The Spoils of Free Comic Book Day
Heeding my own warning I woke up at 11 today, showered, picked up a few friends, and hit the comic shops. The first stop was Krypton Comics, a shop that used to be located a stones throw from my front door, it’s the biggest shop in Omaha, and the biggest crowd I’m sure. The line outside the shop to meet Lou Ferrigno was insanely long, the 501st was there too, a long with some local artists doing free drawings and comic authors/writers signings. We ended up just grabbing some of the free comics and ditching as the store was completely packed, and its not exactly the cleanest or easiest to navigate store in the first place.

I’d never actually seen the R2 builders work first hand, impressive stuff
Once we managed to escape the store with our lives we went to this nice smaller shop in downtown Benson called Legend Comics. The experience there was very pleasant comparatively, the shop is way cleaner, and easier to find stuff at, they even had an awesome Captain American and The Avengers arcade cabinet. The sale they had going on we’re awesome, 50% of back issue stuck me as particularly insane, with 20/30% off everything else. Unfortunately I’m rather poor right now, so I ended up just buying The Goon Volume 1 and Scott Pilgrim ‘s Precious Little Life.
