My monthly DCBS shipment arrived on Free Comic Book Day after I returned from my favorite LCS. So Saturday was a good day... This list includes the books I picked up at the LCS (freebies + some back issues) as well as my recent order from DCBS.

What do you guys do first when you get your books?
Read and bag them? Organize them? Wonder how you missed ordering a particular an issue? Enter the books into ComicBookDB? Enter your "free" Marvel digital codes into the "redeem" box at https://marvel.com/redeem/ ?
I stack them in a somewhat preferred reading order. Then, as I read them I bag them. I use to review the art work by flipping through the comic from the last page to the from page. Now I tend avoid as many spoilers as possible. Intend to not enter codes until some later time. I feel like I am devalueing or destroying the book by pulling off the code sticker. I hear comics will be worth something some day...
#1 I check my order to make sure I have them all. #2 I enter them into my collection at ComicBookDB.com #3 I put them in stacks of a reading order, making sure they are all properly bagged. #4 For the Marvel issues. I go ahead and enter the digital codes and box the books. Once I have a set/arc, I decide if I want to ebay them (keeping the digital codes). Stopped worrying about value of the codes when they started expiring on me... #5 I continue to get behind in my reading.
I realize the value of the code and the tiny black and read paper I lift to read the code are meaningless. However, years of collecting have made this spoiling of a perfect (or NM) comic a difficult thing to do. I know it means nothing, yet it bothers me.
Mine's simple. I crack open my order, tell myself I'm going to read everything I just received in the next couple of days, then get distracted by the growing number of back issues and trades I buy every time I go out.
Must. Stop. Reading. Dazzler. And. Catch. Up. On. Sinestro. @-)
I got the original series omnibus and Rogue One omnibus for $5 each. Nearly 1000 pages of Star Wars comic goodness for $10. May the Fouth be with you indeed!
I picked up the Simpsons, Savage Dragon Legacy (I haven't read SD in years), Sonic/Mega Man, Attack on Titan (I want to see what the buzz is all about), Convergence, Avengers, and Secret Wars #0.
I made a casual stop into a comic shop on my way to a get-together with some friends (to go to the Avengers movie later that evening) and discovered that they had set up tables of boxes of comics that they were giving away FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!
My collector's brain just blew up.
I could only walk away with an armful, but I did manage to get a nearly complete set of Infinity Inc, including the annuals. Plus all of this year's premiums.
(The boxes of comics, I should add, were all donated by local fans who were clearing out their personal collections and thought this might be helpful for the FBCD event. Kudos to them and to the store's owners for this. Bless them all! For the record, this is The Dreaming, located in Seattle's University District.)

How was A-Force? I've been digging G. Willow Wilson on Ms. Marvel and I do love me some Dazzler, so this might be something I have to check out.
Jem 3 (really, for my wife) Convergence 7 (I'm not totally sure why) Archie vs. PREDATOR 2 Ultimate End 1 Swamp Thing (sophisticated suspense) 24 & 42 Secret Warriors Omnibus (I cannot wait to ignore my famliy for several evenings, stay up late, and be crappy at work)
Swung by my local Costco (Costco!?) to buy some groceries and a 55 gallon of mayo (it's the smallest they got!), saw and picked up DK's Marvel and DC Encyclopedias Updated and Expanded for $25 each. I feel a Muddle the Murd may be coming.

Now... What order should I read them? Tough decision.
Convergence 6
Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment
Daredevil 175
Animal Man 5 (Morrison) Read Secret Wars last. If you read it first, the other will seem inferior (and yes, I love Saga).
All three were great. Best weeks worth of comics in a while.
Good way to close out Thor with the reveal.
I thought the last page of Saga was stunning.
Secret Wars... Wow. Role on #3!
A-Force #1 (Jim Cheung Regular Cover) I need my She-Hulk & Dazzler fix
Star Wars #5 (John Cassaday Regular Cover)
