I went to Free Comic Book Day at my local shop this month, picked up a couple freebies. They also had a buy two graphic novels get one free, so I get a couple more Civil Wars (Fantastic Four & Runaways/Young Avengers) and Matt Fraction's Hawkeye vol 1. My shop also did a clever thing, last year they had a raffle for a $100 gift certificate for like a dollar. This year they put the raffle tickets in bagged copies of the new Amazing Spider-Man #1. Since I was half-interested in that, they made a sale of a comic I otherwise would not have purchased. Clever.

I'm not a giant comic book fan. I have like 6 of the Civil War collections because I thought they sounded interesting, I got AvX because it looked cool. I do really like the MCU tie-in comics and have been trying to collect them also. On the DC side I have Dark Knight Returns and Red Son. Other than that I have a couple Trek and Wars collections, and I started picking up individual issues of the Star Wars ongoing series before I lost interest. Those are my physicals, I also have most of the Star Trek 2009 Ongoing series, and some other Trek comics on Comixology (along with every Marvel #1, thanks to them doing that crazy stunt).

All that to say, the last comic I read was Hawkeye vol 1, and I loved it so very much.
