we are having a birthday party that afternoon as well. It will be an exhausting day. Fun tho. Last year we dressed up as Bats and WW and had some fun photo ops. Not sure what the costume will be this go around. I would wager black alien spider man and supergirl with an assortment of dragon and pirate parts thrown in for good measure. -
Free Comic Book Day is great. Always a wide array of books to pick up.

If anyone could pick up a copy of 'The Mis-Adventures Of Adam West' for me I'd be grateful

Lots of cool stuff this year.

The Elric book looks interesting, too.
And a free Green Lantern HeroClix.

It was crazy as usual...plus the owner was there (she NEVER is there on the weekend) and was being a stickler for only 3 FREE comics per customer...I only got the Young Justice and Pep Comics I was so disgusted. Instead of fighting all of the people at the counter I just figured I'll go back next week...They always have tons left over....Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

I hit three local shops today. Picked up pretty much one of everything that was free. What I don't keep I'll give to my brother. I also bought a bunch of old 1970s magazines for 25¢ each. Dynamite, Bananas, Cracked, Crazy, Electric Company and a KISS magazine.

Ok, just got home...I got 6 freebies, (the limit was 5, but they let me have extra b/c they know I'm a teacher). They didn't have Adam West!
(If anyone sees this before they go out, could ya pick one up for me?) Anyway, here are the freebies I got:
Archies
Inspector Gadget
A flip-a-doo Darkwing Duck/Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers
Richie Rich
Captain America/Thor
Young Justice/Batman sampler
I also got (paid for):
Scooby Doo, Where are you?
Superman/Batman Greatest Stories Ever Told
A Marvel Heroes Movie Theatre/Storybook set
There were a few kids there, little ones, and a couple of older ones, like 10 yr. olds. They got their freebies, talked about trading, and waited outside for dad, who was thumbing through the boxes in back. The little ones were more interested in toys. Thes rest were young guys, like in their 20s, and maybe 2 older guys. I also saw a bunch of Star Trek EMCE figures, and an Enterprise Playset, and some RAHs: Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Sinestro, Lex Luthor. No one but me looked at those.
I didn't see anyone my age showing their kids the classic figures. I kept waiting for: "Hey, I had guys like these when I was a kid." Oh well. I won't stop hoping.

i saw this behavior at comic town in columbus a few years ago. and nothin else. not really good for the purpose of getting new people excited about comics
laughing ogre in columbus does it right - 2 comics from the newest promo section and GOBS of stuff from previous promos + etc. they also do high end face painting for kids, run deep discounts on other items in the store, welcome you in from outside, & have someone in costume. nice event.Comment

Picked up a Green Lantern, Adam West, & a Pep...Cap/Thor, Darkwing Duck, & Super-Dinosaur...B&B, Richie Rich, & The Civil War (the historical one, not the Marvel version).
Yes, it was three to a customer only, but I hit three different shops! Bought a bunch of special priced bargains in each shop as well!Comment
