Pop down to your local participating comic store and grab some free stuff. Even better, go and get free stuff and give it to your kids/nephew/niece/etc (or drag them down there), as the whole purpose of the day is to introduce more people to comics and comic book stores.

If you're in the SF Bay area I highly recommend Flying Colors Comics in Concord, the inventors of Free Comic Book Day!
If you're in the Austin area, my preference is Austin Books and Comics, they do a really good job on FCBD!

A year ago, I went to the official Free Comic Book Day at that comic shop. Half the employees still know me by name despite my infrequent appearances. I declined the usual stack of FCBD freebies because none of them interested me, so the guy handing out the comics reached to another stack, which was just random older comics that they were also giving away for the heck of it. Even though I never did a pull list, he kind of knew my taste in comics, and gave me a random issue of Sandman Mystery Theatre. I was touched by the gesture, but here it is one year later and I haven't even read it yet. But I'm going to force myself to go tomorrow, not for the free comics, but in hopes of running into old friends and acquaintances.

The problem I have is that 90% of the stuff for adults is ordinary, but the 10% that is decent always seems to have strings attached (eg issue 0, series proper starting in 4 months time and I will have forgotten about it then).

My shop had give out of the adult stuff before we could get there, but they still had kid packs so River and Scarlett hit the jackpot. River was stoked to get the Batman/Teen Titans thing and "Amazin' Turtles" (what he calls TMNT), Scarlett's been carrying around the Sesame Street/Strawberry Shortcake split all day.
And of the first time in my entire life, an Archie book has wound up in my house.
Yay comics.
