I just finished re-reading the entire Sandman series over the last 2 weeks.  I grabbed the first volume one day just looking for something to read during my sons drum lesson.  It had been a while since I had read it and none of it was fresh in my mind.  Man, what a read. I […]

I was contacted this week by Games Workshop about carrying Warhammer in the store.  I had looked at it when I first opened, but the investment and space requirement were more than I could afford. I have more room now and they have lowered the amount of product I have to carry. I am considering […]

I was looking over the March comic sales on ICv2 this morning and I was stunned by the low sales.  The #2 book was in the 70,000s.  What is going on?  The former cancelation line of 10,000 unites (for Marvel and DC) hit at #193.  #300 only sold 4500 copies.  These numbers seem really low. […]

My first customer today asked me how Marvel sales compared to DC sales for me.  So, for the first time ever, I ran a sales report based by Publisher.  And here are the results, Year-To-Date: Marvel – 25.61% DC – 24.22% Not really that big of a difference.  Here are some other notables: Archie – […]

There has been a lot of talk about Digital Comics lately.  At least there was a lot of talk about it at the ComicsPRO meeting in Dallas.  Recently there was a poll on a retailer site about it.  I was going to go into a long answer there, but I figured it was better to […]

Looking over my top GN sales for 2010, I noticed something very interesting. Of the Top 50, 6 are Marvel.  And 4 of those are only in the Top 50 because of ties.  Most are in the 60 – 70 range.  And the 2 that are in the actual Top 50?  Kick Ass and the […]

I read Brian Hibbs posts at Comix Experience about 2010 and wanted to compare my numbers.  I really can’t do a fair comparison across all product lines, because I don’t track back issues individually and some card packs go under Cards and some go under Games.  But I will give you my Top 50 Comics […]

So this is the first line on my invoice for next week: DAY EARLY DELIVERY COMPLIANCE FUND (NET) $4.00 Oh, happy day.  What does this mean?  It means that, starting next week, the books will be arriving on TUESDAYS! Now, don’t get too excited.  I will not be selling them on Tuesdays.  That is actually […]

First off, thanks for making 2010 another successful year for me. For me, 2010 was a crazy year. Most of it is actually a blur.  These last 4 months certainly drowned out the first 8.  I do remember Free Comic Book Day being a hoot, but beyond that not so much. As you all know, […]
