I'm not trying to make this into a major thread area. But I do want to try and keep better track of what is going on for Free Comic Book Day and there isn't no better way to do that than to go ahead and give it it's own area. Because far too often, the news that comes out about Free Comic Book day are in drips and drabs. And far too often, I end up knowing too little and having no plan on it. Sure, maybe a lot of it is junk and not worth the time and effort to go out and look for on that special day. But then again, I often wonder what are the gems of Free Comic Book days past? Surely as the years go by, this will become more and more of a nostalgic area of comics. And maybe some are in pursuit of the ultimate complete collection of every free comic book that ever came out on Free Comic Book day. Over time, I've become curious just how much there is. It seems like it would make a good checklist.....  Like I said, it's not something I'm trying to push like this needs to be the main part of my site. Quite the contrary. I just think its high time it finds a collected spot on my site. And when news comes out, if you've got it....please put it over here so it becomes more useful to everyone over time. Just in case, the thread area is a sub board of "Comic Companies" off the main page. No, Free Comic Book day is not a Comic Company. But I thought this area was a good fit because it generally covers every comic company. So, please when you have something, please bring it over here. Thanks to everyone in advance! ;D |

This Saturday is FCBD. I'm gonna try and get out to Zeno's and pick some books up for free and maybe a couple of others. This is the 1st year I really tried keeping track of it here on this site, so when news come out about next year's books, we'll try and put stuff up about it.

I'd have to say I had a very successful FCBD. Me and my wife got out and headed to Zeno's and got there about 11:15. Walked in and they had a table filled with stacks of FCBD comics. They said you could have one of each issue (not just one comic). They also had a few of their overstock comics up there like they had a pile of Grimm Fairy Tales, Merc and a few others. I didn't pick up all the comics, but in total, I got 18 free comics. Yes, I know they are worthless, but it felt good walking into a store, picking up a stack and not having to pay for it. My wife got a stack too, just a bit smaller than mine. She probably got about 12 books. So in all, we made one 10 minute stop and picked up about 30 comics for free and walked out. The we headed to the beach and spent the day there and now I am at home, crispy with a new stack of comics to look at. I'd call that a decent day!  |

Although I did a bad job of keeping up with it this year, FCBD is tomorrow and Joey opens his new Comic Kings store tomorrow as well. I might try and combine the two and get to both as in one event. However, I expect Joey's store to be completely packed and it might be hell getting into and out of it, but so I don't know. I'll give it a shot.
Ive already got some FCBD comics coming for free from DCBS, so it's not like I need to go pick any of them up, but I don't think I've been into a comic store this year and it's high time I got my comic collecting in gear a bit for 2011. So, this might just get me going.
Anybody else planning on doing anything for FCBD???
