Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday, May 5th!

Hey everybody! Free Book Day is this Saturday, May 5th! What is Free Comic Book Day? It’s just what it sounds like: a day to patron your local comic book store and pick up some free . It’s a day to celebrate our hobby, and the stores that make it possible. Without our local stores, where would we be? You can get online (and I do), but it’s really nice to have a local store to call home. A place to gather with fellow comic enthusiasts and debate which is better, or ? Who would win in a fight, Captain America or Cyclops? What will happen to Mark Grayson () next? On Free Comic Book Day, we celebrate these stores.

A few things worth mentioning: not every comic in the store will be free. Stores will have specially marked comics that will be free. However, it is likely to be fantastic sales going on as well. I know my store, Galactic Greg’s will be having 20% off everything else in the store. Call yours for details. Also, this day is for celebrating comic book stories. Places like grocery stories with comic and magazine racks don’t participate. Don’t be greedy, and have a good time!

If you’re to comics and are wondering what to check out, have no fear, the Fanatics are here. Here are some good X-Men stories, Avengers VS X-Men, some non-superhero comics, and my weekly column. Hopefully that will give you some ideas of places to start.

Simply Because a lot of great free of charge titles will be offered from Publishers such as Darkish horse, Dc comics, Marvel and TokyoPoP and more.

    For movies I know there is X Adult Males 1, X2, X Men: The Final Stand, and X Men Origins: Wolverine.

    As far as the tv displays go I have X Adult Males Evolution and the X Adult Males from the early 1990′s.

    I feel like there is another X Men movie or present that I am forgetting. Is there one particular with Tarot in it? If so what is it called?

    Thanks!

    Who would win based on these rosters?
    X-Men: Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Colossus, Beast, Iceman, and Nightcrawler.
    Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Thing, Spiderman, Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Daredevil.

    Who would win based on these lineups?
    Lineups:
    Cyclops vs Captain America
    Wolverine vs Black Panther
    Colossus vs Iron Man
    Beast vs Thing
    Gambit vs Spiderman
    Nightcrawler vs Daredevil
    Iceman vs Hawkeye

  9. Who would win a fight X-men or Avengers? i say x-men because well there are just so many of them with many different kinds of powers while the only good avengers are are ironman and Hulk. Iron-man can be more than easily killed by an telopath or a iron controllers like magneto and his daughter… Hulk you could just put to sleep
    who would win and WHY

  10. Which team would win based of these Lineups:

    Avengers Roster:
    Thor
    Hulk
    Iron Man
    Captain America
    Hawkeye
    Black Widow
    Luke Cage
    Spiderman
    Ant Man
    Wasp
    Falcon
    Black Panther

    X-Men Roster:
    Cyclops
    Beast
    Jean Grey(with Phoenix Force power)
    Wolverine
    Nightcrawler
    Namor
    Deadpool
    Colossus(Juggernaut)
    Storm
    Magneto
    Archangel
    Iceman

  11. 1. Did Iron Fist just die in round # 10? i was a bit confused because i did not see him after his fight with Cyclops, and it looked like Summers killed him.
    2. What ended up happening to Colossus, Magik and Namor? Did they die or just loose their Pheonix Force powers?
    3. What do you think is going to happen in round 11 and 12?
