Free Comic Book Day 5/3/08

Media Outlet Comic Book Forum

This will be the place to talk about Free Comic Book Day AKA FCBD.

It will take place next Saturday, May 3rd to coincide with the Iron Movie. :smile:

If you don’t know what Free Comic Book Day is, here’s how it works. Walk into a comic book shop that day and you will get a FREE comic book! Different stores do different things. Some stores will give you more than one free comic, others will give you comics that are not on the FCBD list but all of them have to give you a free comic that day. So visit as many shops as you can to get a whole lot of free stuff on May 3rd! :woot:

So next Saturday go see Iron Man and get your free comics, make it a great day! :wgrin:

Official thread. Here you can see the FCBD funny books that will be available, FOR FREE! :lovin:

Yeah that’s a great way to get people to check out All Star Superman, IMHO the best comic on the racks right now! :woot:

Looking forward to the Tiny Titans book too since I haven’t picked that up yet. Overall a pretty good selection this year. :smile:

Oh man. Three stores in my vicinity are participating.

Three copies of ASS #1? I think so. Yes, yes, SRK… yes, yes.

Yes.

EDIT:

One of them still has the limited edition ASS #1 with the Neal Adams cover. If I’m feeling really saucy, maybe I’ll pick that up as well.

Yes, yes.

First time I’ll be participating in one of these events. I take it I should come early if I want me some free comics. Lots to choose from and I want as many as I can get.
