It’s already time again for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 5!
Every year, comic publishers and distributors conspire to place their shamelessly outdated, frequently pirated print product into the hands of us cheapskate geekoid fans everywhere, not unlike Ben and Jerrys’ Free Cone Day and World of Warcraft every day. (Did you know it’s now free to play up to Level 20?)
Alongside old favorites such as THE AVENGERS and TRANSFORMERS, scary comic book giveaways include the self-explanatory LADY DEATH and ZOMBIE KID, which appears to be an undead take on DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. More >>

As the world memorializes the one hundredth anniversary of the loss of the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic, let us take a moment to remember the man who memorialized the tragedy before it happened.
His name was Morgan Robertson. He was an author with a passion for the sea. In a 1905 review of his work, THE NEW YORK TIMES referred to Mr. Robertson admiringly as the “Kipling of the Sea,” meaning he did for the water what Rudyard Kipling did for the wilderness in THE JUNGLE BOOK.
In 1898, Mr. Robertson was an up-and-coming writer when he first published FUTILITY, a short novel about a giant ocean liner with a grim destiny. That vessel’s name? Titan. In Robertson’s story, published 14 years before the Titanic sank, the Titan also struck an iceberg on a fateful April night. Though the description of the shipwreck doesn’t amount to more than a couple pages, the similarities to the Titanic were striking, including the rough length of the ship, which was 800 feet vs. the Titanic’s 890 feet, as well as the passenger count of 3000.
Were the similarities purely coincidental? Or did the author claim to possess uncanny abilities?
