Saturday, 1st of May.

City stores most likely include King's Comics, and probably Kinokuniya.

Not sure about Comic Kingdom.

Anyone going to this?

Exactly the reason why I am going to pass on this. Three meet-ups in the space of just over a month is a bit much for me to handle... not to mention the wallet :(

Not sure if this is the page that shows you the comics you can get this year, if so, then TF isn't an offered title:

I remembered, but since I was working a 9am to 8pm shift, it was somewhat redundant. We had a meet on FCBD last year, didn't we? I recall that it worked quite well. Next year? :p

Sigh, I forgot about this as well. But then I wasnt (technically still do) feeling well. So I decided to stay in and sleep after taking a lot of tablets. I didnt wanna spread anything. Was there any Tf related comics free though?

Travelled up to Adelaide yesterday despite being sick as a dog.
Managed to grab Sonic the Hedgehog, Ironman and Thor, Archie (for my mum), The Tick, Atomic Robo and Fraggle Rock/Mouse Guard.
I only went to Adelaide comic books centre and Pulp fiction comics, the other comic book place in Hindley street but the guy who owns the store is completely rude and we were pressed for time so I didn't bother.

Adelaide comic book centre gave a away 3 per customer and Pulp fiction allowed 2

I was in the city anyway, so went to Kinokuniya and Kings, I don't think I've been to a free comic book day before, there was quite a lot of fanfare. Kinokuniya was pretty crazy, it looked like Supanova with lots of cosplayers, and even the staff were dressed up. The best part was there was a Dalek rolling around the place too. Yay! :D

I got the GI Joe comic, Iron man/Thor and Hellboy, the Joe one was the hilight as it's written by Larry Hama and set in the classic Joe comicverse.

Pretty much every shop in town that caters to nerdom had some sort of sale on too.

lol - looks like the guys at the Adelaide Comic Centre had their hands full with being "real" super heroes. (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/1047573/spiderman-jedi-knights-foil-thieves)

How cool is that.... being dressed up as Spider-Man and actually catching a thief! :D Awesome!! Totally Kick-ass!

He quietly followed one of the guests at the event, who was suspiciously dressed in regular clothing,
This part I love. Suck that, mundaner!! :D

Anyway, if there weren't any TF comics then I'm not so upset at missing out then. :)
