Free Comic Book Day coming Saturday

[zdashamber]

Brief little informative note:

Saturday, the 7th, is Free Comic Book Day. You go to a comic book store (or maybe it's only some of them; you'll want to check the website), they'll have comic books designed by their respective companies to be given away on Free Comic Book Day. Based on past experience, 90% of these are crap. But they're generally shiny and colorful, good for collages and confetti, and it's a good excuse to venture into your local comic book store. And, you know, free.

IIRC, the comics are only free for the customers, not for the stores distributing them.

Hm. Well, maybe I'll give it a miss, then. I mean, I might buy other comics if I'm in there, or t-shirts, and I do need to fill out my collection of Sandman graphic novels... And I did find one sorta interesting comic last year. But I don't know if I really want to get into buying comic books again, and graphic novels are cheaper online.

Ah, a death knell for the comic industry. ;)

I could be wrong about the comics. It's been a while since I asked. =)
