What’s everyone excited about?
Maybe the last FCBD ever!! Or maybe Diamond sells the rights to someone willing to take it over.

Nothing super exciting. There’s maybe 4-5 I’ll try to grab. Monsters, the Godzilla book, Blood Type, the Boom 20th anniversary one.
Mostly, I’m excited about the sales that come with it. One shop I will hit probably tomorrow has all back issues 25 cents. While there’s not a ton of great back issues there, they do have a lot of sorta recent books that I’ll grab for run fillers.

Oh crap. Another shop has all of their incentive books at cover price. They have a TON. Like 8 long boxes. Crap. Now I need to go there too.

I forgot it was FCBD. I am having a garage sale with a neighbor where I will be selling thousands of comics for $1 among other things.

I almost enjoy the spectacle of the day more than the comics although there’s usually some really cool comics. It’s fun when shops go big though and have guests or free food or costume contests and so forth. Seeing the crowd and all the different ages/demographics of comic fans is a good way to warm my usually cold and cynical heart.
Here’s what I’m eying. I may have to hit a few shops to grab all these.
Cheesy, but could be an entertaining read.
Even if this is a children’s book, but I love infinity covers.
New Ghost Rider character.
1st appearance of new character.
1st appearance of new character.
Not sure about this one, but can’t pass on free transformers.
Post Malone and Micheal Bay. Free spec play!
Free Spears. What more do you need?

My FCBD free comics.
I looked through the voices comic and didn’t see any first appearance of a new ghost rider. The ghost rider story was a reprint of Robbie Reyes #1….which was the first appearance of Fantasma. so I think that’s what they are referring to.

I liked the Absolute DC story with Mirror Master(s).
So I skipped my LCS on FCBD and went to other shops about 45 miinutes away.
Mostly because my LCS decided a few years back to only rotate a limited selection of books every few hours…and even the ones they put out they stamped their information on the cover.
I get that’s what the blank space where the upc was is for and it’s their choice….but Who does that anymore?
For those reasons I skipped them this year. But I did drop in today to see what was left….they had everything out on the counter…plenty of each book…but a limit of 3 and they stamped all of them. I grabbed a few for the read. But that’s why I go somewhere else on FCBD.
Limit 3 is also fine, but maybe increase it to 6 or something if you make a purchase? Between this and having an archaic system for pull lists…they are so out of touch.
I see the Darth Vader 3 cover A 9.8 still behind the glass with the $500 price tag as well hasn’t sold.

I worked yesterday and my wife took my youngest to get his FCBD books. The owner told my wife “make sure you get some for your husband and your oldest” such a cool dude.

Hit a few sales this weekend. Hard to pass up 25 cent and 20 cent back issue sales.
These were all either 20 or 25 cents (two different shops):
These incentives were all cover price. All are 1:50s, except for the Batgirl (1:25) and X Factor (1:100).

yea the synopsis for the voices book was very misleading
Worth grabbing the FOIL CVR?..Who is the powerful new character, is it 1st app?.
What about the FF book?. Who is the 1st app of new mutant character, who is the All-New, All different X-Men?
I grabbed these books, but haven’t opened them yet. Will take a look.

One of the issues features a Deadpool and Wolverine Variant story that just cracked me up. They go into the comics to make their first appearance something that people pay for. So they end up inserting themselves in the Dazzler tour book, (can’t think of its name). Anyway, they enter the Spiderman book and make a crack that they can’t kill anyone there because they love the characters. But they reconsider when they see MJ’s beau, Paul

That Wolverine/Deadpool story gave me a good chuckle too! Actually made me buy the concert of champions book to nab their first appearance! (I’m such a sucker 
)
That’s what it was. Concert of Champions. Were they in that book too?
yeah they pulled some deadpool hawkeye crap there
