Today comic book stores around the world celebrate "Free Comic Book Day", offering anyone who pays them a visit some free comic books. This year there's 50 different titles to choose from, including a reprint of Neil Gaiman's "Lady Justice" (not seen in print in nearly 25 years) and a new Fight Club story by Chuck Palahniuk. The Marvel and D.C. universes are represented, as well as Doctor Who, The Simpsons, Jim Henson's Labyrinth, and even something called Steampunk Goldilocks. Saturday many bookstores will also be recognizing "Independent Bookstores Day" with special events, though ironically, some fans may be tempted to visit Amazon.com instead to download some free Kindle editions of last year's free comic books.

I can't believe it's not copypasta... because that's fucking stupid.

Sounds like every Japanese comic or cartoon I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.

It's sad to see that the downvoting here is getting almost as bad as it is at reddit. Comics from Japan are well known for their rather unique content. Pointing this fact out shouldn't result in punishment here.

Have you really never heard about hentai [wikipedia.org]? What was described in that earlier comment is a core component of Japanese culture, for hundreds of years [wikipedia.org].
