The first Saturday in May every year is Free Comic Book Day. This year, that day is May 1 and it is tomorrow!

In all over 30 comics from various publishers will be available, though you’ll want to get to your store early to avoid sell outs. And hey, don’t forget to actually buy some books and support your local comic shop while you’re there.
