Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. Thousands of comic book stores, bookstores and libraries will be giving away free comic books. Bleeding Cool ran thirty-three comic book shops doing cool stuff for Free Comic Book Day tomorrow. Then another thirteen. But we really should try and get over fifty, right? Actually, those sixteen giving away Blu-Rays of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania would do that… let's break those out a bit by state and add some new ones. Twenty-eight in all. Add that to the 33 and the 13, and that's seventy-four.

If you'd like to see your store displayed on a follow-up early morning tomorrow, email me at richjohnston@bleedingcool.com with details similar to the below. As for me, I'll be between Forbidden Planet and Gosh Comics in London, and a certain Coronation.
