They work fine on my computer.
They are gorgeous pages! Camilla D'Errico is awesome at fantasy stuff and Ted McKeever's comic is filled with my kind of wordplay!
We get these for free?! Best FCBD EVER! |

| weird. I'll try again at home. I can usually see everything here at work. I copy and pasted the links and everything. I went reading around on other sites about Gold Member stuff for FCBD. I would like to have seen more mentioned about this book. The big 2 and the Liscenced properties are getting a lot of the press. |

I can't see the first three either at home. 
But I'm sure they are as awesome as the last three are. This book looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to get it.  |

That was because we missed the deadline on the cover (Mike and Laura were ill), hence the press release.
Any and everyone is invited to spread this around.

I am excited about this for FCBD and the ultimate release. I usually take one of my daughters will me on FCBD and this is great to get them something other than the normal DC Kids filler comic.
Thanks
