FREE COMIC BOOKS! WHOOHOO!!!!

How exciting is this weekend gonna be! Not only do we have the much awaited Spiderman 3 swinging into theaters, but on Saturday we get free comics!

Visit a participating local comic shop to get some of the free comics supplied by several major publishers. Many are special editions only available on Free Comic Book Day!

Thanks to Paul, the Librarian at Pasco County's New River branch, for telling me about the this last week and to the folks at Westport Library in CT for reminding me to post about it.

Along Came a Spider...

So, are your Spidey senses tingling? Okay, at least your fanboy/girl senses? Spider-Man 3 drops May 4 and its web is all ready to catch all our money. Judging the early looks, it just might be worth it.

We have 3, count 'em 3, villains this time: the New Goblin (Harry Osborn picking up the family business), Sandman (the CG star of the trailers), and maybe the deadliest Spidey enemy of all time, Venom--the "black Spider-Man to you non-geeks (played by...Topher Grace? No, really, it'll work). And if ol' Web Head didn't have enough on his plate, he gets a second love interest in Gwen Stacy, who has a very different history in the comics universe.

Now, why not feed your need while you wait by checking out Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 at your friendly neighborhood library? Or the shelf-load of Spidey comix we have in our catalog? You can brush up on your Venom and Gwen or just outsource your time until the movie opens.

Happy Slinging.
