In many ways, I've been working on this project for years. The response has been wonderful.
Big news from New York Comic Con! During Prana's presentation at the inaugural Retailer Day, Adam Freeman and Stephanie Gerk just unveiled an exciting new way to measure comic shop data we're receiving from our new partnership with Manage Comics: the Fan Confidence Rating (FCR).

This data from Prana looks to be an important tool for retailers and publishers to see what's hitting with consumers...information that the industry desperately needs. #retailerday #NYCC

So proud and excited for @AtomBangFreeman and bummed that I don't get to keep making comics with my friend. For the first time in 12 years, Atom! and I aren't on the phone 20 times a day trying to push a comic shaped boulder up a hill. I find myself calling random people and

I'm curious to see if we can get a total amount of delinquents by the end of the day.

Comics Retailers! Indulge my curiosity on something? Go to your pullboxes (pulls, subs, whatever you call them), pull out the largest delinquent stack you have, take a picture and post it here or tag me in the post. Give the total retail value of the stack in the post.

Hard agree. The value of a publisher to the creator is the audience and infrastructure they bring. If you are relying on the creator for this, why do they need you?
Here’s the thing. Creating comics & marketing them are two different skillsets. Some can do both & a creator will be the best person to promo their book bc of their passion. But relying on them solely for promo in the marketing plan isn’t a plan. It’s a tool. Use multiple tools.
