The event is close for us eastern europeans. Namely in 4 hours.


So watcha gonna get from fcbd today, /co/?

I was thinking of getting that Legend of Korra booklet, just to see what other new plots the Avatar universe contains.

Whatever they have available that looks interesting, I never really pay much attention to the release list or anything. Usually more interested in the sales

The worst you get out of it is a fucking free comic so it's probably as good as any.

Record Store Day is a similar kind of event, I'm not the most social guy but I always end up striking conversations with people in line or in the stores.

>>82541180
If you're so socially fucked you need 4chans advice to leave your house it's already to late, might as well kill yourself

>I always end up striking conversations with people in line

That's beyond my abilities, but sometimes I feel the need to be in crowds and maybe this is a good chance. I just feel afraid there are too many kids and grills.

SEA anon here, already went to mine. Rate my haul /co/. I was late so there were no more Captain Americas. I bought the Adventures of Superman book purely out of my love for Doc Shaner's art.

>>82545772
Not sure is there FCBD in my country, desu.
>>
>>82540782
My closest LCS usually limits people to five books. I was thinking the 2000 AD compilation (due to the sheer size of what they're offering), Street Fighter V (fucking Udon), possibly Sonic (if the book is actually good), and then two free choices. Which won't matter much, since they'll be story times here anyway, but still.

I'd go for sales too, but I'll only be there for a short time. Plus, the Win-O-Thread has spoiled me.
>>
>>82545829
look at the events on Facebook and search for Free Comic Book Day.
>>
>>82545867
Sadly nothing. My dream of owning comicbook store in middle of Europe's backwater is plummeting rapidly.
>>
Is it only where I live or does DC just do poorly in FCBD? Like last year there were still freebies from Batman Day, and now this year I swear I saw a few Divergence hold outs. Plus, Captain America and Civil War 2 were flying off the tables while DC's offerings of ugh Super Hero Girls and Suicide Squad (Didn't even use best version) were just there.
>>
So today all the comic book news sites will finally be allowed to talk about the Civil War II FCBD issue even though it's been leaked for weeks, and Marvel writers/editors will actually be able to talk about it interviews.
>>
>>82546218
DC drops the ball frequently for this. You'd expect them to at least put out something Rebirth-related.

>>82546244
You think people will praise Bendis for it? Or rightfully trash it?

>>82545739

My man at the lcs already slipped me the FCBD Archie.

The only things I really really want are 2000 AD and the Love and Rockets sampler. After that I'm just going to hoard as much as possible.
>>
>>82545739
no 2000AD/10
>>
>>82546725
LCS didn't stock em, I asked.
>>
>>82546685
Rebirth wasn't planned far too long again. They wouldn't have had enough time to prepare something concrete for FCBD. This issues have to be prepared well in advance which is why Civil War II was able to be leaked so early
>>
When do FCBD books usually go up on Comixology?
>>
>>82547799
like 2-3 weeks after

Rate my haul.

Before you ask, I only picked up the Titan anthology because I panicked.
>>
>>82547822
Quick update:
Bob's Burgers and SFV were good. Sonic was okay, since it just had some story excerpts. Attack on Titan ranged from mediocre (Batgirl staff) to perfect (the Eltingville Comics guy). Haven't read 2000AD yet.
>>
>>82541180
It's a good first step.

Don't forget proper hygiene, and personal care. That isn't an insult, but a psa for most shut ins

Got close to the end of the line and couldn't decide a final comic. It was either this or Love and Rockets, and the latter will probably be story timed anyway. I already saw the titles Viz showcased.

Wasn't that bad, all things considered. Just a few comic previews. The comic from the Batgirl staff was subpar, but aside from that it was good.

So what is Avatarex? I'm seeing news stories that it was a digital series that started like a year ago, but I can't find it for sale anywhere online. Is the fcbd issue the start of it being put into print, or is this a one time thing?
>>
>>82549969
Avatarex is Grant Morrison's latest title from Graphic India. The proper first issue will be out this July.
>>
>>82549666
Some version of him, anyway, Satan. He could be some otherSpidey villain masquerading, since we've only seen him with a mask, and he hasn't been named. He's just strongly associate with a jackal motif.
>>82549690
Steve declared war on Hydra, which Red Skull is leading again.
>>
>>82550009
So aside from the humble bundle exclusive first issue, it wasn't available digitally before? I'm looking at news stories at the time of the humble bundle that say he was planning to do a 6 page chapter every two weeks, but I guess that didn't happen?
>>
>>82550087

Yes. He instead makes it as a monthly ongoing.

Carol Danvers got the new look in 2012. She dated War Machine briefly in 2014 I believe, but they haven't really done much together.

>>82550074
>which Red Skull is leading again.
Actually, this is the first time the Red Skull has lead Hydra in comics continuity. He's been so associated with Hydra in movies, cartoons and videogames that most people forgot that in the comics he's more associated with AIM or has his own organization.
>>
>>82550074
>He's just strongly associate with a jackal motif.
In what way? Does his mask look like a jackal? Anubis motifs?

I FUCKING CLEANED HOUSE MAN!!

I had made a plan to head north of where I lived and hit up 3 comic stores as I head back South to my home.
First place I go to, they had NO LIMIT (past one of each comic per person). All they asked was that for every 3 comics I get, I donate 1 can of food or $1 to them for some local food drive charity. So I get ONE OF EVERYTHING and give them $25 for the food drive.
And then I hit up the 2nd place, which was doing the usual 5 per person and it is also have a sale on some back issues for 3 for $1.
And 3rd place had 5 per person PLUS some comic creators were there selling autographed copies of their stuff. So I bought one.

END RESULT
50 different free comics.
7 duplicates of some of the free comics.
About 10 or so back issues.
And 1 signed comic from the creator.

Fucking best FCBD score I've ever had.

Picked up Ms. Marvel #1 because A.) I've heard a lot of buzz about it and B.) Gwenpool's in it I think.

What's the general consensus on it?
Is it OK or did I just pick up some Unreadable Skwerl Gurl tier dog shit?

If the latter, fuck it, it was a dollar, no big loss.

At one of my town stores i got this. A guy had made a concept album and then had artists draw each track as an issue. So eachbissue has a different artist but he did what he said as most of the script, giving artists a little creativity since it is supposed to relate to the music.

Really looking forward to reading/listrning to this.

So i ended up with a full trade and cd with my regular 8 titles of which I'm mostly happy i got Lady Machina and avatarex

Just got back from my LCS. They do 50% off back-issues on FCBD, so I used it as an oppurtunity to load up on some comics I had been eyeing.

Specifically, Eternals #1 and Devil Dinosaur #1, along with a few other issues of Eternals. Now I only need 5 more issues and the annual and I'll have the whole collection of Kirby's Eternals. So fucking hype. Unfortunately the Devil Dinosaur #1 wasn't in the best condition but it's still good.

Also got a few issues of old amalgam comics and Youngblood.

Was hoping to find some issues of the 80s Marvel-published Heathcliff comic and New Universe Starbrand, but they didn't have any of either. Still, really happy with the haul of Eternals comics I got. Been on a big Jack Kirby kick lately.

Had to go to the mall today, totally forgot there was a comic store nearby. Pretty small place, just enough room for the two walls and a stretch in the center, but the guys in there are cool/friendly.

Went in, was given a bag right away, no limit on what to take, everything was set up nicely on a table by the new week rack. Didn't look like they still had everything, no Tick for example, but I got what I wanted. This was at 4pm, so can't complain. Nice amount of people in there, they were makin' a little money, so cool scene. Got an X-Files comic for my sister.

My LCS does 25% off everything, so I picked up volumes 2 and 3 of Lord Baltimore, volume 1 of Hellboy and Abe Sapien, Junji Ito's Cat Diary, Ghost in the Shell 1.5 and 2, and cleared out my box (only had Wolf and Nova in there today).

They let you get 3 of the free ones too, I picked up the Firefly one, Young Terrorists, and Love and Rockets. Now that I look back I made the decision on those too quickly, there were some other good ones I'd have preferred to get but h well.

hit up three comic book stores the first was in a mall and was crowded with mall rats who had just seen civil war. got in got my shit and got out, that place was packed. Had buy two get one free but they had moved a lot of the back issue boxes out to make room for a magic tournament so i didn't get anything The second one was much more chill had free food like burgers and hotdogs. The featured artist was leaving right as we got there but still got some cool stuff. The last place we went to had 25% off all back issues, each person could take five free comics, and they stuck free comic stickers on a lot of cheap junk comics just to move them. Spent like $25 dollars there. It was a pretty great day over all

The weird yellow line in the top third is on the comic.
At first I though it was a scanner glitch but it looks like a printing error.
I think the entire thing was supposed to have yellow ink across the page but for some reason it only showed up in one little strip.
I guess this is a neat alt color version.

If anyone else got this comic, do me a favor and see if yours is messed up too.
