FCBM2 Day 1

It's day one of the second annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Today's selected entry comes from Todd Ferrante. The five comics that Todd listed are:

1. Ex Machina
2. Sandman
3. All Star Superman
4. Spider-Man
5. Runaways

I can see from Todd's list that he enjoys quality super-hero comics with an element of fun. So for Todd's free comic I'm choosing:

She-Hulk 2 #1 by Dan Slott, Juan Bobillo & Marcelo Sosa. I'm also throwing in Invincible #0, the special origin issue by Robert Kirkman & Ryan Ottley.

And like all the selected entries, Todd will be receiving a special Dark Horse promo-priced comic, in this case The Goon 25¢ Edition by Eric Powell.

Todd's comics should be in the mail by the end of the week. Enjoy!
