2022's and Ninjak.

Usually held the first Saturday of May, Free Comic Book Day has become a popular tradition among fans and retailers. Nearly every comic publisher participates, creating special one-shots featuring their top characters and stories. Many of these one-shots serve as great jumping-on points for new readers, and some publishers use them to tease big events and characters; in the past, Free Comic Book Day offerings have led into major events such as Blackest Night. In years past, Valiant Comics has successfully used Free Comic Book Day for both, creating unique stories designed to hook new fans while offering tantalizing glimpses as to what is to come. Valiant is looking to catch lightning in a bottle again with their 2022 Free Comic Book Day title, The Year of Valiant 2022.
