In addition to all the guest and swag, Brave New Worlds will also be donating 10% of all sales at both stores on Free Comic Book Day to The Hero Initiative, which is a publicly-supported, non-profit corporation that financially assists comic creators in need.

You may be wondering what exactly is Free Comic Book Day and if you can just come to the store and take a free comic book off the shelf. May 3, 2008 marks the seventh year that participating stores across the globe will be handing out free comic books. There are actually specially-produced issues for Free Comic Book Day, so make sure you see a staff member to get your copy. See below for a partial list of the comics to be handed out this year.
