Somehow this year’s FCBD almost slipped by me- there seems to be a palpable lack of buzz around it this year, and I’ve barely seen it mentioned in any of the comic blogs. Has the event become tired and worn? Has the emphasis shifted from corporate level advertising to stores doing their own things to promote it? Who knows!
Anyway, the list of comics is at the official site, as always. Usually I try to pick up some more obscure titles to get into new stuff, and generally fail (either because the store is being stupid or the store is picked clean before I can rouse myself from bed.) Maybe I’ll make it a FCBD tradition to try a new comic store every year.
My comic book acknowledged the existence of free comic book day, but said it “brought the wrong kind of people.”
LOL
Nice, way to live up to stereotypes, Comic Book Guy!
I tried a new store, and arrived around 3… though they had everything in stock, they had a “Limit 2” policy. Which meant, since they closed at 6, they were guaranteed to have a pile of comics left over, which I’m sure they’ll put price tags on tomorrow. Grr.
