If You’re Not, You Should Be–Free Comic Book Day

This series is designed as a way to call attention to things, practices, places, activities, or anything else you might not be aware of that I think are worth checking out. I try to cover as wide a variety of topics as I can.

As I mentioned in my post on Monday, this Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. In honour of that fact, today’s post will focus on some of the free books being released for the event.

Star Wars and Serenity

From Dark Horse, this issue contains two stories. In a perfect sci-fi combination, it’s a Star Wars story focusing on Han and Chewie paired with a story based on Joss Whedon’s Serenity.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Guild

Another fantastic pairing from Dark Horse, this time with an all Whedon connection. It contains a stand alone story from Buffy Season 9, based on Whedon’s original hit TV show, and a new Guild comic, written and created by frequent Whedon collaborator Felicia Day.

Donald Duck Family Comics

Continuing its reprinting of classic comics, Fantagraphics presents one of the greatest cartoonists of all time, Carl Banks. This collection of three of his legendary Donald Duck comics will certainly be worth picking up.
