The Umbrella Corporation guards posing for the camera. I love how the girl is holding the Zombie Survival Guide.
We went to Kings Comics and they were packed (nice to see so many people getting into it) so we went to the Kinokuniya Bookstore and they usually don’t sell singles but they had FCBD (Free Comic Book Day) stuff so yays! And a lot of the staff and some other people were dressed up as all sorts of characters. They had Harley Quinn (with a cork gun), Shadowcat (the blue costume), Snake Eyes (he looked great), Kick-Ass, the Rhino, the Punisher, 3 Umbrella Corporation guards, Catwoman, and a ton of Star Wars dudes. There was even a red Star Wars droid that made all sorts of sounds and a massive Dalek. Too bad I didn’t get more photos.
We were kinda late so I was happy to see that there were still some Iron Man/Thor copies (I loved it by the way, thanks Matt Fraction and John Romita Jr and the rest of the creative team!) and my wife got Artifacts from Top Cow. Most of the people ahead of us were getting Sonic. A lot of people seemed to have taken advantage of the 20% off comics sale so that’s good. It really makes me happy to see people getting into it. My wife got the I Kill Giants hardcover and I wanted to get Parker: The Hunter but I might just get it online since the price wasn’t that good at the store.
For various reasons, I’ve missed all the other FCBDs so this was my first one and while I wasn’t able to go to my shop (I hate going in there when there’s tons of people), I was glad to see Kinokuniya do something special for FCBD. So yeah, quite a bit of fun!
