(Radio advertising DOES work.) I too got my FCBD books from my online mail order service but stoopid me forgot which ones I ordered!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741435186739357719.post-54432762658185409752011-05-18T22:21:58.146-04:002011-05-18T22:21:58.146-04:00I'm proud indeed, and envious, because I haven...I'm proud indeed, and envious, because I haven't read those Wonder Woman issues.<br /><br />My suspicion is that this is the year the recession finally caught wind of FCBD. Folks have been poor and otherwise in dire straits long enough to track down a comic shop at take advantage of a low/no cost event.<br /><br />However, I did my time, and now hate brick and mortar shops. I get my big two books for 38% off every month through mail order, and simply paid the $0.30-0.50 cost for each of the "free" comics I wanted in advance. For some reason I couldn't get the GL/Flashpoint one, but the rest came easy (and I actually got mine 1 1/2 weeks before FCBD.)<br /><br />Young Justice/Batman was alright, mostly for the better second half. Spider-Man was a blast until the main battle ended and the event build-up began. Captain America/Thor was just okay. Super Dinosaur kind of got on my nerves, like they've already got a toy line in the pipeline. 2000 AD was good, especially the Dredd done-in-one. I still haven't read Elric, Locke & Key, or the Magic: The Gathering ones.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com
