(The Comic Cave) #FCBD Free Comic Book Day 2015: CJ's top 10!

This is the 2015 Free COmic Book Day special! Today, in the US (and most of the world) it is FCBD, brought to you by Diamond Comics Distributors, where your local comic book stores have loads (around 50 this year ) of  comic books for FREE! Now, some retailers can choose to make you buy a certain amount of stuff before giving them away, some charge a couple of pennies for them, and thats alright.  The comics are free to us, but not to the retailers, so remember to buy some other stuff while youre there, support your LCBS, they will love you for it! Also, if you like these books, put them on your pull list, ask your LCBS how they handle those lists, I mean, a lot of these are big sales attempts anyway, if you like them, make them work!

This time around, Im going to give you my top 10 comics from FCBD, in relatively no particular order, Im not going to spoil you on them, but Ill give you a little bit on what they are.

    • Also contains a Plants vs Zombies & Bandette story

The Geek I/O Show: Episode 103 Show Notes

(Darrell's Comic Cave) Disney makes a stand: Han shot first! #Marvel #StarWars

Could it be that Disney and Marvel are looking to address the controversy over whether or not Han shot first? Issue 3 of the ongoing Star Wars comic book includes the following exchange:

Is this the biased opinion of a character who both hates Solo and wasn't there? Is it a nice nod to fans who weren't happy with the continuity change? Let us know what you think in the comments.
