Wednesday’s Podcast Thoughts

The ones that I get the most feedback from are the ones where we talk about recent books that we have enjoyed, so let’s go with that again for this week.  Bring thoughts (or pages of notes, Joe) about something you have liked recently, be it an issue, storyline or graphic novel. On the flip […]

Pittsburgh Comics Podcast Episode #15

August 2011 Previews Discussion This time we made it through all of the front of the book companies (Dark Horse, DC, IDW, Image & Marvel).  The idea is to give you an idea of what I, as a retailer, look at, with some input from customers.  I will try to do a separate podcast about […]
