Free Comic Book Day this Saturday and more...

Wow...I didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted on here. A lots been going on. I know I usualy do my big post about Emerald City Comic Con and all but it just wasn't happening this year. I did attend, but was feeling very under the weather. Turned out I was actually going into congestive heart failure, which explains why I felt so shitty and unsociable that weekend. I'm doing good now though. Getting healthy. Losing weight. Feeling better than I have in a long time.

Enough about me though...

Who is stoked about Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, May 3rd? I sure am. It's a great way to get out and support your local comic shop,  introduce new readers, and just mingle and make new friends with like minded folks. Head over to Free Comic Book Day and find a participating store near you.

I know know my local shop, Avalon Comics at the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale, WA has some fun stuff lined up. They're encouraging cosplayers to dress up as their favorite superheroes and such, and offering prizes to the best! Also, they're hosting a special appearance by artist Jeffery Veregge, who will be signing at the shop that day. Jeffrey recently did some art for IDW publishing, and will be doing an interview on this blog very soon as well.

After spending some time at the comic shop, I'm gonna go watch the Amazing Spiderman 2. Have you seen it yet? Whats your opinion? Here's a trailer for those of you who have been lost in the woods andhavent seen it...

Well that's enough from me for now. Stay tuned for the interview with Jeffrey Veregge as well as some other exciting stuff...Before I go, I want to remind you all to join us on Facebook at the Comic Book Swap Meet group and follow me on twitter @thestevestrout and use the hashtag #ComicBookSwapMeet ...

Steve!
