Free Comic Book Day

[JonesyAZ]

How did everyone's FCBD go? Nice weather made it a fine day to get some comics. At first glance my favorite pick is Bob's Burgers. Got some of the usuals, superhero stuff, the Bongo misc stuff and got a TMNT because it reminded me of the carton from my childhood.

I hope I can get the 25th Ann. FCBD issue - I usually miss out on getting to a shop during that day most of the time. My LCS may or may not be willing to hold one back for me, they're pretty strict about doing that... As in, they don't like to do that.

Did you ever get one?

My FCBD was spent celebrating the life of my late grandmother Jones. She was my last living grandparent so this week's been a bit tough on me. I wasn't able to make it to a shop but I did manage to reread the entire "Multiversity" series last night (much better the second time out)

In regards to FCBD, besides the Valiant book, I was eagerly looking forward to the Savage Dragon Legacy book; bummed to learn my LCS no longer had any when I called last night With the exception of a five year break, I have religiously read that book every month since 1992:)

I managed to get one easily. My store had a get two free but you have to pay a dollar for more (the dollar goes to a local charity) so I`m curious as to how many picked up Valiants book as opposed to DC or Marvels. Also hope some of you grabed Captain Canuck.

Are there different comics depending on the store? I didn't see a Captain Canuck.

Don't know, I was under the impression it would be available at all stores, never crossed my mind that it could of been country specific.

Went to a local fair today and found my LCS had a table set up. I managed to get the Valian 25th Annversary Special & Street Fighter.

The LCS decides what books they want to order for FCD

FCBD at Comic Bug in Culver City. Actually, they held it at the Teen Center next door. They had a lot going on there. But I only managed to get one pick of me and Dysart.



James Asmus and Andrew Robinson were also there. I got all three to sign my hardcovers:

Nice work with getting signed stuff.

I did!

They told me "You're the only person we've ever made an exception to our 'No Exception' rule about holding FCBD comics for customers"...


I guess they like me there! It's even the first time they've held a book for me & I've been going there for several years...

Now there's a reason I regret not getting into the shop on FCBD - one of the co-owners of my LCS also co-owns the rights to Captain Canuck along with Richard Comely. I woulda snagged that book for sure.
