Comic Giveaway Day / Free Comic Book Day Preview 2026 – The Best Day of The Year

20

It’s that time of year again. Free Comic Book Day / Comic Giveaway Day is upon us. Let’s start off with the elephant in the room. May 2nd this year will be the same day we all know and love, but because of Diamond Distributors’ filing for bankruptcy, an agreement couldn’t be reached between publishers for Free Comic Book Day. The result is that we have both Free Comic Book Day and Comic Giveaway Day. Both are happening on the same day, both are accomplishing the same goal, but with two different names. You’ll have 46 different titles to choose from this weekend. Without further ado, let’s get into the free comics available this weekend.

For your convenience, publishers are arranged in alphabetical order with the publisher in BOLD! Titles are color-coded based on audience age. Mature, Teen, All Ages
