I've mentioned a few times how I always try and give comic books away at Halloween to kids who come calling with their demands for treats or threats of treats. I've been doing it for twenty years, and it has become quite a thing. I get between a hundred or to hundred kids in total who know specifically seek our house out, and last year for the first time, parents came by who were kids the first time. I am really, really old. In that interim, comic book publishers, distributors and stores have cottoned onto this opportunity and have made bundles of free or subsidised comics to be given away with a younger audience in mind. And calling it Trick-Or-Read.

This year, courtesy of Penguin Random House, Diamond, IDW, Marvel, Kodansha – and for the first time Dark Horse, Trick-Or-Read has Blue Book, Captain Marvel, Cooking With Monsters, Dark Spaces, Spider-Man, Star Wars: High Republic, Moon Knight, Origin/PTSD and Lovely Muco/Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen.
