Holy crap, thanks for the reminder!

I'll take anything I can get, but Baltimore is what I'm crossing my fingers for, looks really cool. I'm not sure what my local stores ordered, so yeah, anything.

Mostly excited for the sale stuff. I can't resist a quarter box.

I want the Heroclix figure and the Avatar book. That is all. Maybe see what sales they've got, see if the one shop will discount the Nextwave trade they've got.

>>25575539
The shop I go to in Lansing always has back issues at $1. They usually lower it to 50c on FCBD.

I'll grab one of everything, but I definitely need to try for Atomic Robo and The Tick, and not just because Clevinger and Cereno are my friends, but because they'll be the two best books available. And I'm not just saying this to drum up interest in my buddies' comics; not at all in any way, nope nosireebob.

Actually Darkwing Duck and the Cap/Thor by Landridge and Smanee should be awesome, too.

Also that Heroclix piece.

You know: comic book shops have to pay for the comic books that they are expected to give out for free. Therefore, the best thing you can do to support your comic book shop is to NOT go to free comic book day.

No, the best thing you can do is go an then buy a TON of other stuff they have. Ideally full price crap.

FCBD is to get people in the door.

The only FCBD book I was gonna go for was the reprint of Green Lantern: Secret Origin #2(including the first few pages of Flashpoint #1).

Then, last week, my LCS owner got it early and decided to give me a copy of it along with my weekly pulls. So, now I have nothing to look forward to on FBCD. Maybe I'll get that Dark Crystal comic or something.

It is now that I realize it's been a damn full year since I've been to Midtown Comics (Grand Central) and like 3 years since I worked there. Kinda scared to show up actually.

Atomic Robo is the only book I really care about. I'll pick up other books, but if I ONLY get this book its a successful day, if I don't get it, it's a failure of a day.

Anyone else getting hired to just show up to your FLCS? I'm not getting paid, but I at least imagine that I'll get some free swag for being a ghostbuster.

Well, that's at least true for superhero comics, which is what most people think of when they think of comics, so they're not COMPLETELY wrong.

But nowadays, yeah, I see comics as an international thing.
