Are they giving them away to anyone?

I like how brutal the townsend covers are.

From what the article said, it seems like the 60000 comics will be dished out as the individual comic book owners see fit. They'll have roughly 250 a piece to give out.

That's pretty cool. I'm assuming you meant comic shop owners though. I can't imagine they'd send out 250 comics to random comic book owners.

Yeah, direct distribution only, not sure what that means. But the owners are being told that get those that aren't reading into reading by giving them a free book.

Sweet. Too bad I don't live that close to any comic shops.

I went to Texarkana (where the nearest comic shop to me is) yesterday and it was an 152 mile round trip.

I live far enough out in the country that the only kinds of internet service I can get is dialup or satellite.

That stinks. I probably couldn't handle living away from the city, but that's good you can, especially if gas is cheaper.

I don't have internet at all at home. I just use the internet at work.

Although I'm not supposed to, my account has the same powers as an administrator account. The IT guy got tired of having to install things for me when I got a new computer, so he gave me all privileges and never took them back.

Plus, he gave me the administrator password, so if he ever does remove my privileges I can still log on as an administrator.
