Some Free Comics You Should Nab While You Can

Sure, so this Wednesday was kind of a weak one for comics, but that's because everyone was saving the awesome up for tomorrow. What's so special about tomorrow, you may ask yourself (beside it being Saturday, and therefore requiring no work for the majority of you)? Well, it's Free Comic Book Day 2008, where stores across the nation are giving away a lot of free books, many of which are worth your attention. Want to know which ones? Click that "more" button.

Atlantis' Lost Son Saves This Week's Comics

Every now and again you find something with such a wonderful, perfect, title that it throws every other story in the world into sharp relief. "Why," you think to yourself, "does every other story in the world not have a title so ideal to crystalize its content and intent into one small, simple phrase that touches my heart so?" And then you weep the tears of the unfulfilled, knowing that such perfection is so rare. All of which is my way of saying that this week sees the release of a comic called Jesus Hates Zombies.

American Hero Lets Readers Inside Wild Cards

When is a TV reality show not a TV reality show? When it's a multi-author blog in support for the latest in the Wild Cards series of anthologies.

April Brings Wild Cards To Comics

For those of us who spent teenage years lost in books and comics, 1987's Wild Cards was a dream come true: an anthology of short prose fiction about superheroes written by some of science fiction's favorite authors. One of them flew around in a tricked-out VW Beetle! Another of them had kinky sex magic powers! Who could resist? Sadly, the answer seemed to be "comic book fans." A 1990 comic-book adaptation of the successful prose series failed, but now a comics publisher is finally trying its luck with Wild Cards once again. More »
