Anyone ever check this out? I've only ever been once and only after everything was well picked over, but I am thinking of heading out tomorrow (today, by the time most of you read this). Any recommendations?
Also - and apologies to anyone who follows me on FB and Twitter and Tumblr and has seen this multiple times already - but a comics artist I like is giving away digital copies of everything he's ever made for FCBD. Go get it here http://ryanestrada.com/fcbd/ and read The Bear From The Bear And The Beach From The Beach - I got the original artwork as part of a Kickstarter deal a year or two back.
Since FCBD is always on Kentucky Derby weekend I've only been able to attend on the actual day once. I'm hoping the shop I frequent was able to save me a copy of Divergence from DC and the Valiant anniversary special.

I largely don't give a hoot for superheroes so I stuck mostly to funny ones and ones where I was all "well, I don't know what this is about," except for where I didn't do that at all. Specifically I got: - the aforementioned Fight Club - The Tick - Bob's Burgers - Captain Canuck - Comics Festival! - Super Mutant Magic Academy which if you flip it over has a bunch of Kate Beaton comics - Hip-Hop Family Tree - some LCBDF thing that appeared to mostly be about the gay dude from Archie
I have read none of these yet. Gotta finish off some library books first.
I also bought a few graphic novels and the new Calvin & Hobbes collection of strips I already owned in other books and a Simpsons action figure (Buzz Aldrin) to go with my other Simpsons action figures (Bret Hart, Penn & Teller, Weird Al, Leonard Nimoy).
