May 5 2012 is Free Comic Book Day . The reason behind FCBD is to experience comic fans having a good time , people decked out in superhero costumes , supporting local comic stores , and most of all getting a chance to get your hands on free stuff . So if you’re new to the comic book world and want to know whats  new don’t miss out on this event . Check with your local shop for their participation and rules .

DC Comics today talked about five reasons you would want to come to Free Comic Book Day this year .

 

This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, and we’re counting it down here at DCComics.com. What makes this year’s FCBD so special? Well, we could never think to sum everything up in one little paragraph. But maybe if you gave us five…

#1 – New Faces


Get a glimpse of the future and a look at some new characters inside of DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 FCBD EDITION.  Among these new faces is Pandora! You’ve been wondering about her since her appearances in FLASHPOINT and all throughout THE NEW 52. Place your bets now about what role she plays in the story…but she does take up nearly half of Jim Lee’s FCBD cover.

#2 – Superman Family Adventures

 

FCBD is your first chance to see this exciting new all-ages series from Art Baltazar and Franco, the creators behind TINY TITANS. We’ll be previewing it in our DC NATION SUPERMAN FAMILY FLIP BOOK. Be sure to pick it up. You can even say it’s for your kids. (Don’t worry, we won’t tell.)

#3 – Jim Lee’s Custom Shirt Design

 

Jim’s design is a homage to a classic piece by José Luis García-López, but you don’t need to know that to appreciate it. You just need to be a fan of the Justice League. Or of great art in general.

#4 – Creator Signings and Other FCBD Festivities

 

One of the best things about FCBD is how, for many comic shops, it’s become a bonafide event with creator signings, panel discussions, art workshops and cosplay. Check in with your local comic store for plans and schedules. They may have something really cool planned for Saturday. And if the cashier dressed as Plastic Man isn’t enough, there’s always…

#5 – Free Comics!!!

 

The whole point of Free Comic Book Day is to celebrate our love of comics, support our favorite comic shops and to invite a few other people to the party. Let’s face it, even your most comic-resistant friends are going to have a hard time passing up free books, and there are so many to choose from. So don’t be shy about inviting friends, don’t be afraid to try out something new, but above all else…DON’T MISS OUT!

 

I can’t wait to get my hands on some Jim Lee swag . Is there anything you guys are looking forward to getting ?
