FCBD: Free Comic Books Day 2009

You already know what FCBD is right? No? Well, Free Comic Book Day is pretty much what it sounds like: a dream come true. You head out to a comic book store, and if they're participating then they'll have some free (yes! totally free) comics that have the FCBD logo on them. If you want the full details, click here for the FAQ.

There's no catch, except it's a gimmick staged by comic book publishers and distributors to get people hooked on reading comics. So, if you're already hooked on comics you're in!

I can't decide whether to go to Excalibur Comics, or Cosmic Monkey Comics. I'm sure Things From Another World (TFAW), Dark Horse's flagship store will also have FCBD as well, but I prefer the others. I'll definitely check out the Archie and the Bongo Comics offerings.
