BOOM! Studios is the latest comic company to team up with those crazy cats over at MySpace. Starting yesterday, the MySpace Comic Book community began offering BOOM!’s latest title, North Wind #1, for free on their site, with plans to offer the rest of the mini-series as well … every issue, in full, the day they are released, for free.
There’s also a trailer for the book up on MySpace:

The press release BOOM! sent out describes the book as such:
Written by David DiGilio, best known for writing the film EIGHT BELOW and creating the ABC TV show TRAVELER, NORTH WIND is a five issue mini-series set in a future Los Angeles after a new ice age has covered the earth. NORTH WIND chronicles the rise of a new hero in a dystopian world where people burn books for fuel, and Skinrunners trade valuable pelts for rations and warmth. The first issue features a cover by Andrew Huerta with interior artwork by newcomer and soon to be fan-favorite, Alex Cal.
