Still, kinda mean to tease more Spidey when Slott doesn't seem very likely to take over one of the monthlies anytime soon...oh well. Hopefully, besides from bringing new comic book readers, this will turn more Marvel fans to try out the wonderful She-Hulk.

I haven't read Pirates v. Ninjas, but I can vouch for a lot of the books here. In particular, Love and Capes, Wahoo Morris, Whiteout, Peanuts, Owly and Amelia Rules are all books I've read and enjoyed. And you can't go wrong with Eddie Campbell (Train Was Bang on Time) or that line-up for Comics Festival, or Slott & Jimenez... and Boom! and Dark Horse both have a high across-the-board level of quality, etc. etc. And dinosaurs with laser swords. I don't care who you are, that's definitely worth checking out in a free book. ;) Yeah, and c’mon… how bad can a book be at the cost of free (or a quarter)? I haven’t read Pirates v.

This is a great place for me to check out some indy stuff I might otherwise miss. For once, though, I'm wary of the quality of the books - Randy didn't mention how awful Pirates vs. Ninjas was, so who knows how good some of the other stuff is? Still, free comics is free comics.

I just hope my store orders a lot of these titles. Sheesh, where do I start?

I'll probably try to grab a copy of <i>The Astounding Wolf-man</i> if possible. Any idea if the <i>Family Guy</i> or <i>Gumby</i> stuff is new or just reprints? Some interesting looking stuff.

It is pretty impressive to think how far it has come in just a few years. This is definitely the fist time I’ve ever actually looked forward to FBC.
