Free Comic Day 2008, Etc

There's no way of getting around it: this is both an incredibly slow week for new comics releases, and also an incredibly busy week... just not until the weekend. This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day 2008 (when all manner of books are released for the price of zero dollars exactly in the hope of luring new readers into stores to be tempted by much more expensive items) but I'll wait until Friday before I tell you what you should be picking up for that. But everyone's preparing for Saturday, because what's appearing in stores tomorrow? It kind of sucks.


That's not entirely true, of course; there's the new Fables collection, Wolves - but that series, based around what happens after the "happily ever after" at the end of all fairy tales (Here's a clue: Brutal war, New York and marriage, but not necessarily in that order), lacks pretty much any kind of science fiction element that'd let me claim it as part of the io9 mission statement.
