Red Giant Entertainment, “an intellectual property development company in business to produce compelling, transmedia properties that become instantly recognizable to massive audiences worldwide”, is heavily working Free Comic Book Day – in 2014, offering an unprecedented four books, marking the premier of their Giant-Size line in the form of “zero” issues. All four books will be bundled together, helping insure readers have equal access to the entire line.

The Giant-Size line, scheduled to launch July 2014 as an on-going weekly event from Red Giant, which will produce 1 million free books every Wednesday, to help build traffic and readership for the industry. Red Giant not only benefits from the advertising revenue this venture generates, but also the awareness it builds for its properties and a stronger, healthier marketplace for the entire comics industry.
