@bloodsnake007 @tridon Free Comic Book Day haul :)
I got an extra Avatar in case no one got one for you Franky. :thumbs:
Unfortunately they didnt have Dragon Ball. But the place was packed. And our local theater had this "spin-the-wheel" thingy and i won a movie coupon as well :D

Great haul, man! I'm sure Franky will kiss you with his taco-coated lips! :LOL:

I don't know if I'll be able to get out today, but there's definitely a great line-up this year. I want to grab Skottie Young's I Hate Image, along with a few others. I haven't read Captain Canuck in years, but I'm very interested in its FCBD issue since it's written by Jay Baruchel.

Oh damn. Did you wanted an Avatar as well? And you know what i saw? Your 'Invincible" comic book.At least I think it was called Invincible? The one that's getting a movie or a TV show from The Walking Dead creator?

It's all good, bud! No, I wasn't interested in the Avatar book -- comics based on movies rarely entertain me. And yeah, Invincible is "my" book. It's probably the best superhero comic I've ever read. If you ever want to read a read a great comic that perfectly tells a hero's story from beginning to end, that's the one to get. Pick up the first trade one day and give it shot! It's lightyears better than The Walking Dead. :thumbs:

Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) 2018 features an amazing selection of comic book titles for the industry's most anticipated annual event which happens Saturday, May 5th, 2018 at participating comic book shops worldwide.

Retailers on the Selection Committee chose fifty titles overall to be available on Free Comic Book Day: twelve Gold Sponsor comics and thirty-eight Silver Sponsor comics that give fans a great opportunity to discover new titles and genres. This year's announcement of Silver Sponsor comics includes such great titles as Adventure Time, Berlin, Infinity Watch/Spider-Man, Nintendo’s Arms, Star Wars Adventures, and more.

"It’s a great time to be a comics fan, and an even greater time to experience the medium of comic books for the first time during our 17th annual Free Comic Book Day," said Joe Field, originator of FCBD, and owner of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA. "The amazing line-up of titles, the great events staged by thousands of independent comic book retailers, and the enthusiasm of comic shop fans all over the world will make May 5, 2018 a great day to celebrate comic books!"

A complete listing of all fifty FCBD titles, including the twelve Gold Sponsor and thirty-eight Silver Sponsor comic books, can be found in the January issue of Diamond Comic Distributors' PREVIEWS catalog, on sale at comic book shops on December 27th, 2017.

Grabbed Panel Syndicate’s Barrier #1 as well Ryan Ottley’s first stint on The Amazing Spider-Man. PLUS I took my niece on her first trip to the comic store and she had so much fun! She wanted The Little Mermaid and DC Superhero Girls (and her uncle may’ve also bought her a Harley Quinn Dorbz figure). This was easily the best FCBD I’ve ever had. :)
