I added ALL the free comics to my cart because I'm a cheapass.
Rat Queens seems really interesting.

If I could have voted for one third of a comic it would be for the Superman story in Secret Origins. I really liked it.
My three were Batman Eternal #1, Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual #2 and Batgirl Annual #2.
I really dig a good annual.

My roommate heard me mention I was thinking of dropping Deadly Class and so he didn't pick up issue #4 for me. I think I am OK with it. I just don't like Marcus at all.

Blacksad 5 acquired. 
Stoked to read it during work today. And I bought a bunch of other stuff as well. (Some classic sci-fi comics)

In a couple months Deadly Class won't be coming out, and then something else can be in the top 3
One would hope

Just finished Southern Bastards #1. Hell of a first issue for a hell of a book. I knew the story would be fucking great, but this is my first exposure to Latour, and man, dude's art is fucking ruthless.

I didn't vote this time but if I did, Elektra would have been # 2 or 3. Absolutely stunning issue there and suddenly I care about Elektra.
I've read all 11 issues or so that are on Mahvel Unlimited and all i can say is it's pretty mediocre. Kinda sad that this is where we are post Rich but Loeb gonna Loeb. I wouldn't recommend it, just keep your money for more Nocenti goodness.
Wtf all i got from my nearest FCBD was a Black Lantern ring and some Magic cards...

Just as good if not better!!!!!
Have any of you guys read the book Eisner/Miller? I just got it and started reading it and it's a fantastic read so far.
The book is just one long conversation between Will Eisner and Frank Miller about the medium of comics. It's entertaining and highly informative. Even if you're somehow not a fan of either Eisner or Miller, I'd highly recommend picking it up (especially since it can be had for so cheap).

Rat Queens is awesome.
I heard it was pretty mediocre while Loeb was writing but I heard it improved when the creative team changed. I only read the first issue and I didn't really care for it.

I'm kind of into Futures End since it switched the Age of Ultron ratio and the like 6 issues of dystopia got done in like seven pages.

I was wondering if anyone else picked up Dream Police That ending ..
Is the main character just dreaming or something the whole time? The other guy (his partner) that was with him throughout the whole issue changed to a woman at the end, and they had that same conversation that the two guys from earlier in the issue had, " how long have we been partners?, seems like forever" (something like that).. idk

Went down to the comic book store for free comic book day to pick up my free comic books!
.... And well since I was there I picked up the first volume of Saga and the first volume of Scott Pilgrim because you know, you may as well.
Free comic book day indeed.

You did good work.
Well, that's the point of FCBD.
To entice you to buy other things while you're there.
I'm going to head out in a bit to my local comic store. They prioritize giving children as much free books as they can, so I'm just hoping I can nab the three or four that I want.

Yep. It's available in select markets. It's evolving the way we think about comics. It had more characterization than the entire fourteen issues of Saga. It will overthrow Remender this month.

One of the nicest guys ever. Talked to me about stuff I didn't even ask about. I was kinda nervous for some reason so I didn't really talk much. Told him how much I liked his books and asked for a picture. I was also the first one to see him so I felt the pressure of the enormous line behind me. Mark Waid was super cool. Turns out it is his comic shop. He lives around here which is a small town east of Indianapolis. It was worth the 2/12 hour trip.
Also, had 14 books signed.

Just a few questions with no spoilers please, but:
Hawkguy - I understand it's now focusing on Kate and is experiencing a ton of delays. I'm going to get the third trade when it comes out and I'm wondering if this is going to continue to be an ongoing series or if they are planning on finishing it with the third trade or whatever.
Also, same series, yes or no only, does the third trade get into him tracking down the killer of Grills? I was caught off guard that they kill him off in the second trade, then the dog tracks him down, but then there's nothing after that.
Pretty much same question with God of Thunder. Is that an ongoing or is it a miniseries against the singular villain?
Thanks for the help.

Hawkeye goes back and forth every second issue is a Kate issue. The trade is putting together all the Kate issues, next will be all Clint. Grills is a Clint problem, Kates issues are a ton of fun. The series is ongoing but I think I heard recently Matt Fraction is leaving, so the series might be ending. But there will be a 4th trade with Clint issues.
Thor is ongoing and still amazing.

Why didn't you give him my username!?!?!?!?!?!?Omg!
Miller is untouchable for me, but my interest in Eisner is almost entirely in his art. This is a pretty interesting book and it's also kinda weird. Eisner seems out of it sometimes, and he doesn't seem familiar with Miller's comic work at all outside of Sin City iirc. Also probably needed some tighter editing.
wowwwwww FCBD line wrapped around the entire plaza in Tustin CA O_O
I went to buy two things, but one of them they didnt even have (Rai #1 special version)
didnt bother buying my other comic, didnt wanna wait in a long line,
left empty handed.
o well, I hope comixology has a free Archie digest for me

Eisner was 85 when they had that talk, and would have been over 60 before Frank Miller even started his career. Not that surprising.

I still gotta run down and grab my stuff later. My shop didn't get any of the free stuff except what regular customers special-ordered in advance. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward more to the FCBD Uber book than anything else?
