Free Comic Book Day (Marvel)

    (Marvel, 2006-Present)
™ and © 2006 Marvel Characters, Inc.

May 5th, 2007 heralded the sixth Free Comic Book Day! Publishers provided comic book stores with free books to lure customers in and hopefully get the reading public interested in their particular books.

Chronicling the latest Marvel Adventures from their animated television series, Marvel Adventures, the House That Stan Built resets and retells stories from the Marvel Universe for a new generation of readers. In this case, “The Titanium Trap” revamps the classic Iron Man meeting of Tony Stark’s bodyguard with the Titanium Man, then throws in a typical Hulk tale of mistaken monsters in “Misunderstood,” Want more? How about a Chris Eliopoulos and Marc Sumerak Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius short entitled, “Basket-Brawl!”?
