That is literally the entire point behind Free Comic Book Day. While there is a slight element of just "giving the fans a free gift," that is clearly not the focus (otherwise, it would only be available to those who have already purchased a comic). From a business stand-point the purpose of Free Comic Book Day is to hook potential new consumers. And claiming that you can't possibly get new consumers is just stupid. I'm coming across new additions to our community of BE fans all the god damn time.

Furthermore, that's not an excuse for putting out lackluster product. As Stan Lee once said "treat every comic like its someone's first."

I do appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to both read my rantings and respond to them.
