It is our pleasure to announce one more Free Comic Book Day 2010 guest, Mr. Jonathan Hickman! This will be his second visit to Acme and a lot has changed for him since then. Secret Warriors is one of the most uniquely plotted books on the shelves and his run on Fantastic Four is shaping up to be one for the ages, comparable to Byrne's run in quality! If you are not current on any of his material, just let us know and we'll get it in your hands now before they get gone!
