Woo!!! It’s Free Comic Book Day, guys! Hopefully those of you who partake in this holiest of holy days already got to go raid and pillage (and also support, of course) your local comic book shop! I got off to my earliest start ever for FCBD and was the second person to hop in line outside the store.
I had to make the expedition all by my lonesome today since my boyfriend couldn’t go until much later in the afternoon, so he urged me to go on without him and collect all the bounty FCBD had to offer. And quite the bounty it was, so let’s get into all the sweet deetz of this year’s Free Comic Book Day Haul! š
From the glorious table of freebies, we (between my morning visit and the boyfriend’s afternoon visit to the store) were able to snag some really cool stuff. Aaaand, this particular morning warrior (yours truly) was the main bread winner in bringing home the goods today. *flexes*
Barrier #1 (Brian K. Vaughan’s launch to his new miniseries!)
A Brief History of Tank Girl
Attack on Titan Anthology
Marvel Rising #0
Bob’s Burgers
DC Nation #0
Suicide Squad #1
Invader Zim: Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy
Catalyst Prime: The Event
Lady Mechanika: The Demon of Satan’s Alley
Shadow Roads
And, of course, Free Comic Book Day is not only a day to receive, but also to give, so I was damn sure going to support my local comic shop and purchase some goodies. š I’ve been hearing really good things about the graphic novel I Kill Giants, so I purchased a copy of that.
Aaaand, they had a limited number at the counter of these adorable little Free Comic Book Day Exclusive Harley Quinn vinyl figures, so you bet I got one. š
When my boyfriend ended up getting to go later in the afternoon, he also picked us up some volumes of Lady Mechanika which I’ve been wanting to check out for some time, so that was really exciting. š
All in all, this FCBD was definitely a good one for us, even if we didn’t get to go check things out at the same time. It was a lot of fun, and the weather was gorgeous. Did you partake in any Free Comic Book Day goodness today? If so, I’d love to hear how it went and what sort of loot you got! š And if not, feel free to just bring up any good comics you’ve read lately or anything special you’ve got on your radar. Have a great weekend, everyone!! ā¤

Thanks! š Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I’m really excited to read Lady Mechanika. The art looks fantastic, and I’m pretty much always game for anything steampunk! š

I think steampunk is really cool but not many people can carry off the fashion in real life. I think Johnny Depp could but not so much Hillary Clinton

lmao Now I’m just imagining Hilary Clinton with goggles and a corset-topped pants suit. š Too funny.
I love steampunk fashion. A couple of Halloweens ago I was a steampunk fairy. I’ve been a lady mad hatter before, and an undead pirate wench, too. (Basically any excuse to don a big poofy skirt and boots!) haha

A great haul indeed! Unfortunately there was no Tank Girl at my local comic-book emporium, a shame as I absolutely love TG. Though I did pick up a couple of copies of DC Nation #0 which is fantastic!! Those bombshell mini figs are awesome, I have the Wondy one, would like the Catwoman one at some point too. I also picked up a new statue whilst at the shop, so new unboxing vid ahoy! š

Thank you! š Aw, that’s a bummer that they didn’t have any Tank Girl at your comic shop for FCBD. That’s cool that you have some of the Lil Bombshell figures already. I’d never seen them before, and the lil Harley one was too cute to pass up. š
And yay for another upcoming unboxing video! š Looking forward to seeing it.

Awesome haul!
I love the cover on i kill giants. It would be awesome for a video game!

Thanks! š
I agree! It really would make a great video game cover. I can get a little “meh” when they replace original book/comic covers with the “Now a Motion Picture” versions of covers, but this one I really do like. š
