I just think it's the neatest thing. And my store REALLY does it up. I went to a different store one year when we were doing Stockwood. We took a break and Pete, Josh, Daniel, and I went to the comic store nearest the Faire.
They did NOTHING. They handed us one free book each and then ignored us.
My store? Options for multiple books. Artists drawing pictures to order FREE. Characters all dressed and visiting the kids. It's a PARTY!
I just LIKE IT! It's one of the things Josh and I can do together without fighting. 40 years from now every time he sees a comic he'll have me, right there. Much like snow and my mother.
I know it was started as a ploy to get more people buying comics. I know it's scheduled around the release of comic character movies to promote them. I know all the cynical things about the day and the reason for the day.
But it's FUN. I get all the free books and then I know what's coming out and what I might like to try.
