Free Comic Book Day

Logo_option_1
Tomorrow (Saturday, May 5th) is Free Comic Book Day! Go down to your local comic book shop and pick up a bunch of free titles. Today's Thing is a list some of the free comic books on the web. There's a zillion of them! I just recently started reading comics. I never really read many as a kid, but all the free ones on the web, especially the more adventurous adult titles got me buying a few. I've been reading the new Buffy comic (basically season 8 of the show) as well as The Goon, The Walking Dead and Y's The Last Man on Earth. Most of those are older comics, but have trade paperbacks out for them. Here's a short list of free online comic books, mostly by publisher:

Image Comics---The Walking Dead and others.

Marvel Comics---You need to register, but they have a ton of comics!

Vertigo---All of the imprints first issues including Sandman, Preacher and others.

Top Cow Comics---Tomb Raider, Witchblade and other cheese.

A Directory of Online Comics---Lots of obscure, web-only stuff.

Dark Horse---Hellboy, Buffy, The Goon

Antarctic press

Oni Press---Indy style comics.

Wasteland

Comic Book Archive---Over 4,400 classic comics from the 1920's-1980's.

Golden Age Comics---Thousands of more pulpy golden age comics.

That's just a taste. I've downloaded over 80 or so comics as well as read a bunch online. A great comic book site is CBR---tons of info and links.
