Free Comic Book Day

Saturday was Free Comic Book Day and the Source was selling everything at 20% off, plus if you had a Source card you got an additional 10% off everything as well. I picked 2 Dauntless Escort for $3.60 each and 2 Knight of New Alara for $2.88 each. I would have picked up a playset but I just bought half a box of Alara Reborn with Blong on Friday. I was so tempted to pick up an Alara Reborn Fat Pack too because it was only $25, but I didn’t.

Next year, I’m going to save up some money and get to the Source early because there are few comics that I’ve been wanting to get. I’m not a hardcore comic book guy but I am a fan of the Marvel & DC Universe. Here are two that I want to read:

Batman: The Long Holloween

Acclaimed as the best Batman story in the past 15 years! Its storyline is really compelling because it returns Batman as a detective who has to piece the clues together. A real gripping read!

Ironman: Demon in a Bottle

Tony Stark’s playboy lifestyle finally catches up to him. Under all that armor is a man addicted to alcohol and he now must face his addiction head on. This graphic novel shows how human Tony Stark is and who his greatest foe is… himself.
