FCBM2 Day 22.5

It's still day Twenty-two of the second annual YACB Free Comic Book Month, and even though the Boomtown Rats don't like Mondays, we do. So let's give away more free comics!

Today's second selected entry comes from Zoe Holmes. Zoe's five comics are:

1. Hard Times
2. Rocketo
3. Y, the Last Man
4. Legion of Super-Heroes
5. Daredevil

So I'll be sending Zoe the future-noir comics Ferro City #1-2 by Jason Armstrong.

And like all the selected entries, Zoe will be receiving a special Dark Horse promo-priced comic, in this case the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic/Rebellion Flip Book.

Zoe's comics should be in the mail soon. Enjoy!

There's still time to send in your entry for the YACB Free Comic Book Month; details are here.

As a fan of quality super-hero books and Amelia Rules, I suspect that Pat will also enjoy Electric Girl #3 by Michael Brennan.
