If seeing The Avengers on opening day inspires you to explore the world of comic books, there’s a perfect opportunity to do so on May 5, Free Comic Book Day. Cosmic Comics will be raffling off a copy of the original first issue of The Avengers from 1963 (no, not mint); Maximum Comics will have local artists sketching at both of its locations; Alternate Reality Comics will feature signings from comics creators; HellPop! in the Arts Factory will have local bands performing; and comics stores throughout Vegas will give away freebies and hold other special events.
