The Force was strong with Free Comic Book Day this year. This was our biggest Free Comic Book Day show yet! The most comics we’ve ever given away, the most vendors and guests we’ve hosted, and the most games we’ve had available for play. It’s going to be tough to get even bigger and better next year, but we are up for the challenge!
