Free Comic Book Day 202217534

COLLECTOR dielinfinite private msg quote post Address this user



Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow, 5/7/22. Is anyone going? Is anyone’s Local Comic Shop doing anything cool? Any free comics you want to snag?

Here is a list of the free comics

I’d like to snag a copy of Clementine, Red Sonja, BloodBourne, and the Overstreet guide but I’m also lazy to get up early on weekends and the participating shops are a bit of a ways away so gas prices are discouraging me a little

My LSC usually does something but it's suppose to rain tomorrow,so I'd don't know how that's gonna play out. Last year they had Trish Fostner and Brian Wickman, free pizza etc.My LSC is a ways away also, so I know how you feel. Looking forward to the Clementine, TMNT, Black Guard, Avatar the Last Airbender, Sonic the Hedgehog,Pokemon and gonna try that Blood Bourne.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user
Going to the Joe Kubert School / Dewey's Comics to get some sketches as I fo every year.

Will stop at a couple more stores on the way home.

I bought a lump of the Xmen / Avengers pre-sale with no stamps or stickers in case Blade's daughter becomes significant

Not too much from a consumer point of view.

I believe the Gold level books are provided by the event sponsors and stores have to order a certain number of them to participate but silver books can be ordered in whatever quantity

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
My LCS is back to doing a big shindig. The mall they're in is struggling so it's easy for them to take over lots of space https://levelupentertainment.com/fcbd . Cosplay contest, board game demos, vendors/artists, and sales to go with the free comics. I forget if they limit to 2 or 3 comics per customer but I'll probably get AXE and Spidey/Venom. If I can get a third or my daughter doesn't want to pick two then I'll look at Dark Crisis or Buffy, maybe.

Picked up these two weeks ago.

Been on a road trip and I have to say, American comic book stores in middle America have been found, wanting.

No wonder a lot of collectors do eBay considering what I've seen in comic book stores in the cities.

Thanks! Won't likely make it to a shop tomorrow so this was an easy way to get a couple of the fcbd books I wanted.

I picked up kaiju, red sonja, marvel voices, spiderman and venom, avengers/xmen, tmnt, and a few more. Biggest score though was the sales my LCS was having. All back issues were $1 each, and back issue bundles(4-6 books same series usually in a row numerically) were 4 for 5 so I picked up a bunch of those as well. Then to top it off a nice new fcbd shortbox(luckily I got there in time as they only had 5 available) and a mystery box...they have these fairly often and I've never bought one, 20 bucks for roughly 150 random books. Only looked at the very top of mine so far but already found the complete 2015 secret wars run including the #0 fcbd issue and the preview issue which from what I've seen is probably roughly 50 bucks value right there lol.

Wondering if the avengers/xmen one will end up being worth something with it being the first appearance of blades daughter and the new series coming out involving her.

i think so. large demand, debut of a new popular character. its not unheard of a fcbd comic being worth money

My LCS recently got out of new comics and I can't say that I blame them so they did not do anything for FCBD. I did look and there didn't appear to be anything of interest for me this year. Fortunately if there was, I have more than enough shops in the area.
