today (may 4!!!) is free comic book day! every comic shop in the USA is participating. all the major comic publishers created special comics highlighting current & upcoming series for you to preview and own - for free!! stop by your local comic shop if you want a reason to get out of the house today (comic shop locator linked)
my highlights:
ultimate universe/spider-man - if you're not tapping in to the new marvel ultimate universe, now is the time!!!!!!
energon universe special - i have only heard amazing things about transformers comics and am excited to pick up a preview to see if it's worth the hype
doctor who - i'll be real with you, i've never read a good doctor who comic. hoping this one changes my mind!
archie horror presents cursed library - i love off-beat archie stuff

if you follow comic books at all, you would know that the main amazing spider-man comic series has been shit for years. this new series is a fresh take on spider-man with some very cool twists to his classic origin.
i picked up 3 copies from my local comic book store yesterday :)

ive only ever met one person irl thats had interest in them and it was an ex:( i didnt have interest for a long time either. then i realized its not just marvel and dc stuff.(love that too) but theres ones about witchcraft, i found one about this widely unknown female superhero who uses natures elements! vampires, a character n series about death, sex, so many. endless topics, endless media. some are 50 cents at your local shop. nobody realizes how great comic media consumption can be anymore
