ICv2.com on Countdown to FCBD

The comics business and news analysis site ICv2.com has a short wrap-up of resources available to retailers as the Free Comic Book Day promotion approaches. This includes one having to do with driving people to a related page on Myspace.com. Free Comic Book Day is a voluntary Direct Market program where companies make a book available at low cost for retailers to have on hand to give out to customers -- ostensibly new ones attracted to the notion of "free" -- and let them see the retail establishment, maybe put it on their radar, perhaps meet a signing cartoonist or two on-hand.
