The owner told us they were having their best FCBD ever so that was great to hear. Loved seeing a big crowd still there late in the day and just now enjoyed looking through tons of photos on their Facebook page.
Most of the free comics were gone by the time I got there but I don't go for the free books anyways. I go to support the store and buy some stuff. I did pick up a couple free books but also emptied my folder and grabbed the first trade of the relaunch of Animal Man from DC. When I asked people online which trade of the New DC 52 I should buy this one got more votes than any other.
I've always liked the Animal Man character. I have all the previous trades. Love the Grant Morrison run and also when he was in Justice League Europe. I'll be picking up volume two when it comes out and I guess also Swamp Thing Volume One by how this trade ended.
From my folder was the latest Doctor Who and Saga. Doctor Who #16. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Good ending to a nice story. Matthew Dow Smith's art perfect fit for this story. Over time I really started to love his art on Doctor Who stories but I think I heard he would be leaving those books so I'm a little sad to hear that but will take a lot at any future projects they have coming out.
I gave 4 out of 5 stars for Saga #2. I'm loving this story but I might wait to read the rest in trades. What I do a lot of the time is I will test a books for a few issues to see if I might want to pick up future trades. I just don't have the room for tons of comics issues anymore. Most of the time I either donate to libraries, trade with someone, or giveaway the single issues I get.
I have every comic from the old Valiant days. Actually I'm missing maybe five but I'm close to have a complete set. I still need to pick up some of the recent released hardback trades which were released. Reading the FCBD special has my eyes open. I'll try at least the #1 for each series.
I liked the art of the FCBD The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo preview. I might pick up the graphic novel. I liked all the movies and the first book. This seems to be a adaption of the books. Has a very Vertigo feel to it just by the layout and art along. I know several people that didn't like that cover design, I thought it was cool.
The main free comic I wanted on FCBD was the Guild/Buffy flip book since I love both of those properties. I really liked both stories and pick up anything Buffy or Guild related. Can't wait for the next collection of Guild comics to come out.

Onto something else from the weekend, my team Liverpool played Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday and went down 2-1. It was a exciting FA Cup Final but I can't bring myself to talk about it anymore than this short little ramble.

In future news Mitt Romney says its ok for states to ban interracial marriage, and states can allow dueling- that's ok with Mitt in the future. Mr. Romney will be so happy with states keeping "certain" people to "their" side of the street, that's what state rights are about by Mitt Romney. Mitt supports states rights to take the responsibility of responsibility out of the federal governments hands and put unchecked oppression in the hands of the states.

This is nothing more than GOP politicians trying to get victims killed. It's not my opinion, it's the truth, right there on the table, clear as rain.

And and for the people who have said "But this book sucks...bla bla bla" the last few days. Sorry but if your argument for banning a book is based on quality, you are as lost in cloudy thoughts as those wanting to ban it based on content.
Another thing, people need to understand it wasn't a librarian who banned this book. It was a paper pusher, a Library Administrator with no sense of cause and effect. Or sense at all from comments which were made. Again no peer review, no decision with the individual library branches. And now guess who has to clean up this mess, the librarians out front.
Librarians and libraries have had a more positive effect on my life than any school or teacher- church or preacher. They introduced me to the world. The didn't cut off my destinations or block my dreams.
