I'll probably pick up The Simpsons comic and Fantagraphics is doing a book of rare Peanuts comic strips.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I'm bummed that Dark Horse isn't doing a Star Wars book this year.

Last year DCBService sent me everything but the Stargate action figure.
This year I suspect the same will be the case.

I've been using DCBS for the last 6 months and I'm glad to hear that last year they included the free comics. I still plan on stopping by my local store since they have a really nice TPB sale, plus I'll probably pick up a free Disney comic for the little one.

Lord knows I don't need to be tempted by new books. I need to crack my habit in half, easy. An intervention to get down to $50 per month would be good.

Discount Comic Book Service (mail order/web)
They offer 40% off cover for most new books. Occassionally they'll do 50% or 75% for special issues (#1's usually) or 35% if it's a true independent.
Near as I can tell, most HC and SC trades are 50% also.

I've been using them for a year and find their customer service to be top notch.

Yea it's a great service. I've been using them for about 6 months and completely love it. The website can be a little finicky from time to time but the service has always been outstanding.

Does anyone have any get any extras of the Family Guy comic that they would be willing to send to me? All of the local comic book stores in my area ran out of that one before I arrived.

Jeff, if you got the sets released last year/this year, the FCBD issue was merely a segment of one of those. Not an original story.
