The global crisis has hit us all. As our industry’s retail and publishing hearts shudder, we’re all groping for ways to ride-out the storm. I became painfully aware this week that readers are having a shitty old time of it too; whether unable to visit their local store, unable to justify the cost of alternatives during tight times, or just stuck in the house with a dangerously bored teenager.

Basically: it seemed like the very least I could do was give away a bunch of free stories.

So I spoke to my excellent editor at Boom! Studios. He spoke to his excellent bosses. And they spoke to their excellent partners at Comixology.

And at lightning speed they’ve put together ONE HELL OF A GIVEAWAY. But here’s the trick:

YOU GOTTA PAY IT FORWARD.

Our industry cannot survive without our retail partners. They’re hurting like hell right now.

So, first up, the freebies we’re putting out today are ALL things you wouldn’t find on their shelves anyway. (Specifically, THE FIRST THREE ISSUES of three very different, very beautiful, and very well received comics, which came out over the past few years. Hit individual links on the left to see more about each book.)

But more importantly, here’s what we’d like to propose:

IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU READ FOR FREE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUY THE COLLECTED VOLUME FROM YOUR LOCAL STORE AS SOON AS YOU SAFELY CAN.

AND GIFT IT TO SOMEONE WHO’LL LOVE IT.
