It’s your friendly annual reminder to go out and visit your friendly neighborhood comic shop and pick up some free comics.

Free Comic Book Day is an annual event that takes place the first Saturday in May (May 7, 2011) to help generate – or regenerate – interest in comic books.

A lot of the big comic companies release titles for the day and, depending on your shop, you can often find a few decent indies as well. Some even dump out those quarter boxes simply to get them out of the store. (But please, please, please do not think that every comic in the store is free).

Epic Mickey was one of the most talked about games at E3 2010, so everyone was expecting to hear about some kind of special edition. Toys ‘R Us just happened to be the first site to reveal it. There’s a product listing there for what’s billed as the Epic Mickey Collector’s Edition. Like the standard edition, it’ll be available for Wii owners to buy on November 15, 2010…

Disney Interactive Studios gave a lot of booth time to Epic Mickey at E3 2010.

Available Fall 2010 for Wii, Epic Mickey will include more than 60 Disney animated characters and feature a brush-wielding Mickey Mouse.

With the power of paint and paint thinner, a 1920s-to-1930s-era Mikey is able to erase and redraw the game’s environment (*cough* Shaun White Skateboarding *cough*) in this action-platformer-RPG hybrid designed by Warren Spector (and developed by Junction Point Studios).

Micky has quite a presence at E3 2010. There is an enclosed section of the floor that only houses Mickey products. Several kiosks demoing Epic Mickey wrapped around the booth and artwork lined the walls. There were also iPad comics featuring Mickey and his pals that we posted about earlier.

You might think there were only console and PC games at E3 2010. Oh, how wrong you are.

There were plenty of iPod Touches and iPads (secured to displays, of course) showing games and even a few apps on the exhibition floor.

In the same booth as the Disney’s Epic Mickey was a small area with a half dozen iPads running a Disney DigiComics app.

Sure, it may seem promising with a new Panel system, multiplayer elements and Disney characters and settings but Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is marred by awkward controls, a slow pace and confusing role-playing elements.

The Nintendo Wii has pulled off quite a coup becoming the exclusive home to a game that promises to change everything you think you know about Mickey Mouse.

Disney’s corporate mascot wasn’t always the happy, smiling doormat we’ve come to know him as. When Walt Disney first created him, he had a playful but mischievous streak that got him into trouble. That’s the Mickey Mouse legendary game creator Warren Spector loves. When Disney officials approached him about redoing Mickey in a video game, he was shocked to find they wanted to bring that mousy miscreant out of the mothballs.
