Comic Books

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

See our sister sites!

So this is my first time hearing about it, and it sounds really interesting. How does it? work? Can you just walk into a store and pick some up? Or is it an add-on to your purchase? And is there a limit to how much you can choose?

Y'know, those are all great questions lol. I'm actually wondering many of the same things as this'll be my first FCBD too!

I think it's only one free book out of the listed titles, but idk other than that. I also wonder if, say I want both the titles I listed, can I buy one and one is the free one, or is it like a one per customer kind of thing?

Hopefully one of us 'round here who knows can comment with the answers, otherwise I plan to ask these questions to my shop since I'll be there Wednesday anyway and I'll come back and let ya know!

The rules vary store by store, some let you pick one, some 3, some 5. Some don't care.

We're regulars at our store so they let us pick what we want. LOL.

Thanks! I'm a regular at mine now too I guess, so here's hoping! Especially since I only want two. I can pick of those two easy though if need be!
