Free Comic Book Day 2016 Haul!

Free Comic BookDay Haul

May 7th, 2016 marked the annual event that is Free Comic Book Day! Once a year in Spring participating comic book specialty shops across North America and even around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops. Like Independent Book Store Day this day celebrates independent comic book specialty shops and promotes the reading of comic books.

As a young child, my love of comics was fostered when I was in elementary school. I grew up reading kid-friendly comics such as Scooby Doo!, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Archie, and much more. Later on, I got into reading Japanese manga in middle school, and from there on I stared to branch out into full graphic novels. I enjoy reading comics and they are so much fun.

I was super geeked for this year’s Free Comic Book Day as they had some great  titles lined up. I was able to visit two of my local comic shops, snag some free comics, check out the newest titles, and buy some stuff on my TBR list as well.

Here’s what I picked up:

Liberty Comics Haul
