Mark your calanders! AWESOME news for all Transformers fans in the upper midwest, especially those in Minnesota! One of the larger comic/hobby shops in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) area, Shinder's (where I buy my TF comics) is getting ready to host their "FCBD" (that's Free Comic Book Day)! As part of the event, they schedule comics talent to sign autographs and answer questions. They have secured none other, than TF comic great DON FIGUEROA! Too good to be true! Don's very popular work includes the current Beast Wars series from IDW. As well, he co-developed the original "War Within" series with Simon Furman, and has worked on just about every TF comic series in the last 5 years...

So, if you don't want to wait in a mile long line for his autograph at Botcon, make a trip to Shinders! The event(s) will be held at multiple store locations on Saturday May 6th. We'll provide additional details (exact times/locations) as they become available. Thanks to Ben Zwolinski of Shinders for the info!
