Reposted on: 1.5.09 0629.01 | | I've been reading the Free Comic Book Day site over the past couple days. Maybe it's me, but it seems like a perfect time to get back into reading comics. The crap from '98 through '99 seems to have died down and some good books are popping up. | odessasteps

I think there are more and more quality books every year, thanks to the ease of publishing these days. NOW, getting your book seen (or at least in Previews) is a different story.

Reposted on: 6.5.09 0750.55 | | Hopefully this went well for retailers across the country. I had to miss out since I was in the Grandstand at the Kentucky Derby all day. However, since I already buy around 20 books a month, I'm not the target audience. I hope retailers took advantage of this and made some new customers. Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything about it locally, and I haven't been able to get by my shop to get my books from last week yet, so I'll be interested to hear what they have to say about it. | SerWolfe

i lived just outside south county and we had a small shop called Amazon comics. It was within walking distance from my job then and we would go up there on lunch a lot of times. It was nice and convenient. | odessasteps

We had a very crowded turnout, but we also had an artist and someone dressed as Batman taking polaroids.

He let me know that it was a top 5 day in terms of sales for his store. I think it was a success! | Trineo
