Get Ready For Free Comic Book Day With These Previews
Free Comic Book Day is mere weeks away, so here's a few issues that The Escapist Comics is looking forward to.
Free Comic Book Day is a kind of Christmas for comic book fans, in more ways than one. Along with the promise of free books and discount deals provided by local comic shops, you'll also find the rampant commercialism of publishers trying to convince you to buy their upcoming series. Not that it's always a bad thing; after all, sometimes these previews just look incredibly promising despite knowing what they're made for!
In that spirit, here are a few of the Free Comic Book Day previews that we at The Escapist are looking forward to. Whether the finished series will meet our expectations remains to be seen, but until then we'll feel like kids on Christmas morning for:
Rocket Raccoon
Rocket Raccoon is practically destined to become a favorite character of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so of course it's only natural that he'll get his own comic series to book. The Free Comic Book Day Rocket Raccoon serves as an introduction to the character, pitting him against antropomorphized animal races to rescue a princess who is clearly more capable than him. The book's tone has a very strong Looney Tunes meets Star Wars feel, making it ideal for younger readers or any adults who still enjoy such antics. (And good on you if so!)
You'll be able to get these books and more from local comics retailers on May 3, 2014. Stay tuned for more coverage!
