Comics: Free Comic Book Day

Today is Free Comic Book Day. Check to see if your local comic book store is participating and get out and get those free books.

I stopped over to see Brett, Scott and Chris at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH.

I said hi to the guys and picked up 7 free comics. I got The astounding Wolf-man from Image comics, Viper Comics Presents Volume 2, Marvel Adventures Iron Man & Hulk, Unseen Peanuts from Fantagraphics Book, Sonic the Hedgehog from Archie Comics (for the grandson of one of Allison’s friends), Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century (I’ll read it and give it to Allison’s friend’s grandson) and The Transformer’s Official Movie Prequel. I already had the pay version of this and thought that there would be something extra in the free version but nope. I think the only difference was the ad for the Megatron Spotlight issue.

I also got a free Batman Heroclix and a poster for the Fantastic 4 movie. I didn’t get there when the guys were serving free pizza but we had an afternoon party anyway so I didn’t really need free pizza. Although free pizza always tastes better. Since the guys were so generous and participated in this event and they were offer in 25% off everything in the store for the day I was able to pick up Josh Howard Presents Sasquatch from Viper Comics. I am eager to read the stories especially the one by Wes Molebash of You’ll Have That.

The Pop Candy Podcast: Y: The Last Man

Pop Candy is a blog that is part of USA Today. It is written by Whitney Matheson. Whitney is pretty up on what is happening in Pop Culture and most of here news is cutting edge. I tend to go there a couple of times a day to be updated in all things Pop culture. I’ve taken to listening to my iPod in the car as of late and I am getting caught up with Whitney’s Podcasts. She has a great voice for a podcast and I like listening to her interviews. I’ve only gotten through 3 of them so far, but what I have heard has been very good. This morning I learned all about the different jobs on the movie set and this afternoon I listened to a podcast about a comic book that I may want to read. Since the series will be over soon (I’m not sure if it is or not) I can get all the trade paperbacks soon and read them at once if it is something I am interested in. From the discussion that was going on with the creator of Y:The Last Man I think this is something I would like to read.
