My LCS is pretty tiny and not nearly as well known as the big comic book stores in LA, so there were about 15 people total milling about. The only limit they had was one copy per title per person, so I picked up Buffy, Serenity, DC, and Avengers. They didn't have the Mouseguard book, sadly. Also purchased the deluxe edition of Black Orchid that I didn't even realize had come out.
Thanks! |

Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
Anyone know of any online retailers offering FCBD bundles this year? A quick check finds nothing.

Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
I'll be posting my books on eBay around 10 a.m. so please keep your eyes peeled! Hoping to make enough money to buy an iPad with my Walkind Dead freebie.

Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
Pfft. Kids should be use to that by now after visiting Toys R Us and avoiding frantic toy collectors.

Yeah, what FCBD really needs is speculators knocking aside kids to grab the comics. :lol:

First, I'm kidding... Second, the only kid I ever see at FCBD is my son who only goes because I drag his butt with me.
I do see kids at one of the two stores I hit, but it's a neighborhood place that's more accessible than a lot of LCS in my area. |
Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
Seems the kids I see at FCBD are ones that came because their parent brougth them. Kids just aren't into comics.

You can pick 1 for every $10 you spend. Kind of an expensive way of getting them all :/ but it works if you really want them all. |
Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
It's Mile High Comics. Of course it's going to be expensive.
|
Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
We're getting our delivery today, so I should be all set.

I actually see more young girls at shops on FCBD than young boys. Videogames seem to have permanently blunted boys' interest in comics on some level. If the industry wanted to get back in shape, get Congress to outlaw videogames before a certain age. |
Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
Gonna go to my first ever FCBD with the kids. They could care less but I really want them to read more. If comics can get them into reading more and less FB then I'm all for it.
I'm not into comics like I was in my youth but I try every year at SDCC to get them to read something that looks interesting but I think choices may be it. They are Girls after all. Getting a go at free comics is the perfect opportunity since if they dont like them, at least I didnt have to pay for them ... |
Re: Free Comic Book Day - May 4, 2013
Wow, so we didn't get as many "adult" age titles as I thought. Was only able to snag a few. I may go to one of our other sites where I know they got some. I'm also disappointed that Judge Dredd is not oversized like it has been the last two years. Oh well.

Sounds like that "Walking Dead" book is shaping up to be this season's hottest item.
What about the hardcovers? Isn't the Morgan story included in one of the hardcovers? Seems to be some wriggle room in that statement. |

There's an additional Morgan story in the first paperback Compendium for sure. I don't know if that made it into the hardcovers or other paperbacks.
The other stories are the Michonne story (from Playboy magazine, and reprinted in the Michonne special along with her first appearance), the Governor story (from a CBLDF Annual, reprinted in the Governor special along with his first appearance), and an all-new Tyreese story. I can maybe see where these stories wouldn't fit in with where the paperbacks and hardcovers are now since they're all flashbacks, and the Walking Dead collected issues are all past where those stories would be relevant. |
