freeCMICday RANT....or How We ALL Came To LOVE COMICS!

Free Comic Book Day 2012.....

It's soon again upon us, and to discover the latest updates on what IMAGE COLLECTIONS has planned THIS year [and other year's highlights :o].....just ....

As for the EVENT itself.....

We’d like to see it stand tall as a ‘Literary Holiday’ encouraged by many of those who, sadly, are still unaware of its existence. 

It will though one day achieve credence, as, like the printed words in a ‘well-traveled’, hand me down, old comic back issue, its exposure becomes less of a secret pleasure and more of an expected enjoyment.

Each one of us [ yes, we mean wonderful YOU! :o] can help ‘spread the words’ and intentionally, purposefully, and proudly introduce whomever we can to the ‘big picture’ within these crazy panels…

It wouldn’t be the worst objective to endure, turning Free Comic Book Day into a serious state of sharing…

Bring out the host in yourself when it comes to recruiting others for an enjoyable day of sampling the medium of sequential artistry, unearthing unique retail experiences, and ‘Free Stuff’ [a rallying cry the masses usually find irresistible]…

Youngsters especially just LOVE the excitement of the day. Do you know any who’d relish the person who invited their family to a theme day like this? We bet you do!

Whether it be small gatherings, interestingly creative artistic meet-ups, or crazy ‘Parking Lot Shindigs’ like ours [trying to encourage interaction], Free Comic Book Day still has the potential to turn heads towards discovering greatness between the pages, thus leaving these newly accomplished readers baffled as to why it took them so long to discover what it is we already know so well, leaving them enthusiastically eager to try more…

And, as we all know after encountering someone fulfilled, delighted, and fervent, well, those ‘things’ are just bubbly, dangerous, and contagiously ‘tribble’-like!

Thanks for reading our long-windedness :o)….

.....maybe you know someone you could bring along as well....

"I know how gods begin, Roger.....We start as dreams....Then we walk out of
 dreams into the land.....We are worshipped and loved, and take power to
 ourselves....And then one day there's no one left to worship us....And in the
 end, each little god and goddess takes its last journey back into
 dreams....and what comes after, not even we know."
------From 'Sandman: Brief Lives', words by Neil Gaiman---

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi .

-----Wonder Woman: Race you.
----------Flash: (pause) You're on.
-----Wonder Woman: I warn you, the gods granted me the speed of Mercury.
---------Flash: I'm sorry, I thought you were *fast.*
-----From 'JLA: Tower of Babel', words by Mark Waid...of which DC COMICS 'JLA: DOOM' animated DVD was loosely based on...
