Here's my swag. The action figures I bought, but still got good deals on. We hit five stores along the NH Seacoast, starting at the Maine border and ending at the Massachusetts border.

How'd you guys do?

I picked up Atomic Robo by Red 5 Comics, which also featured a story of NeoZoic. Both are pretty cool.
FCBD Virgin Comics Special - Haven't read it yet.
The 99 Special - Haven't read this yet either.
Maintenance - And... haven't read this yet, too. What can I say, we were traveling all day long.
Also, while I was at the store, I picked up Groo: Hell on Earth 1 - 4, and DC Universe 0. DCU 0 was simply awesome, and now I want to pick up all the Final Crisis stuff.

Damn that was yesterday right, I knew there was a reason I wanted to go to the comic store. Ah well.

Totally. Best thing I picked up. I may have to buy AR when it goes regular, and grab that TPB. Pulp-era-goodness FTW!!

Yeah, gotta agree. Atomic-Robo is teh awesome.
I've now read the 99, which has a really cool, kinda 4400 vibe going for it, plus, it's done from a non-western cultural point of view combined with typical western super-heroics, which I think is pretty cool. Not sure how well it will do over all, but if I had the money to buy comics regularly, I'd pick it up.
And Maintenance is pretty damn funny. It reads more like a web comic, or something I'd pick up in trades, rather than a monthly title, though.
I gotta say, my recent forays into the comic book store have shown me a resurgence in independent titles that are high quality, and this I am liking.

Atomic Robo is awesome, been reading it since it was first released. Not to mention I was messageboard-buddies with Scott Wegener, the artist, when he first started doing it, so that was an incentive to see him do well too.
I bought Maintenance at the NYCC and been reading it steadily in chunks and that's pretty good too.
I don't know if our Free Comic Book Day was this Saturday, or wether it's on Wednesday, when we get our shipping of said free comic books, but I'm tune in if I get anything.
