDED/DAN DARE FLIP-BOOK
SHONEN JUMP MAGAZINE SAMPLER
NEOTOPIA VOLUMES 1-3 COLOR POCKET MANGA
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
DEL REY & DABEL BROTHERS PREVIEW
TINY TITANS #1
GRAPHIC CLASSICS
DISNEY'S GYRO GEARLOOSE
MARVEL ADVENTURES: IRON MAN
AMELIA RULES! COMICS AND STORIES
NASCAR HEROES: ALL-STARS SPECIAL
Supplies are limited and most of the good titles tend to go fast, so try and get there early in the day.

I just wish that they'd put out some stronger titles. Secret Invasion had just started up, would've been cool if they had put out a Free Comic Book Day version of Secret Invasion #1 to increase the exposure to a story-line that was just beginning...
I love free comics.

Both this year and in 2007, I really enjoyed having the chance for some free exposure to various comic titles th tI otherwise probably would not have given a chance to and then finding out that I actually enjoyed them enough to follow up the free issue.
