Are You Ready?

It's that time of year! There's only one short week until one of the happiest days on the geek's calendar: FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

Do you know where to go on May 7th to get your free comic(s)?

The Free Comic Book Day Website has a store locator for your convenience, as well as a list of some comics you might see. (not all books are available in all locations)

If you haven't read comics in a while, or don't think you're interested, this is your chance to give it a try, for FREE.

I'm lucky, because in NYC the comic stores are very generous with their loot. Check out my posts about last year's haul: Part One, Part Two

FCBD Comics I'm especially looking forward to this year:
(Many of these issues have preview pages up on the FCBD site!)

Avatar: the Last Airbender/Clone Wars (A:TLA COMIC! WHOOO!!!)
Darkwing Duck/Chip n'Dale (This will probably be a reprint of stuff I have, but if you're not reading this yet, pick up the freebie!)
Mouse Guard/Dark Crystal (OMG SO PRETTY, and there's a NEW Mouse Guard story? YAY!)
Atomic Robo (Always entertaining)
The Misadventures of Adam West (Because the title is too funny not to seek this one out)

But I'll read them ALL, as always, and post my reactions afterward.

I love Free Comic Book Day! I got the Flash pin I wear on my jacket on a Free Comic Book Day, and some places give out posters and some places have signings...

Do you have plans for your Free Comic Book Day?

If the Fates Allow Edited by Annie Harper, 2017 New Release! I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for the purpose of review. Premise: Five stories of love, hope, and forgiveness at the holidays. Do you need some warm and fuzzy holiday cheer? Do you love love? This new collection features five LGBTQ holiday romances that make your heart feel full of sugarplums. I smiled and sighed and giggled. It's seriously sweet, without being too sweet.

The Silence of the Elves (crosspost)

The Silence of the Elves Meg Muldoon, 2016 Premise: Holly's been demoted right out of the North Pole through no fault of her own, but she'll need more than hope to get her life back on track. You may recall that I kind of liked another one of Meg Muldoon's holiday-themed cozy mysteries , so when I saw she had a new series that was explicitly about Christmas elves, I had to try it.

The Santa Claus Man (crosspost)

The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York Alex Palmer, 2015 Premise: In the early 1900s, more children began to write letters to Santa, and the Post Office asked for help. Enter John Duval Gluck Jr. and his creation: The Santa Claus Association. This was an interesting book overall, although the payoff is smaller than I would have preferred. The book paints a complex and intriguing picture of New York in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly around Christmas. The specific story of Gluck and his various "charities" is only the largest thread; the book also explores early influences on the image of Santa, how various staples of Christmas (public tree-lightings, parades, etc.) started or became notable in New York City.
