Sure, they have one in the US and now one in the UK, what about Canada...

As I know there are a lot of UK members on Cmon I thought I would share this info:

The US event has come and gone, about a month ago on the 23rd. At the time I never thought to post about it here, sorry.

It\'s the first annual, and it wasn\'t very well advertised. It was set up due to the Success of Free Comic Book Day.

The website is pretty much exactly what you would expect:

Bit of a shame they picked the same day as the Harry Potter book release, kind of drowned out by that.
