RE: It's almost here...

ZombiesAteMyBrain — Tue, 13 May 2008 09:47:04 GMT

Wow,Wolfen. that sketch is so basic, yet there is a certain mesmerizing beauty to it as well. Very interesting and cool piece.

RE: It's almost here...

WOLFEN — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:31:37 GMT

OH, and here's that sketch that Steve Rude did for me...San's Sig...the big dummy...if I had asked for NEXUS he probably woulda framed the mofo...:pinch:

I went to a store I had never noticed before, on my way to another store on the same street and was able to pick up:

Jughead
Bongo
Hellboy
All Star Superman
Tiny Titans
Gegika
Ignatz
Gyro Gearloose
EC Sampler
Amelia Rules
The Moth
Comic Book Diner
Gumby
How To Draw

This place also had about ten long boxes of recent comics for 10 cents each and all other back issues were 50% off, so for around 10 bucks I walked out with approximately 50 comics I would never have checked out and am enjoying most of them. Nothing valuable or classic, but certainly worth the price for the entertainment value I'm getting. Already looking forward to FCBD 2009!

My LCS handed out bags with most of the books in them, so I didn't notice til I got home that I did not get the Aspens book but I did get what looks to be a replacement for NFL Superpro. Anyone bring home Nascar Heroes?:blink:

Before I bug 'em too soon, is the EC Sampler in the database for Gemstone?

RE: It's almost here...

ZombiesAteMyBrain — Sun, 04 May 2008 14:06:48 GMT

Thanks for the offer, very nice of you. I already did find one on Ebay though, with a BIN of $1, so I'm good.:)

Everything was pretty much gone by the time that I had got there at 5.:angry:

They had saved me an X-Men, and I got an Iron Man heroclix, but I was really wanting an Atomic Robo.Guess I'll have to try to find one on EBay.

[quote][b]Speedy-D (5/3/2008)[/b][hr]This is my first time experiencing the wonder of FCBD. I went to a store in Manhattan, Forbidden Planet, only to be told that the Free Comics were only for children. So scratch that place. I wandered up to 23rd street, to Cosmic Comics, and they were much more accommodating. So I wound up getting:

All-Star Superman #1
Dan Dare
GEKIGA!
Ignatz
Jungle Girl (believe it or not, she's cute!)
Justice Society Of America #2
Love & Capes #7
Wonder Woman #12
Wonder Woman #222
Uncanny X-Men
X-Men

I'm not sure what's up with there being a Wonder Woman #12 and a Wonder Woman #222. The 222 is from '05 and the 12 is from '07, so I guess they restarted the numbering some time in '06?[/quote]

Yep, #226, if memory serves, was the last issue of Vol. 2. Vol. 3 started after Infinite Crisis.

RE: It's almost here...

As a pretty regular reader they don't have to convince me; I already buy them. Plus, with few exceptions they never really offer anything I'm interested in.

I'm sure it's fun for kids or new readers, though. However, I've never read anything that says that the FCBDs have lead to a growth in new readership.[/quote]

The problem is that FCBD occurs only at comic retailers... They need to expand the service to Wal-marts, Barnes & Nobles, Targets, etc. Get the books into places that non readers and parents actualy go to already. Doing this would actually expose the books to a wider audience outside of traditional comic book stores. [/quote]

It's not going to happen,unfortunately.The comic retailers actually have to pay for those comics. Marvel/DC, etc., don't provide them for free.I can't really see Barnes & Noble or wal-Mart paying to give away something that they don't sell in the first place.[/quote]

Yeah after Walmart "helped" decay the collector's market further durring the 90s.....they got out of the racket pretty quick....granted it did get people to buy books since they were right there in the public view......but just like Wizard they tried to make it seem that the books durring that time period were gold printed on paper.....which wasnt the case by any means......

So i dont see that happening either...
