Diamond Comics released the full list of titles for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY May 5, 2012. From super heroes to kid shows and EVERY genre in between, there’s something for every comic book fan. Not to diss any of the superhero books that I love but I wanted to highlight some other genres. These are great reasons to get your friends who are not usual readers into the shop next FCBD and support our shops and creators.
For the sci-fi fan: Dark Horse offers a Star Wars/Serenity flip book! Two tales in one featuring A Han Solo/Chewbacca adventure plus a Mal Reynolds tales for the Browncoats!
I freakin’ LOVE anything related to DUNE (yes, even all those endless prequel novels) and BOOM! Studios presents DUNE: ORIGINS.
IDW brings the Transformers back to comic books after a petition from thousands of fans. This new issue picks up where the previous series left off.
For the kids: Yo Gabba Gabba from Oni Press, Peanuts from Boom!Studios
DC Comics is offering a Justice League, Marvel is featuring the Avengers in their FCBD title. Dark Horse is offering a Buffy, the Vampire Slayer/The Guild flip book. The Smurfs, Tinkerbell, Donald Duck and even My Favorite Martian will appear in FREE titles next month for the eleventh year of FCBD.
And something fun that brings up a childhood memory: Bluewater Productions presents Burt Ward: Boy Wonder, the further adventures of the actor who starred with Adam West on the old television series. When I was a kid dad took me to our local Chevy dealership to meet Robin (Burt Ward) and get his autograph and a young geek’s dream fulfilled!
See you in the shops May 5, 2012.
