Episode 9: Issue 9 - The Diplomat

Joes, Attenhut!

Fall in!

Presenting for your listening pleasure, Episode 9: Issue 9 - The Diplomat

This time, Aaron, Ryan, and Kyle talk about Free Comic Book Day.

http://www.freecomicbookday.com/

Free Comic Book Day has three main purposes:

To introduce everyone to the joys of reading comics.
To call back former comic book readers.
To thank current comic book buyers for their continued support.

Publishers produce special edition comics geared to attracting new non-comic readers. There is a wide diversity of comics available, from traditional comics fare like Archie and Disney, super-heroes from Marvel and DC, manga from Tokyopop, as well as work from independent publishers.

List of free comics (Gold and Silver) (from Free Comic Book Day's site):
