What is Free Comic Book Day?

Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops.

That’s right, folks. Free comics!

This year, Oni Press is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of FCBD and are happy to offer the following title:

RESURRECTION #0 - FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2009
By Marc Guggenheim and Justin Greenwood

From the writer of Marvel's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN comes a science fiction epic that explores the aftermath of Earth's most brutal conflict. For ten years the alien invaders have laid waste to our planet, but now they've vanished, leaving the survivors with two questions - "Where did the 'bugs' go?" and "Where does humanity go from here?" It's existential questions, alien-fueled intrigue, and some of the biggest action in comics today! Also includes a preview of STEPHEN COLBERT’S TEK JANSEN!

The FCBD issue is 32-pages in full color! And it’s FREE!
