Retailer Brian Hibbs joins the show to talk about the world of comic shops. Hibbs discusses the year at his shop, Comix Experience, online stores, different paths to success, the speculator market, what's working at his shop, the major problems facing comics retail right now, Diamond Comic Distributors' issues, serialization, selling single issue comics, product vs. process, his graphic novel clubs, the impact of those, and more.

If you big inspiration in life is to be like the guy who wants to be a marsupial, you might want to re-evaluate those goals. "The Kangaroo" is a Spider-man villain who first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-man" #81. The Brian Hibbs version first appeared in "The Spectacular Spider-man" #244. -- Sponsor: Menace on the road with style!

Print is Irrelevant. Cyclops was Wrong (about Cyclops). Another fun week of DC Comics Final Order Cutoff numbers. What if Marvel made pizzas? Brian Hibbs’ take on the future of DC Comics (read the full column here: https://www.comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-windmills-282-the-end-days-of-dc-comics/) Will the Future State Wonder Woman (Tara Flor) be a sought-after book?

For this week's (sorta-kinda dated) installment of Comix Tawk... Reggie and I take a look at a 10-Point Plan outlined by Brian Hibbs at the 2019 ComicsPRO Meeting, which he felt would keep the industry healthy (or perhaps even make it even healthier/actually healthy!).  So, please spend an hour listening to a couple of guys with zero experience in comics retail, discuss a fella who's been "in the trenches" for decades! The 10-Points we discuss here include: Stop Mixing SKU’s Sales Charts with a “penetration index” – # of accounts purchasing specific SKU’s Abandon “meets or exceeds” thinking Tie variant SKU’s to native base sales (1 variant per 20k sales) Tie variants to percentage of publisher’s line (25%) Shipping information in a box-by-box format, and review discounts and shipping FOC locked no later than noon Fridays, including all aft and information otherwise 100% returnable Every comic should be listed in PREVIEWS, not available only at FOC. Data Summit to determine where and when to assign “Series Codes” First three issues of every new series to be fully returnable from all publishers (including one-shots and mini-series) -- weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com

Commuting between the 2 stores is all new to us. We’re still learning our new routines. Potential changes to Blue’s layout, already. Changes to the way we enforce our subscription rules for 2020. No changes to the way the subscriptions work, but we’re no longer giving any slack. Plenty of computer issues with Diamond. Still. Almost insurmountable changes… we’ll see… How warped the market is for Marvel Comics, with a hat-tip to Brian Hibbs for doing all the research. This upcoming week of comics is H-U-G-E. It is impossible to give every comic coming out the attention it deserves.

Brian Hibbs, owner of Comix Experience in San Francisco breaks down the retailer-creator relationship as we navigate a multi-layered chat about comic books and retail in the digital age.

This is another episode to take notes on for future use. We also delve deep into his monthly Graphic Novel Club (graphicnovelclub.com) as we explore the nature of the comic book store going forward.
