Alterna Comics is #BRINGINGBACKNEWSPRINT May 3 + giveaway

What is one of the big complaints readers have about comic books? Price! While today's comic books are fancy with glossy full colored pages, it costs much more. So Alterna Comics had the bright idea to bring back the original format: Newsprint. Along with an affordable price.
Alterna is launching a number of bimonthly limited series, along with some quarterlies and one-shots in May and June.

Every black and white series will be priced at $1.00, and the color series will be priced at $1.50. There will be comics for adults, teens, and children.

May 3 releases:
