This is awesome. I never got to read #1.

old news. too bad i dont have any comic specialty stores near me.

Front paged as a freindly reminder!

I'm going tomorrow with my dad. I'm picking up Sonic the Hedgehog, and my dad is getting Transformers for me.

NEWBURY COMICS HERE I COME

Think Movie prequel #1's gonna be my free comic if I'm able to go tomorrow.

May just have to make that 1 hr extra drive tomorrow after work.

Ill be hitting up Jay and Silent Bobs Secret Stash to see if they will be giving any away, i hope so

free comic book day is just them giving away ashcan like stuff. it's not like they give away "real" comic books it's like 12 page to 8 page stuff that is promoting new stuff.. boo.. yuck

At my old comic store they let everyone have a copy of each comic they offered for free comic book day. Most were stuff like Ducktales and kiddy comics, but there were a few decent stuff once in a while.

anyone want to pick up an extra for me? pretty please

Damn all the stores near me arent doing it this year. The nearst one is a 20min drive away. Damn it.

Nifty. I can get Amazing Spider-Man Swing Shift 2007 and that thing from Dark Horse too, if I want.

Lucky. I don't have any stores near me. Nearest one is damn near to Fiesta Mall. That's quite a ways, especially since it takes me no fewer than 15 minutes (often more than that if you factor in traffic and the ongoing road work on Ironwood).

Well seeing as i dont have a job wich means no money for gas im not lucky. Its strange. I got a flyer from the one store about comic book day but hes not on the websites list. Ill have to stop by and check just in case.

I'd like a free comic book

Free comic book day has been good to me.
I got the Transformers prequel, a Batman Hero clix, a
FF4 movie poster, and because I brought my kid who just happened to be wearing her Flash hat and a Ghost Rider shirt,
they gave her a ton of free comics including Spider-man- Gumby.
SCORE!!!!!!
I may still go to Milwaukee as there are at least 4 comic shops up there.

I picked up the free TF issue and 2 others. I tried to get a TF movie poster but they were all out

How many pages was Prequel #1? Also picked up TF Spotlight: Kup (the sketch version of Nick Roche's cover). Gotta read it again because the end got a bit confusing, but I really enjoyed it. Also needed bags and boards, because I've been out forever and I need to keep my TFCC newsletters in something.

Edit: I actually counted 22 pages after seeing this quote, with 3 adds, a "decepticomments" page, and 2 sketch pages at the end. Funk's comment has me wondering a little bit if this the normal issue content. Story itself is quite good, though I feel it could have quite easily passed as a one-shot like the Kup spotlight I bought today. That's not a bad thing though, since the first 2 issues of the prequel mini are sold out.

I went to the nearest comic store and managed to swipe the very last copy of Prequel #1. Good thing 'cuz I missed the original release and apparently these are completely sold out.

That's why they front-paged this one on Friday; normal issue is sold out, and the FCBD edition was a solid second chance at grabbing a copy.

What I think is neat to get at FCBD are these freebie comics of books that I've never even heard of. Some can be a pleasant surprising book that you didn't plan on getting, and some things...well, I'm not keen on free reprints (examples: every FCBD Transformer book that has come out so far, last year's Superman/Batman #1).

Actually, there's only been two FCBD Transformer issues to my knowledge previously,and only the IDW issue was a reprint. The Dreamwave Armada issue had a completely new story, which I was fortunate to pick up last year(the comic shop I went to last year still had some old stuff).

But anyway, this issue officially has all the actual comic content that Prequal #1 had? If so, then congratulations IDW, you win. I read it, and now I'm curious as to what happens next, and I will either pick up the back issues if I can, or get the trade. To clarify, that was Bumblebee that got his vocal cords cut, right? Hope he turns out well in the movie, but I'll find out in 58 days . It's gonna be so awsome.

Hey, was the Spider-Man issue a new one? I enjoyed that story. The X-Men Runaways, not so much. The story was fine, but I really didn't like the art style. I'm gonna have to pick up those digests someday, as the Runaways seem very interesting.

My comic store didn't get anything to give away for free comic book day. No TF prequal for Neko.
