DCBS included a handful of free comics from FCBD in this shipment. 
Not a single one, either free or not, were bagged or boarded.
This is the second time that's happened. I shot them off an email, but don't expect they'll send anything out until the next "scheduled" shipment.

New Frontier now has a message on the page with someone asking how it is only $13 and the book is also ranked #360 from about #25,000 earlier. I bet the jig is up soon.

Anyone ever wonder why we buy so many comics? I've got a stack of comics I haven't read, plus my set up unread trade collections will take me weeks to finish if that's all I did each night. It's almost to the point where I have so many to choose from that I can't decide what to read next...selection overload. I wonder if I'll ever read some of them. Yet here I am putting more trades and monthlies into my pull list.

I read IC#7 and 52#1 last night and.....m'eh. I guess after the long buildup, it would've been impossible to satisfy me completely. The storyline was just too huge.

DCBS got back to me and said they'll include all the bags/boards in the next shipment. A response in less than 24 hours, not many places that do that anymore.
It's a sad state that it's as little as getting a response that can be considered "good customer service" in the current internet age.
I sent a different company a RMA request email 2 weeks ago and never heard from them.

I'm pretty good with comics in that I'm usually done with them in about 3-4 days after getting them. DVDs are a different story though. I think it helps being in NYC and having all my time on the subways to read though.

Being a comic fan/collector for over 30 years I tend to forget alot when I read comics. So what I do is let a certain title build up at least 1-2 story arcs then I attack them in one or two sittings. I try to read all the X-men titles together, all the DC books together, all the Spiderman books together. I just can't read random issues every Wednesday, too much info to digest!
