From Siliconera:

On May 7, 2022, people will be able to take part in Free Comic Book Day 2022. As usual, this means visiting different stores to get free comic books. Each one is essentially a sample, which offers a taste of a series or manga volume. For 2022, there will be 11 Gold Sponsor issues and 36 Silver Sponsor ones. This assortment will include the Bloodborne comic, a sampler of Viz Media’s Pokemon Journeys and Pokemon Adventures XY mangas, and a Street Fighter issue focusing on Blanka. Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead‘s Clementine is also getting her own series.

In terms of video game-related comic options, like Bloodborne, here are previews people could pick up.

  • Bloodborne #1
  • Clementine with peeks at Everyday Hero Machine Boy and Sea Serpent’s Heir.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog
  • Street Fighter Masters: Blanka
As for manga samplers, these are the previews available during Free Comic Book Day 2022.

  • The Guardian of Fukushima
  • Kaiju No. 8 & Sakamoto Days
  • Pokemon Journeys & Pokemon Adventures XY
  • Wandance & Blackguard
 
A guy I work with mentioned something about his kids getting some free comics from somewhere. I wonder if it was part of this......
 
Pretty cool, but this feels like a lot of tree cutting. Especially if you can read them when sitting in B&N with a Nook or even just looking at their selection, although sitting in for a read feels less likely with Covid being around. I would imagine they would offer discounts on this day but I haven't kept up.
 
I think free comic day sounds like a good exposure for the artists. But I suppose despite the free release it would be a good way to give them support of some sort. It'd be definitely good as well.
