NOTE FROM JENNIFER:
Last Saturday was Free Comic Book Day,
and you can be certain we here at Top5
Comics were celebrating. Here are a few
things we overheard at the party.


The Top 8 Things
Overheard on Free Comic Book Day


8> “Be sure to put these in plastic sleeves *immediately*! By this time next year, I *guarantee* they’ll have doubled in value!”

7> “So, how is this giving-comics-away idea different from webcomics again?”

6> “I’ll save the free comic until I get home; the rest I’ll read here and put back on the shelves.”

5> “Sorry, but you’d have to *pay* me to take home something with ‘Stan Lee Presents’ in the title.”

4> “OK, who’s the soon-to-be-fired idiot who sent all our Free Comics Day books out to be CGC graded?”

3> “Well, that’s one way to get rid of these Devin Grayson ‘Nightwing’ back-issues.”

2> “I don’t care if its free AND you autographed it, Leifield; I don’t want your stupid book.”

and the Number 1 Thing Overheard on Free Comic Book Day…

1> “Do I Smell… NERDS?!”
