Contest of Challengers

Let’s charge 3x the cover price for all comics! Lucky Penny is awesome! So is Deadpool! The tip of the Toy Fair iceberg! The post office stole my Deadpool art!

Patrick’s notes for this episode read, “Podcasting, 360°, Classic Comics Journalism, ‘The Last Mile,’ How Amazon Works, The Cost of Doing Business.”

Oh Indy Comics, why you be frontin? A new layout for Challengers? More?

DC Rebirth. What is it? Do we even care? Dal has lots of thoughts.

For not having a plan for this week’s episode, it sure gets away from us and is extra-long. Personal collections are discussed as is Civil War II, a new club sign-up form, and the Power Rangers.

Patrick has a list of notes this week! Too many to mention here. And, 2015’s best-selling single issues.

Marvel wanted retailers to hold back 7 books this week. 2015’s best-selling graphic novels. That’s the bulk of it, right there.

FULL OF MOVIE SPOILERS! Recorded just after we saw Star Wars The Force Awakens, but held back until more people had the chance to see it. Since then, Dal has seen it 4 times and Patrick, twice. Happy…

We open gifts! We talk 2015 sales vs 2014 sales and DC’s upcoming accelerated shipping plan. Also we really like Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat #1. Happy New Year.

New computers and operating systems. “Fun” customer interactions. How DCYou and All-New All-Different Marvel are faring across the country. Merry Christmas.

This one feels like it’s half movies/half comics.

Gift-giving graphic novels (hooray for alliteration!!), The Vision, Harley, Robin War, Local Spotlight Saturdays, alphabetized Graphic Novels, new computer, Comixology woes. And more.

Our final 2015 Local Comic Shop Day podcast. Trust us; we’re just as relieved as you.

Marvel’s latest Netflix show ALIAS is really good!

We have a Patreon… just sayin.’ We talk about a bunch of New Comics and Local Comic Shop Day. And other stuff.

Marvel is taking a beating in the comics press. We will not have a Batman/TMNT exclusive cover. No-New, All-Similar Marvel readers. New club member emails. All that and a CM Punk cameo.

This episode is kind of ‘more of the same’ only looking thru a sharper lens. More All-New All-Different Marvel talk. More variant cover talk. And then Dal gets really, really mad. Really mad.

Eliza Frye joins Patrick to talk about the New York Comiccon, KickStarter fulfillment and to get pelted with Cheerios.

Doesn’t ANYONE read Dal’s blog?
