ORLANDO, FL - Red Giant Entertainment Inc. (OTC: REDG), an innovative Intellectual Property company specializing in high quality characters and content for use in a variety of media and entertainment, is pleased to announce that it will give away nearly 100,000 ad-supported free comics books, in a dedicated section of the Keenspot/Red Giant island Booth #2635 (across from Marvel Comics) at Comic-Con International: San Diego, Wednesday through Sunday, July 23 - 27, at the San Diego Convention Center.

"Our launch of 400,000 GIANT-SIZE comics back on May 3rd for the comics industry's Free Comic Book Day was a success, and to build on that we had already printed almost 25,000 additional of each of our four GIANT-SIZE #0 titles especially for Comic-Con," said Red Giant COO David Campiti. "There is no better audience to introduce our titles to than the super fans who make the pilgrimage to Comic-Con."

Those titles will be GIANT-SIZE ACTION (featuring TESLA and WAYWARD SONS); GIANT-SIZE ADVENTURE (MAGIKA and THE FIRST DAUGHTER), GIANT-SIZE FANTASY (DUEL IDENTITY and PANDORA'S BLOGS) and GIANT-SIZE THRILLS (TESLA and WAYWARD SONS) nearly 100,000 total books.

"Despite such a huge circulation for Free Comic Book Day, many fans couldn't get copies of each of our four books before they were gone," added Campiti. "We're happy to make such a large quantity of them available to the largest comics convention in the nation. If you missed any of them, this is your chance."

This is Red Giant's fourth appearance at Comic-Con, located once again next to Marvel and Image Comics, with a 20' x 20' booth soaring nearly 20 feet high. Each side will showcase specific creators and properties as well as feature videos of its IPs on monitors, in addition to its retail graphic novel store and its dedicated free comics area.

In further support of its various properties, Red Giant will host booth appearances from its top creators: Benny Powell (CEO and WAYWARD SONS writer); David Lawrence (Editor-in-Chief and co-writer for MAGIKA and TESLA); Mort Castle (novelist and writer of DARCHON); Jinky Coronado (writer/artist of BANZAI GIRL, and artist of EXPOSURE and PANDORA'S BLOGS); David Campiti (COO and writer of EXPOSURE and PANDORA'S BLOGS); and BRIAN AUGUSTYN (Red Giant story editor), as well as surprise guests and YouTube star "Markiplier" Mark Fischbach.

Many of these creators will also attend Sunday's Red Giant/Keenspot event panel at 3 pm Sunday, July 27th, in Room 4 of the Convention Center, hosted by Markiplier.

"All of this is in support of our upcoming GIANT-SIZE weekly comics launch this fall through comics shops and the biggest toy store chain in America," said CEO Benny Powell. "We couldn't be more proud."
