From Zenescope’s press release:

Zenescope Entertainment, publisher of the highly popular series Grimm Fairy Tales and the critically acclaimed Se7en, regrets to inform fans and retailers that Dyno Force #0 will not be shipping on Free Comic Book Day. Due to undisclosed legal reasons, Zenescope is working with Diamond to relist the issue along with #1 at a discounted rate of .50 a book.

“We’re very disappointed that we will be unable to ship the FCBD issue of Dyno Force to retailers in time for the event,” explains Zenescope co-founder Joe Brusha. “We are still very excited about this series and we still plan to stick with a low cover price over the first few issues. This will give retailers a great product they can turn their customers on to without taking the risk they normally have to with an independent book.” (more…)

From Diamond’s press release:

For the sixth consecutive year, thousands of comic book stores will distribute millions of comic books to their customers free of charge when Free Comic Book Day returns on Saturday, May 5th, 2007!

On that day, comic book shops worldwide will join with comic publishers to celebrate the comic book community and their stores. With 44 titles to choose from, the selection of books offered on May 5th will include comics for all ages.

“In the last six years, Free Comic Book Day has become a highly anticipated event,” says Elissa Lynch, Public Relations Associate for Diamond Comic Distributors. “Not only will customers receive special edition comics but stores create a party-like atmosphere with creator signings, costume characters, coupons and more. Also, Sony Picture’s Spiderman 3 hits the big screen the day before Free Comic Book Day, making the first week in May the biggest week of the year for comic fans.”

Free Comic Book Day benefits everyone involved: customers get free books and, maybe, their first exposure to comics; publishers get broad exposure; and retailers get a chance to show off their stores and attract new customers.

“Free Comic Book Day is a total industry effort to bring more readers to comics, so it’s important for all corners of the comics’ industry to be a part of the event. Publishers put their best foot forward with FCBD comics that will be attractive to a wide audience in encouraging that audience to visit comic shops on May 5,” says Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics and the originator of the Free Comic Book Day promotion.
