Off-the-cuff commentary from owners, managers and employees of a retail comic book store. We’re trying to give fans of the medium we love so much a view of the business from the other side of the counter. Some caveats: 1) Nothing we say here is necessarily universal. Every shop does things their own way, of course. These posts reflect the writers’ experiences. 2) This column is written for and by comic book nerds. Please know that nothing in here is intended to be mean-spirited. But we want to present an honest and open view from our side and to do so we need to, well, tell it like it is. Enjoy!
