    Eh, in all seriousness, I'd maybe consider grabbing the Secret Wars one or the "top secret" DC one.

    Remember- FCBD is not for us. It is primarily to get people who may have never been to an LCS, or haven't been in awhile, into one.

    So, from that point if view, I'm excited that there look to be a lot of quality kid friendly books, books with a hook to other media, as well as the kick off to an event book by a strong creative team at Marvel that might get someone interested to come back to the shop for the next issue.

    (And maybe the same sort of thing from DC, we'll see).

    So even if the offerings so far aren't that exciting for me to get in a DCBS shipment, I'm not the point.

    But I am excited that on FCBD I can take my daughter into a shop, a tradition for us now, and there are books aimed at her. And I'm excited that there may be some quality work for older readers in case someone curious comes in, too.

    I'm kind of curious about all of them but the one I am most excited about is the Doctor Who free comic.

    I don't think there will ever be a Free Comic Book Day I'm not excited for. I still remember my first experience with one in the early 2000's and the Star Wars comic I got from it. It's been a tradition for me ever since and I hope I never become a jaded enough comics reader to not appreciate free stuff when it's placed in my hand.

    I'll get the DC and Marvel ones as a matter of course. I'll also get the Bongo one, they're always really good fun.

    More interested in the Silver ones usually and will always get the Atomic Robo book from Red 5 Comics. Action Science = awesome.
