The first Saturday in May (which just so happens to be today) comic book stores around North America give away free comic books! The event, which started in 2002, is cleverly named "Free Comic Book Day" and was created to encourage people to read more comic books and to celebrate each the unique nature of each individual comic store. Stores around the United States and Canada are giving away free comic books (the exact number depends on the store and the availability of free comics), holding signings, etc.
Feel free to go into any comic book store around the nation! The website has a box to search for the closest participating comic book store around the nation, FAQs, and a list of some of the free comics.
Speaking of comics, Emmy Cicierega recently posted an entry about one of the sponsors, Archie Comics, and a hilarious picture ensued:
If that actually happened, the world just might explode from hilarity and joy.

That might actually be a good movie. Would certainly explain why everyone loves Archie.
