May 7th, 2016, has the distinct privilege of being the latest in a long line of Free Comic Book Days. The day where fans can get out, check out out new books and throw some dollars at local comic book shops. Archie Comics has two books they're offering fans this year:
FCBD 2016 Archie #1 and
FCBD 2016 Sonic Sampler. Archie Comics is also doubling down on the day as a Gold Sponsor of the event.
Mark Waid and Fiona Staples get the reprint treatment in
FCBD 2016 Archie #1. As the new school year approaches, you'd think Archie Andrews would be looking forward to classes and fun - but nothing is as it seems in the little town of Riverdale. Is this a one-off, or a sign of bigger changes awaiting America's favorite teens... and the entire town?
And Sonic fans aren't left out with
FCBD 2016 Sonic Sampler. With a script by Ian Flynn and illustrations Jamal Peppers, Terry Austin, John Workman, Gabriel Cassata, Tracy Yardley, Jim Amash, Jack Morelli and Matt Herms,
FCBD 2016 Sonic Sampler gives readers the best of both worlds. Join Sonic and friends as they band together to save the world from the evil ambitions of Dr. Eggman in these select stories from
Sonic the Hedgehog and
Sonic Universe! Plus, get a sneak peek of what's to come with a special "Fast Forward Feature."
Full press release below.
