Whoa what a couple o’ weeks, amiright? Did you know that nearly every comic book company worth a gosh darn gives out free comic books on the first Saturday in May? That’s right, I think we can all use a little outing this Saturday. Here are some of our most anticipated free comics to pick up at your LCS (Local Comic Shop) this weekend. Don’t be greedy, take only one! We previewed the free books last year…and we’re still into comics. Who knew?

Dash was able to talk to us in the middle of his book tour after returning from MoCCA (Museum of Comic & Cartoon Art) Arts Fest this weekend, where he was featured as a special guest. Dash signs books and screens animation at Hub Comics this weekend on Saturday at 7pm.

EARTH PRIME TIME: HUB COMICS REBOOT IN SOMERVILLE

DISASTERPIECE THEATRE @ HUB COMICS
You’ve got some crappy movies. No, not talking about those movies, we’re talking about VHS tapes. V.H.S.? Video Home System cassettes were a popular form of storing movies and TV shows in the 1980s. Yes? Yes! Those! Titles like Sleepaway Camp, Basket Case or The Barbarians (from the director of Cannibal Holocaust! Duh.) need to find a home somewhere and the kind souls at Hub Comics are opening their doors and laying out the cutest little cots you’ve ever seen. They called it Disasterpiece Theatre. Bring yours!
