I just got done from participating in my first Free Comic Book Day event in about 10 years. It sure is a bigger deal than it used to be.

For those still nursing hang-overs and not quite with the rest of us yet, that's today. Check out your local comic shop for free goodies and comics, and usually big sales.
I picked up some free issues today already. Going back after 3 p.m. when they let you come back and take as much as you want of what's left. (They only let you pick out 2 at first, so I got the DC New 52 Future's End and Guardians of the Galaxy ones, first.)
Saw a guy fully decked-out as Deadpool. And he did a damn good job on the costume.

I recently bought most of the entire Doom 2099 issues and tie-ins for cheap not too long ago, and I've been reading it and really enjoying it.
Well I just started getting through the highly-recommended Warren Ellis issues which begins with issue #26 (in the pic). I'm up to about issue #33 when Alchemex makes their own Captain America to stand against Doom.
And I've got to say, I'm QUITE disappointed. I think Warren Ellis's run on this series is praised for no other reason than it's Warren Ellis. Because his run hasn't been nearly as good as the 25 issues prior.
He's going for this big, epic storyline where Doom takes control of America. The problem is that while he's reaching for this great epic storyline for the 2099 Universe, he's completely lost the character of Doom. Instead of being the fully-fleshed out character that was neither fully hero nor fully villain that I had read for the last 25 issues, Doom becomes a stale archetype of his old villain self (and I mean "stale", because when villain Doom is written right, he's an amazing villain). Ellis also immediately kills off two main-characters in Prophet and Wire when he takes over, which is another big disappointment. And while that cover looks great, the inner-artwork definitely took a dive.
I'm gonna keep reading this until the end, and hope there's a big pay-off. But all those people praising Warren Ellis's run on Doom 2099, have really disappointed me. I wish they would have kept the old creative team around to end this series.

I picked up a few comic books on Free CB day. Sonic/Mega Man X, Transformers v GI Joe, The Tick and The Simpson's. I'm not big on Comic books but free stuff is free stuff!
