and what the fuck, DC
nobody wants that Legion comic
give a real comic
Really I only want Astounding Wolf-Man and Spider-Man though. I was really hoping DC and ONI would have fresh offerings this year too. The Scott Pilgrim/Fearless Griggs from ONI last year was fantastic.

Anyone looking forward to something besides Wolf-Man and Spider-Man, which seem moderately interesting?
Also, reprints and teasers on FCBD are some bullshit. I know the books are free, but it still rubs me the wrong way.
Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.
Bongo's free for all sounds good, but I like Simpsons and Futurama comics. Either last year or the year before had hilarious story staring the comic book guy.
I also like hanging out with the Riverdale gang, so there's that....
Yeah, this year isn't doesn't have a big bunch of free great sounding comics, but there might be some surprises.
I'm sorry, I know it's not my business, but are you saying that you are going to try and get out of work (as in paying job I assume) so you can get to your shop for free comic day?
Or are you saying that you're going to try and skip work (as in paying job, again an assumption) so you can get to your shop for free comic day then go see Spider-Man 3, a movie you would otherwise have to wait another day and see because of said job?
I wait patiently for your answer.

So that's something.
Works sucks, Bad Karma. But you wouldn't know that, with your gold necklace, trust fund, and cognac.
did Munch kill your parents, Karma?
Dude-- comics.
If you want a detailed explanation however, I'm going to attempt to switch my Saturday shift (as I typically work every Friday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday, leaving me with little to no weekend) to the Friday that I suddenly have off, having had that day switched to a Thursday, when I'm typically off. If you're kind of not-so-subtly implying that my comic lust is so great that it's impairing my ability to function like a responsible adult, not so. At my current job, in the years I've worked there, I've taken zero sick days and one week of unpaid vacation time, and I actually work every Wednesday as is, so it's not like I'm a shiftless layabout or that being without my funnybooks is debilitating to me; I just enjoy my hobbies and think it'd be swell if I could somehow swing this to have a fun weekend.
Alternatively, pretend I'm going to be at home jerking off to a picture of Blue Beetle and snorting blow while slathered in chocolate sauce and shame. Whichever you prefer.

Indeed. Seems I'll be walking away with quite the baggie because of all the 1st week releases.
I'll probably run this idea by the owner of the shop I go to. Hell, his shop is right across the road from the mall where our biggest movie theater is and he's on one of the main streets in town. That should count for something.
Well, not to be a dick, but this kind of thing isn't intended for people who are already reading comic books. This whole thing is about getting new people into comic book shops with the promise of free things.
Hey now. I'm pretty sure it's also meant as a reward to loyal readers. A show of appreciation for our business.
If you start hitchhiking now, you can totally make it to the nearest one by Saturday.
Dick.

Sometimes there'll be an extra thing at the store's discretion, like discounts or a signing, but it's not guaranteed.
Some guy was signing at my store, but I didn't know who he was so I was too embarrassed to approach. I believe it was local talent.
Wolf-Man was a let down, but Spider-Man was grand. I honestly hope that villain returns.
That's what I assumed, but the way people were talking here made me think some of their shops were doing something different.
