Acme E-Mail Update #84: FCBD 2010 is Forming!

Congratulations to Charles Ivey on winning the 2009 Acme Comics Customer of the Year Award! Chuck makes every effort to stop by the store on Wednesday and get the newest Green Lantern books, delves into the back issues boxes whenever Geoff Johns drops a breadcrumb clue in a new interview, and most importantly he always shares everything that he's discovered with his fellow Acme customers on the store message board!

This week we also announced our initial plans for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2010!!! We're extremely happy to welcome back
Chris Samnee (Siege: Embedded), Jeremy Dale (G.I. Joe), and Michael Watkins (Sonic the Hedgehog) while welcoming for the first time Jeff Parker (Agents of Atlas) and Christos Gage (Avengers the Initiative)! We'll surely have more news in the 109 days to come before FCBD2010, but for now please check out the event page for some of the offerings and bios of the visiting creators!  Make plans to be in town the weekend of May 1st!
