Article Summary

Titan Comics launches its own Free Comic Book Day in May 2026 with exclusive Conan and Gun Honey issues.
Retailers can give away Conan: Tides of the Tyrant-King #0 and Gun Honey Doubles Down #0 free to fans.
Both #0 issues serve as preludes to new Conan and Gun Honey storylines set for summer 2026 releases.
Distribution changes for Free Comic Book Day 2026 follow Diamond’s bankruptcy and new Universal partnership.

Universal Distribution in Canada has bought the rights to Free Comic Book Day from Diamond Comic Distributors Inc, the debtors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. I have heard that it is going ahead, through Universal, for the first Saturday in May as usual, with a far smaller number of publishers involved. I am not even sure how the distribution will be done, considering the differing deals with Lunar and Penguin Random House. But, as has been pointed out, no publisher actually has to ask permission to just give comic books away. And for the first Saturday in May 2026, as part of Titan Comics' February 2026 solicits and solicitations, Titan Comics will be letting retailers give away Conan The Barbarian: Tides Of The Tyrant-King #0 by Jim Zub and Jesus Merino and Gun Honey Doubles Down #0 by Charles Ardai and Ace Continuado. Both the intro comic books to Conan and the Gun Honey events in the summer of 2026.
