I went down to my local comic bookstore back on Saturday, May 2, for this years Free Comic Book Day. The story seemed to be doing good business. There were a lot of titles, and I picked up a few titles for myself and a few for my daughter. This is what I got:
Avatar: Legends/Minecraft (Dark Horse): My daughter and I are both Avatar fans, but she also likes Minecraft. This one is free in digital format, too.
Energon Universe 2026 Special (Image/Skybound): This one you can get digitally, but not for free. I've read the MASK story here. They've slowly been building up to the MASK series, which I'm not sure I'm interested in, but they've integrated it reasonably well with the existing universe. There are shorts with the other Energon Universe properties, but the only one I've read yet is the G.I. Joe stories that shows us whats going on with Hawk who we find out a few issues ago had been replaced for sometime by Zartan. We also get Zartan's origin.
Jem and the Holograms/My Little Pony (Dark Horse): A "Comics Giveaway Day" double feature, this one is a double-sided "flip" style like the Ace Double paperbacks back in the day. My Daughter has enjoyed the My Little Pony comics in the past, but this will be her first exposure to the 80s stylings of Jem.
Journey to the West (Manga Classics/UDON): This is like the Classics Illustrated of today, judging by most of the Manga Classics titles they produce, but Journey to the West piqued my interest in a way that Frankenstein or Jungle Book wouldn't. I'm going to attempt to get my daughter to give it a try. This is just part of the story, of course. The actual comic comes out in September.
Masters of the Universe/Dungeons & Dragons (Dark Horse): This is another book bills itself as for "Comics Giveaway Day," which I'm not really sure what the difference is. You can get this one digitally for free.
