Red Giant will participate heavily in the event, offering an unprecedented four books, marking the premier of their Giant-Size line in the form of "zero" issues. All four books will be bundled together, helping insure readers have equal access to the entire line.
"The Free Comic Book Day event has become perhaps the single most important day in the industry," said Benny Powell, CEO, Red Giant Entertainment. "We see this as a wonderful and unique way to launch our free Giant-Size line through a venue that the industry is accustomed to, and help retain the audience-building initiative with our continued support of the industry when our Giant-Size line launches a few months later."
The Giant-Size line, scheduled to launch July 2014 as an on-going weekly event from Red Giant, which will produce 1 million free books every Wednesday, to help build traffic and readership for the industry. Red Giant not only benefits from the advertising revenue this venture generates, but also the awareness it builds for its properties and a stronger, healthier marketplace for the entire comics industry.
"Free Comic Book Day was founded on the notion that we, as an industry, are stronger when we work together and build the good habit of reading," added Powell. "Our business is founded on the notion that everyone can win. Fostering literacy and imaginations are at the heart of everything we do, and we look forward to joining our peers in this effort."
