Free Comic Book Day

Hey comic book lovers!

This Saturday, May 2, is Free Comic Book Day.  Head out to your local comic store and pick up some freebies! Not a comic book lover? Why not take this opportunity to go see what gooes your local comic store has? Shop owners are often great at directing you to something that is just right for you and they have a wealth of knowledge about the variety of comics there are.

It was great talking to Cecil as I had recently picked up a Minx sampler and read a little preview of Janes in Love, which is coming out this fall. Read the rest of this entry »
