Tomorrow is free comic book day!

I know a lot of the readers of this site don't read comics but you should. Here is a quote from Cory Doctorow that expresses a reason why comics writing is so great:

Living in a space that no one watches too closely is one of the secret ways that people get to do excellent stuff. Science fiction's status for decades as a pariah genre meant that writers could do things with literary style, theme, and political content that their mainstream counterparts could never get away with (games, comics, early hip-hop, mashups, and many of the other back laneways of popular culture have also enjoyed this status).

Well all day tomorrow pretty much every comic shop in the world will be giving away tons of free, new comics. It's the "7th annual free comic book day" designed to encourage people to discover the medium. While there are plenty of amazing non-superhero and alternative comics being offered, I'd highly recommend you pick up a copy of All Star Superman #1 written by Island Zero All Star Grant Morrison. It's a gorgeous book that deftly explores the relationships of comics' biggest hero while exploring the strange reality distortion of a super being.
