free comic book day!

Today is a great day, it's the first weekend in May. This weekend may be marked by Mother's Day, but I like to think of it as the beginning of the comic season. Yes the comic season. This is the weekend that a new comic book movie comes out. This year's comic movie was Thor. Another big this about this weekend is it's Free Comic Book Day today. This has been happening since 2002. It coincided with the release of the first Spider-Man film. There has only been two years without a comic film to help with free comic book day.

I have not actually celebrated every free comic book day, but I have been trying to the last few years. This year was a really fun one. I brought Allison along with me for the ride. First year the both of us went out for it. Bloomington only has one comic shop so we decide to hit up Indianapolis for free comic book day. I scouted out seven different locations in Indy to visit. Oh it was a going to be an amazing day. We headed up and I decide at the last minute to change the route and visit the west side stores first and loop back down.

We visited Downtown Comics West first and then we went to Comic Carnival West. They were good. We got some basic comics like Captain America and Thor, Spider-man, to Mouse Guard. Finding a lot of cool comics, but not the main one I was looking for, Super Dinosaur. The new Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard comic. After one more shop we decide to stop for lunch in Greenwood. We were a little pooped by that time. We got some hot dogs for lunch. A perfect lunch for today. Allison got a Indy Dog and I got a Chicago Dog. So awesome. So good. We were about to just head home when I was like there one more comic shop that wasn't one of the Indy chains. I had never been there and it was in a part of town I didn't visit often. After getting a little lost we finally found Comic Book University. This was the best stop. They had more free comic than all the other stores combined. I also found Super Dinosaur! It was awesome.

That was my adventure for free comic book day. One of my many Cassette Tape t-shirt with my red converses were worn on this amazing comic adventure. I hope everyone else had an exciting free comic book day too. I know mine was awesome. Driving all over Indy for a bunch of free comics and a few I bought that I couldn't find in Bloomington. Nice.
