Free Comic Book Day Swag

[Now Reading| Uncle Scrooge]

Free Comic Book Day happened on May 7th and I was able to pick up a few things. I think most shops only allow you to get one comic, but my store is large and you could take as many as you wanted. So, I basically took one of each that they had.

Besides the Marvel & DC offerings, Marvel Adventures and Ex Machina respectively, I was suprised to see how many indie books there were. There was even a book about making comics. Cool.

I had to pick up Uncle Scrooge, as Im a huge fan of the Disney comics, especially the ones about ducks. The great part about them is not only the wonderful visual story telling and fun stories, but the fact that many comic book artists get their start on smaller comics like this. Its also worth mentioning that this issue is a reprint of Only A Poor Old Man, the first Uncle Scrooge comic ever published.

My favorite of the bunch has to be Flight, published by Image comics. Flight, which is onto its second graphic novel now, is a collection of short stories by indie creators. Obviously, they all have to do with flight. And they are all beautiful. Wonderful artwork and stories. Some are very simple and pure, while others are deeper and more complex. This is defintely one of those comics that will appeal to everyone, not just comic book junkies.
