November 12th, 2009 · No Comments

On November 7, the Chicago Humanities Festival held a panel on the decline and death of alternative comic strips.  That is to say, the weekly comic strips that appear in alternative weekly papers like the Chicago Reader, the Village Voice and so forth.  Or, more to the point, don’t appear any [...]

October 29th, 2009 · No Comments

You may be startled to learn that Marvel Comics are now available for download in the United States.  Of course, if you’ve been following my coverage of this, you’d have read about Marvel’s European cell phone download experiment on October 22, 2008.  Turns out when I projected a U.S. download debut [...]

Is Wizard Rebranding?

October 19th, 2009 · No Comments

On the convention side, two things have happened.  First, Wizard has started rebranding [...]

The New Economics of Comic Convention Shopping

August 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I’m just taking it for granted that if you’re reading this, you’ve also read some of the dealer reports from the 2009 comic convention season.  By the sounds of it, high end back issues are out and clearance sale pricing is in.  The thing is, the prices are getting slashed so low in some cases, [...]

August 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Wizard World Chicago (AKA The Chicago Comic-Con) continued to be a strange creature on Saturday and Sunday.  You might go so far as to say it was a different show each day.  I might not argue too much with that.
Saturday was a bit of a revelation.

Friday at Chicago Comic-Con (Wizard World) 2009

August 8th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Wizard World Chicago (a.k.a. The Chicago Comic-Con, though the digital sign outside the convention center still said Wizard) is a strange, strange bag.  I’m not completely sure what to make of it.  Some people seemed to think it was a smaller Friday than last year, some people think it’s about [...]

SDCC Dealer Woes – New or Did the Trend Finally Reach San Diego

August 1st, 2009 · No Comments

The last few years there’s been an annual ritual after the San Diego Comic Con to decry how the media has taken the show away from comics and, increasingly, how terrible it is for the dealers.  The big snarkfest kicking this off came from Mile High’s Chuck Rozanski (and strangely, Rozanski’s rant [...]

The Ultimate Blackest Night Promotion

July 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Sometimes you can take a sales promotion too seriously.  I walked into Chicago Comics and the store was dark.  There were a couple lights strapped to one of the front tables, but the overhead lights were out.  I was figuring either this was a promotion for the Blackest Night series that came [...]

Continuing the Comics / Graphic Novels in Libraries Discussion

July 14th, 2009 · No Comments

In this week’s Publisher’s Weekly Comics Week, I took a look at what the library market for graphic novels looks like. One of the things I found is that if you want to estimate the number of graphic novels in the library system, multiplying the number of libraries carrying a title by 3 is going [...]
