@penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social thank you so much for taking what should have been a huge release for my store tomorrow with Marvel Midnight and putting your touch on it. It’s amazing how much we can rely on you to damage almost all of our books. Marvel needs to dump you now.

Marvel really needs to get on the ball with these compact comics. Every FOC it seems like DC has 3 new ones coming out and marvel has like 5 planned for all of next year so far and the first new one after Spiderman Brand Nee Day doesn’t come out until March of 2027. Silly!

@marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social This my 20 bag display box. Doesn’t look super premium to me. The Nakayama cover and the Artgerm are amazing. But 4 of one cover twice is silly. Just seems like the box of 20 would have went further than just buying 20 blind bags. Just disappointed in all the doubles

Online Comic Book Store exclusive covers are a big reason ratio variants are dying. At our shop we used to be able to get a decent amount of money for 1:25, 1:50 and 1:100 variants. Now I’m typically pricing 1:25 covers at $7.99 which sucks because the standard price of most comics are near that.

I don’t know how yinz make this better and better but somehow you do. This is a must have and I can’t wait to take mine home and reread everything again.

Is there anywhere in this country that is safe from Data Centers? And please don’t say my mother in laws cause I’d rather pay the high electric costs.

Friday night I performed my first standup set at a charity benefit by Slapstick Productions for the Special Olympics. I had an amazing time. I got to meet some wonderful comedians and some amazing people. Oh, I also signed a shoe. I can’t wait to keep seeing where this road takes me.

@davidnakayama.bsky.social I just met your brother today. Im one of the managers at New Dimension Comics in Pittsburgh PA. He’s an awesome guy and he agrees with me that we need to get you here for a signing. If you’re ever in the area visiting we would love to have you here.

My first standup gig Friday 4/17 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Uniontown at 7pm. I was told it helps to picture everyone in their underwear. But if everyone could just wear only that it would help me. I’m a visual guy. If I can see it I can visualize it. See what everyone has to look forward to 😂

I’m sorry but Absolute Batman is not a good book. It sells well so as a shop manager I’m happy about that but it’s not good. Absolute Wonder Woman is tops for me easily.

@penguinsnhl.bsky.social If you’re playing the stars and doing a promotional night why isn’t the world would you do Cowboy Night with country music. Let’s just make them feel right at home. Free Dallas Jerseys for everyone too while we’re at it. Who is in charge of this & who gave it the final ok?

Lost my pup Link yesterday. My wife & I are completely heartbroken. He was loved by so any people whether it be family or strangers. He was known throughout our neighborhood. For 14 years I loved him, played with him, went on adventures & even lay next to him when he was sick. He will be missed 😭

Wooo, this arrived! It’s out by March, but I couldn’t be happier for this already exciting. Different editions for different readers in different formats it’s something I firmly believe in, so this is something I was looking for, and this looks really cute. @dc.com @tomtaylormade.bsky.social

As one of the managers of a comic shop I can tell you that the issues with the Ultimate Endgame #1 are upsetting but not shocking. Penguin Random House has struggled with damages since Marvel left Diamond and joined them. It blows my mind that it’s still an issue after all this time. FIX IT!

@awitter.bsky.social let me tell you when I found out about this I yelled “Yessss” in my shop. I’m so excited for this cover. I hope you and your family are well. Thank you again!

Have we figured out who makes the air pumps at gas stations cause it has to be one company. No way more than one company makes broken air pumps. Just way too big of a coincidence.
