Free Comics!

No, it's not free comic book month, but DC Comics announced Friday that a number of TPBs of early story arcs of many of its Vertigo titles are available for download. Titles include Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Fables, Y: The Last Man, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, and The Exterminators just to name a few.

Pretty smart marketing. I think some of these titles aren't being published any more, but a number of them are, and it's a perfect way to readers hooked on a series and start picking up the current books.
