Hey there my friends, I am starting off your weekend early with a little reminder because today is not only the “Free Comic Book Day” for 2026, but its also “Comics Giveaway Day”. The latter is a brand-new event that comes care of the folks over at Penguin Random House who now are distributing a whole lot of comics now that Diamond Distribution has gone out of business. The original “Free Comic Book Day” is being curated by the Universal Distribution Network and will feature the titles from the companies that did not move over to PRH. If you didn’t manage to see our posts with the individual rundown from each side of the fence you can click HERE for FCBD 2026 and then HERE for CGD 2026. There are almost “50” different titles to choose from which I think is pretty cool.
