So, I haven’t gotten a chance to talk about Secret Invasion #2 yet (because, let’s face it…. after #1 it was kind of a let down) because with summer coming up, we’ve hit promotion season at ye olde store. So this means heading out to events like the Santa Barbara Social Game Night to talk about the kind of games we sell at our store and demo something a little more different than your average board game, putting up a booth at the nearby university to promote the store with leftover free comics and a fine selection of the kind of floppies the college kids can dig, just generally getting the word out which is one of the best things about this little medium of ours.
I like comics and I like telling people I like comics. I like getting people to like comics with me. it’s all part of the show, you know. So why I may not be on the snap or judgments of late, know that I’m doing my part. And reading comments.
This is what I recommend to folks who’ve come out of the Iron man movie and just so happen to make it to the comic shop. Believe it or not, we actually sold four Iron Man: Extremis TPs the weekend Iron man came out which I will consider a huge success. Since it’s newer, the tech updated as only Warren Ellis can provide and the art something special, it’s probably the better TP to siggest because it serves as a gateway to the current Iron Man and can keep people hip. The of course, two all new series: one is an ongoing and the other a mini for those people who ‘don’t want to get into comics per se’.
My job, ladies and gents.
