National Free Comic Book Day!

Being a huge fan of all things gaming, it's kind of a pain when you take a step back and realize that this art is more than likely the most corporate of all artforms. If we DO get a freebie, (especially for a console), it's more than likely rubbish unfortunately. Wouldn't it be nice to get a piece of entertainment and art for... FREE?
(Hope I can get a copy of this one, this'll probably be the most popular thing at the give-aways!)


I've gotten into comics in the past few years, and I'm finally going to be able to take advantage of National Free Comic Book Day! It's always the first Saturday of May, and I've had to work through the past several of those. Unfortunately for me, that usually means all the "good" stuff's been snagged ahead of time. Bummer. In addition to the newest issues of Thunderbolts & Dark Avengers, I'll probably walk out of the local dusty-arse comic shop with a bag full of goodies.




(Best Spiderman series, EVER.)



One of the cooler things I got last year was a copy of Atomic Robo, it's a cool and funny story involving a super-hero robot from some obscure publisher. Looks like I'll have a chance to get another free one this year too! I'm going to try to nab the free Avengers, Star Wars Clone Wars, and hopefully find something new I might wanna keep reading. That's the fun with Free Comic Book Day, you might find something you never knew existed and really enjoy it!




(Gonna snag this one tomorrow. Dinosaurs & Robots go together like jellybeans and soda. I can't be the only sugar-addict here, eh?)


I'm a regular at my local shop, so they're probably going to toss something cool at me this year as they have before. ;) Wish me luck, and you should really look into your local comic shop to see if FCBD is being properly celebrated there. I never thought that Dark Avengers would be SO GOOOOOOD....





(Love my Thunderbolts, HATE Moon Knight. If Venom & Krew wanna kill off MK, I'm cool with that. :D )

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
