May the Fifth be with you! May the Thors be with you? Or something.. But get out to your local comics book shop to get your free comics for this annual celebration of sequential art. As previously mentioned, Dark Horse has a few different offerings, including a Han Solo and Chewbacca Star Wars story, ‘The Art of the Bad Deal’, in a flip-cover comic that also has a Zack Whedon-penned Serenity comic. Both stories have a common theme – a man and his ship. Dark Horse’s second freebie is a flip cover for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Guild. Combine both free comics together, and you will also have a two part story of Caitlin R. Kiernan’s Alabaster.
From other publishers for Free Comic Book Day: The Avengers, The New 52, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Simpsons, Mouse Guard, Transformers, Peanuts, and a whole lot more!

Drove across the city to the only comic shop in the county, Star Wars/Serenity book was all gone ten minutes after the store opened. Drove home in shame.
that’s a bummer! i made sure that i got to my store at their usual opening time, only to have them opened earlier. they had a bit of a festival atmostphere with several collectibles dealers setting up booths in the parking lot, but i managed to get the comics i wanted… including Mouse Guard
Yeah, it was kind of a shame, but it was nice to get out of the house. I do love going out for Free Comic Book Day…so many of the shops do as much as possible to make them fun and special. And that Mouse Guard book is just beautifully made.
indeed – free hardcover!
and bonus: the Peanuts freebie is a flipcover for Adventure Time!
