We\u2019re always trying to bring new folks through our doors, and while FCBD and legions of cheap giveaway comics are certainly helpful in that regard, I don\u2019t really think they\u2019re the only weapon in our arsenal, so to speak. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Me, talking about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicbookdaily.com\/wp\/championing_comics\/retailer-q\/retailer-q-2-free-comic-book-day\/\">Free Comic Book Day at ComicBookDaily<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been doing some other writing too, but more on that when it&#8217;s ready. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Chris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve appeared on a few other websites, again: &#8220;It\u2019s kinda hard to root for a guy who thinks he\u2019s the underdog but is in reality a good-looking fighter pilot with a smoking-hot girlfriend, great support network of friends, amazing apartment (exposed steel beams!) \u2026 oh, and a magical wishing ring.&#8221; &#8211; Me, talking about the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/comics212.net\/?p=7239\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Green Lantern &#038; Free Comic Book Day Musings&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comics-retailing","category-superheroes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7240,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239\/revisions\/7240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comics212.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
