BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Autum’s free day of comics will once again coincide with Halloween, and will include a total of 28 free books for you to pick up.
Spooktacular
Who doesn’t like free comics? No one, and that’s why we have a pair of days every year where that’s exactly what you can acquire from your local comics shop. In the fall, we get Halloween ComicsFest, which is more or less the same even that “Free Comic Book Day” is in the spring.
The difference of course, is that the fall version (which is a totally separate thing) is branded with Halloween flavor. It’s meant to be a kind of safe trick or treat experience for kids. It includes activities for participating shops and the ability to grab a book out of the selection of freebies.
Coming up on the event too, there’s quite a bit to be looking forward to.
Twenty-eight free comics, including 19 full-size comics and 9 mini comics can be picked up. This year’s titles include Marvel Comics’ Ghost Rider: King of Hell #1, Iron Man: Road to Iron Man 2020, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #0, Star Wars: Boba Fett #1; DC Comics’ DCEASED #1, The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid/ Black Canary: Ignite, and DC Superhero Girls: At Metropolis High; and Pokémon Adventures, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Spook House, among other spooktacular titles for comic readers of all ages.
