FCBD 2025

 Hello lovely beings
It's that time of year again!
Free Comic Book Day! 

Free Comic Book Day is usually the first Saturday of May each year. This year's FCBD happened to fall on May 3rd. This will also mark my third year volunteering to help out at the Dr. No's FCBD event, along with BB. I'm so excited! Here is the list of what I'm hoping to see and be able to get:

We stayed along with the Dr. No's crew from 11am-2pm. It rained, but Dr. No's was ready with a back up plan, and set up in their "storage" next door. Was definitely helpful with keeping the comics and most of the attendees dry. 

Here are all the goodies we were able to pick up!

                      ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Even though I didn't get every title from my list, we were still able to grab majority of what we wanted! Sadly didn't see the Stitch Best Food Forever, or Creaky Acres. I'm also sad I forgot to get a Def Leppard's Hysteria, and the Fantastic Four Xmen title, but I think we're still pretty winning. I was unaware there would be a Tamagatchi series available, so you know how quickly I scooped that one up!

After our hours were done, we got into the line to have Mark Bagley autograph one of BB's comics. I was a little on the proud side that he picked out a comic I gifted him this last Christmas 🥰. I'd gotten Mr. Bagley to draw me a Venom last year, so I decided not to ask for anything this go round, lol! There was also a "question of the day" at Dr. No's, asking who your favorite comic book artists were....of course I put down Peach Momoko since she was the first to actually catch my eye. 

Onto Steel Collectibles to see what fun is left from their event! Now Steel is a bit of a smaller store, so we weren't able to peek at the comic book areas easily. After entering in on their giveaway [we didn't win but it's always fun to enter!], we made our way to the FCBD table, picked up a couple of the ones we weren't able to snag earlier, and found some TCG singles binders to peek through. Found some bangers, then made our way to Win Conditions to get our pokemon fix for the day.

Surprised to say we came home with no non-FCBD comic books this year! I think we weren't wanting to accidentally pick up something that might be waiting for us in our pull boxes [sorry syndicate😅], so our focus was on TCG. We scooped up some booster hangs at Dollar General, some Glory of Team Rocket and my Magneton single at Win Conditions, and the other three singles at Steel Collectibles!

And just like that, another successful free comic book day is in the books. We had a "niece-play-event" shortly after so we weren't able to stay and help very long, but hopefully we'll be able to stay and assist longer for next year's FCBD!

What were your favorite pick-ups this year??

Thank you for reading
