Bongo comics Free for all FCBD 2012
Bongo Comics Free for all FCBD 2012
Every year on free comic book day Bongo comics puts out a free comic. Most of the time the comic is loaded with great Simpsons stories. Usually it turns out to be one of my favorites of the FCBD choices. Sadly this year it was the worst one I got.
We start off with a great cover of Comic Book Guy dressed up as various geek icons. We start off with a story about the Springfield bear patrol. It is a great funny little story. And sadly it is funnier than the Simpsons TV show has been in years. Up next is a Sergio Aragones story "My first Peso". This story seems to be auto biographical. And of course has great Sergio artwork. Well after that story it is time to flip the book over. WTF Spongebob? I have never been a SpongeBob fan. This side has one fairly long SpongeBob story. Then a one page gag strip. And both of them are pretty shitty. Now I know I didn't have to pay for this. But if I had known in advance that most of the book wasn't gonna be Simpsons stories I doubt I would have gotten it. Bongo Comics Free for all FCBD 2012 gets a C-.
