Get Street Fighter #0 and Manga Classics: Les Miserables #0 free!
UDON Entertainment is proud to announce that we will be participating in FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014!
This is UDON’s first time ever participating in the Free Comic Book Day event, and we’re going all-out with two amazing comics that will speak to a wide variety of our comics and manga fans! First up, Street Fighter returns to single-issue comics with the new Street Fighter #0 2014, a collection of brand new Street Fighter stories, and a preview of Street Fighter Origins: Akuma! Then, UDON launches it’s ‘Manga Classics’ line with Les Miserables: The Fall of Fantine, a special self-contained story to whet-your-whistle for our 2014 graphic novel release Les Miserables!
Free Comic Book Day is a single day – the first Saturday in May each year – when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE to anyone who comes into their stores. To check to see if a comic book store near you is participating, visit: http://www.freecomicbookday.com/storelocator.

You should go in and check it out! Besides, there will be lots of other great FCBD books available too! Make a whole day of visiting shops in your area.
I don’t have a shop near me! Help!
We will be making our books available digitally through Comixology in a few weeks, and all remaining print copies will be available at UDONstore.com in June.
