They flip through notable giveaways and previews, including Spider-Man, \u201cKing in Black/Queen in Black\u201d tie-in, Avatar Legends, DC\u2019s Next Level sampler, Avengers: Armageddon, and various all-ages and licensed titles. They debate whether publishers should return to more original, collectible FCBD-style content rather than mostly previews and samplers, citing past examples like Firepower\u2019s launch and the Vertigo preview with exclusive Sandman pages. They also highlight interest in Vault\u2019s Dungeon Crawler Carl sampler and discuss its premise and rising popularity.\r\n\r\n00:00 Free Comic Book Day Basics\r\n00:58 Giveaway Day and Store Deals\r\n03:07 Originals vs Samplers Debate\r\n06:56 Superman Day and Retailer Tips\r\n08:48 This Year\u2019s Picks Spider Man\r\n09:35 Kids Comics and Brony Talk\r\n11:28 Convention Tangents Furries\r\n14:04 More Freebie Highlights\r\n17:04 Dungeon Crawler Carl Explained\r\n20:43 Dungeon Crawler Carl Buzz\r\n22:14 Grassroots Success Story\r\n24:03 Bingeing Audiobooks Stats\r\n24:52 Great Narrators and Full Cast\r\n26:54 When Audiobooks Miss the Mark\r\n29:56 Will Wheaton and Patrick Stewart\r\n31:15 Back to Free Comic Book Day\r\n32:11 DC Absolute Universe Talk\r\n36:04 Dreaming Up Absolute Constantine\r\n37:17 Free Comic Book Day Sendoff","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/321a2c33-a865-4fd1-a4f9-a3b8c96e1c14/Multiverse-Podcast-Cover-1.png"}
