Comixology Begins Its Annual 12 Days Of Free Comics
By Nick Tylwalk
Let’s face it: a partridge in a pear tree might be festive, but it sure isn’t practical. It also takes up space, and I think you’d have to feed it too. So instead of the 12 Days of Christmas, Comixology wants to suggest the 12 Days of Free Comics instead.
It’s pretty much exactly what is sounds like. Starting today and running through December 22 (I checked the math), Comixology is giving away a different free digital comic each day. Gift it someone or download it for yourself — the choise is yours.
“It’s been an outstanding year for us at comiXology, and we want every comic fan to help us celebrate with our Third Annual 12 Days of Free Comics,” co-founder and CEO David Steinberger said in a press release. “It’s you, the comics fan, that push us every day to create an even brighter future for comics, graphic novels, and manga worldwide. These comics are for you!”
Just to get you even more pumped, I can tell you that the first free comic is The Wake #1 by Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy, which is a heck of a way to kick things off. Hit up the Comixology Tumblr page, click on the proper day and away you go to free comic land. And tell them Bam Smack Pow sent you, not that Santa guy.
