there's only one comic shop in Reading, and they only open two days a week - I don't think they're doing it Frown

crap. forgot that was today.
in glasgow you seem to need to buy stuff, and you only get like a random issue or two, and not necesarily the stuff you would actually want.

so just cause there is a hellboy give away, doesn't mean your local will be giving it away. ho hum.

I got a Hellboy thingy. um, no clue whether it's worthwhile or not. I just recognised "Hellboy"

And I bought Serenity #2, but Buffy#14 isn't out yet. And Dev got a little Iron Man plasticky thingy.

I got Hellboy, Ignatz, and some sort of Sampler. I wish I had gotten Owly or Tiny Titans instead of the Sampler.

It's free comic book day, Furious. If the store's charging, don't bother going back as they don't understand the use of that adjective.

Our store limits customers to one per person for the day, but it's pretty much free-range afterwards.

You don't get it! It's a COMIC BOOK STORE.

Crap. T-ball game this morning totally threw me off my day and I completely forgot about it being Free Comic Book Day. I wonder if I should bother going tomorrow to see if they have anything left. Crap.

I can't list all the ones we got (they had more of a selection then my old comic book store used to.) We didn't get Hellboy, they didn't have it. But we did get Owly, and Amelia. We got the sampler, but I haven't looked at it yet.

The Boyâ„¢ bought Magic cards and I bought volume 5 of Fables. Our store was giving away 20% off coupons to use next week, too!

Same here, I can't enter a comic book store, I am an addict, and because money has been tight have ben off the wagon for about five years now, if I enter the establishment for even a free comic book, Masque would have to hit me with tranqs and have me drug out by clysdales, I really miss collecting Frown
