- Are all the comic books free? (This can also be accompanied with a "HURF DURF. HURRR. I FUNNY. LOOK AT ME BEING FUNNY," but not always.)
- Hey, can I have this [INSERT NAME OF COMIC PULLED FROM NEW RELEASE WALL] for free?
- My kid just ripped this comic he pulled off the wall. Does that mean it's free?
- Why would anyone do this? What's the catch?
- Did you see Iron Man yet, comic shop owner that's probably been busy setting up for Free Comic Book Day? No? OK, well I'm going to spoil it for you in its entirety!
- Wow, you must be desperate for business if you're giving away stuff...
To the retailers out there: stand strong and play through the pain. You might get an extra customer or two out of your efforts. To the regular customers that are visiting and picking up free books: why don't your call your guy up on the way in and see if he can use some pizza, soda, or black tar heroin to help him make it through the day?
