NASA recently announced that Mars has water on the planet. Many comic book fans on the internet decided to "celebrate" and have fun with the news by posting photos of Martian Manhunter, a DC Comics superhero who is from Mars and was the last survivor of his race when he came to earth and joined the Justice League. Manhunter, also known as J'onn J'onzz, was part of the Justice League cartoon and also the Young Justice cartoon.

National Comic Book Day is celebrated on September 25th every year. Some people get it confused with Free Comic Book Day which is celebrated on the first Saturday of May. On Free Comic Book Day, many comic stores give out free comics from publishers like DC, Marvel, Darkhorse and more. A lot of people also tend to dress up as their favorite heroes when they go out to the stores. National Comic Book Day is not celebrated as much as Free Comic Book Day. Many people just go to their local comic store and purchase some comics.
National Comic Book may have not been celebrated by many but Batman Day certainly was. Many Batman fans, new and old, put on their favorite Batman themed shirt and went out to celebrate in different ways. Whether it was going to their local comic store and picking up some free goodies that were being handed out or watching the old cartoon series, many were enjoying the day. Unfortunately, I was not able to celebrate Batman day like I did last year when Batman had his 75th anniversary because of work (Cons of being an adult) but after work I was able to put on my Batman shirt and enjoy my time by relaxing.
Many comic shops also give out free comics for Halloween ComicFest which is coming up October 31t. The shops also offer mini comic packs for people to give out to trick-or-treaters. So head out to your local comic store and take advantage of the free comics but also purchase some other comics.
