How cool is the Mouse Guard hardcover, though? Archaia went all out on that one.
I'm only sad that my shop didn't get the Atomic Robo one, but that's a small shop in a small town for you.

I actually would have liked to visit the stores I never go to, even the one way on the other side of town, to see how each one was celebrating. I just didn't have time so I only hit up mine and the nearest one to it.
But yeah, I made the tour of all the local shops, including one I hadn't been to before (helluva a job they did hiding the place). They all seemed to have nice traffic (lucked out having FCBD Avengers premiere weekend), and it was fun seeing the parents and kids. The smaller shops outshone the big ones here by having other promotions/sales as part of the celebration, like 50% off TPBs and Marvel Masterworks, and having raffles/giveaways, etc. - bigger shops had their tables of freebies but otherwise didn't seem to be doing jack shit. It's a good thing I didn't get paid today like I was supposed to or I might have spent a dangerous amount of money on the 50% off trades in the hole-in-the-wall places. As it was I restricted myself to a couple of Red Hulk trades and the third volume of Queen & Country.
Especially after gunning down Hybrid and Scream in cold blood. He's nothing but a psychopath now.

Isn't that intentional? I mean they almost always have a comic movie premiere during FCBD week.
On a related note, didnt get any FCBD stuff. they were COMPLETELY out by the time i got there. We have 2 good size comic shops in town. 1 in the same shopping center as the main theater (which was sold out of EVERY showing of Avengers today. I had to go to a late night show at another theater in the suburbs to even get a seat (and even they had sold out every prior showing all day).) and the other is right across the street. They got swamped all day.
oh, and since I didnt see anyone else mention it. I picked up the first issue of XO Manowar this week. Really liked it. Definitely cant wait to see what they do for the rest of the revived Valiant line.
Its kind of a slow start, but nice setup stuff for the series.
oh, and it uses a great opener to get you up to speed on the relevant history stuff.
and a couple other interesting bits.
*he saw
Honestly never read the original series (Timewalker was about the only Valiant stuff I read), so Im not sure how it compares with the original story, but its good so far.

*just checked a review of it.
The FCBD issue has previews for XO and Harbinger, along with teaser stuff for Bloodshot/Archer and Armstrong, some interviews, and it reveals what the 5th and 6th titles will be (Eternal Warrior in Winter 2012, Rai in Spring 2013).

Got some pictures there. Including that there may be a link to Eternal Warrior in XO #1.
There was also a big spread image with those two teased... but I cant find a link to it.

Some very serendipitous timing.

I never got to see the hardcover, but several smaller portions of the book have been offered
The mouse guard section was printed with the dark crystal story
As far as I can tell, the mouse guard story is entirely reused art with new text
Sorry for the crappy photo, but I just wanted to give you a quick idea.
That is not what I got
Is the one you got softcover and wider than most comics? It sounds like you're describing last year's Mouse Guard FCBD book.

It was a small hard cover book it looked very out of place when compared to the rest
Yuuuuuup
Eh. Yeah, but FCBD 2011 was two days before Thor came out. And Avengers is by all appearances on a whole different level in terms of popularity. They are saying it could set the new record for opening weekend box office gross, aren't they?
And I don't recall a movie aligning with FCBD in 2010 (which was in June rather than May). I could be wrong, though.
Well, it was a around the same time as Marmaduke - I'm sure there have been some Marmaduke books and just strips at some point
Ah yes.
HOW COULD I FORGET JONAH HEX.
Don't worry, I'll make sure that you no one can ever forget Jonah Hex.
Also I got The Hypernaturals FCBD issue, so glad to see DnA get a chance to do cosmic supers again, and with their own characters and ideas no less! Definitely going to be picking that up regularly.
