Marvel Giving Away Free Avenging Spider-man #1
Oct 6th
[private]Okay, so it’s not 100% free in the sense that you walk into your local comic shop and grab a copy, but its an interesting story none-the-less. Marvel is giving away FREE DIGITAL COPIES of Avenging Spider-man #1 with each direct market (meaning from your local comic shop) physical copy of Avenging Spider-man #1 you buy. This is done by polybagging yet another of Marvel’s comics (they like doing that now, anyone else notice?) with redeemable digital download codes inside. This will be much like last month’s Justice League #1.

I am all for ethnic diversity in comics, but it feels like every new character @dccomics is adding has to be a minority. Absurd #new52 BS.
