It'd be funny if we didn't have to tell a bunch of people that is not the case every FCBD.

We had a major clusterfuck one year and ended up with like 250+ missing comics.

My local comic shop always has a big sale the weekend after Free Comic Book Day. So people who come in for FCBD see the fliers for the sale. I always thought that was pretty clever

I petition for this every year but the owners think having sales on FCBD is the way to go.

Abraham Riesman's pop culture articles, essays, and interviews on Vulture are uniformly great, and his new piece on Stan Lee is no exception. Most people here will already know most of this stuff about Stan the Man and his checkered legacy, but it's worth a read anyway:

WORD. You turned me onto his stuff and when I found a slight error in an article and politely pointed it out in a PM he very graciously thanked me and corrected it. Very cool guy and excellent writer.

Man, the David Tischman run of Cable was fuckin excellent. I wish he hadn't left when he did, the book had so much potential. I own the trades of his Cable stuff but I think I sold off my Soldier X issues in a garage sale.

This chat about about identity crisis and BSS: year one is making me curious about what the first years of BSS were like and what the dirt was on the various goons that were o.g.

I used to get in a lot of fights and another BSS "founder" smoked a fuckload of weed.

He's always been cool with me. Drew me a free Flash headshot, and another time we discussed revamping the Legion of Super Pets.

Ethan and I go way back to the AOL comic boards. We all met up at Chicon one ear and went to the hotel bar where he was a huge loving rear end in a top hat to our waitress and embarassed every one of us present. He continued to be a jackass until the demise of the platform.

It's just so easy for sometone to be revealed to be an rear end in a top hat or just say something stupid on the internet these days. Back in the day you'd never hear about some author's lovely political views unless he inserted them in his work. I kinda hate the idea that now that we're more interconnected than ever and it's so easy for people say poo poo that everyone will hear, the conclusion to that is that we all start cutting stuff out of lives that we'd otherwise be fine with

And it's not like it goes the other way, I could find out tomorrow that Greg Land is a committed Marxist-Leninist and donates half his income to donkey sanctuaries, I'm still not paying for his garbage.

I'm not saying that my opinion is correct, or that yours is problematic or anything, it's just how I feel about things. There's so much media these days that everyone has to filter stuff. I just don't want the artist's beliefs or Twitter antics to be one of my filters.

I was crushed when I found out what a dickhead Chuck Dixon was. He was among my favorite authors back then and I got a front row seat for him calling a popular female author a oval office.

Rip Chris Cornell. I know he wasn't really comic related but just like comics were part of my youth so was Soundgarden. I remember my cousin pumping out Superunknown in the car after he bought me a Daredevil comic from a local newstand and for some reason that day has always stood out for me.

I saw SG/Cornell live more than any other band in my life. I hope he found some sort of peace.

It's Motor CIty Comic-con weekend.

My friend Brooke was struggling with self image after her bad divorce from my former best friend. Gal Gadot's appearance as Wonder Woman in BvS inspired her. She got to work both on herself and this costume. She lost 60 pounds and made nearly every part of this outfit from scratch. I am super proud of her and from what some other friends in attendance have said she is getting mobbed for photos and rightly so as she looks great.
