I shouldn't have to tell you that tomorrow is probably the greatest day of the year for those of us in a loving, yet tempestuous relationship with comic books (FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!), but unfortunately my job requires me to make the announcement. Which means, you need to prepare yourself mentally for the onslaught of people jamming into your favorite comic book shop (if they are participating in the festivities).
So, your best bet to counteract your crowd phobia, is probably mainlining Red Bull and Valium to get a head start on dulling the pain of getting your ass possibly kicked by eleven year-old boys and girls grabbing various free issues of comics, while you are shunted face first into a corner where there's a good chance you'll be sobbing uncontrollably (I'm here for you).
Now, if you're in the loop and you know what to expect, great, but if you're new to the game (or have a kid starting to get interested in comics) this is one of those great experiences that will either get you excited about comics or, more than likely, scare you away, depending on the crowd.
Either way, it's terrific.

And, after the break, is a great little info video for the N00bs.
Now, go forth and grab some comics!
