Which ones did you get?
Happy FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
I got these:




Sadly the local comic shop (in my subway station) didn't really take advantage of the fact that it was a beautiful day and there were tons of parents and kids running around the neighborhood. They only had one a poster saying "free comic book day" that wasn't visable until you were already walking in the door. It would have been nice if they had a bigger display outside or on the street that encouraged pedestrian traffic to stop in and check out all the free cool stuff. But then I would have also recommended they organized the store a bit better and cleaned the place up to be a bit more welcoming to kids and parents in the first place. Why can't all stores be like ROCKETSHIP?
I fear that the only people who take advantage of Free Comic Book Day are people who already frequent comic shops. Which is good for convincing fanboys to try new things but doesn't further expand the readership of the medium (which I think was the original plan).
