Today was Free Comic Book Day [View all]
Our family spent FCBD at 4ColorFantasies in Rancho Cucamonga, where a shockingly high number of folks (seriously, I'm betting at least a thousand visitors to a little stripmall comic store) showed up to collect their shwag, ogle the cosplayers and Stormtrooper detachment, and buy original artwork by several artists who were sketching and signing away like mad.

The line was a few hours long, so my dumb ass got sunburned, but we all had a blast, and the free comics were great. Archaia Publishing even put out a free hardback Mouseguard anthology. Add in the Serenity/Star Wars flipbook from Dark Horse and some DC reprints of recent classics along with a ton of kid-friendly books and you get One Happy Nerdfamily.
