As you prepare for Free Comic Book Day, keep in mind that comics aren’t the only thing free this Saturday. On May 3rd, Viz Media announced they will be offering 2 action-packed manga samplers to compliment your comic haul. You may know Viz Media as one of the leading distributors in the anime industry, with titles like Naruto, Dragonball, Death Note, Sailor Moon; the list goes on. This isn’t the first time Viz has been part of the event. The last few times I attended Free Comic Book Day, I was able to collect samples from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and My Hero Academia. The sampler for JBA in particular actually got me interested enough to give the anime a chance. I fell in love! This year, Viz is offering two samplers that everyone will be sure to pick up.
The second sampler will contain excerpts from Dragonball Super and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
The Boruto manga begins many years after the events of the Great Ninja War. Boruto, every bit as mischievous as Naruto, but twice as cunning, seeks to make a name for himself in order to stop living under his father’s shadow. But he seems to be too much like his old man to do that. I would recommend picking this up if only to see if it appeals to you. Written by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimito, Boruto follows the same route Naruto followed but manages to tell a story completely its own. There are current anime out for both titles, so check them out when you get a chance.
Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday, May 6th, so be sure your local comic book shop has these samplers in stock.
