Free comic books

Marvel is making a host of comic book stories available free through its Marvel Unlimited app until 4 May. They include the likes of Civil War and the brilliant Thanos Wins, written by Donny Cates.

Dark Horse may not be the best-known publisher of comic books around, but it was responsible for some stonkers, including Hellboy.

It has made a bunch of comics available digitally for free to help us pass the time at home, including some of its licensed Disney books. 

Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition

The normal Cards Against Humanity game can be great ‒ if incredibly inappropriate ‒ fun, but it’s not really something you can play with the kids.

Thankfully, the makers have released a family edition that you can print off and play with at home.

And what’s more, it’s absolutely free.
