Over the past three and a half years, the Two Guys with PhDs Talking about Comics have interviewed a variety of artists, writers, editors, publishers, educators, and scholars, but in all this time they have not yet interviewed someone from the retail side of comics culture. Until now. In this episode, Derek talks with Christina Merkler, the co-owner of Discount Comic Book Service, one of the largest online retailers of comics (and, in the spirit of full disclosure, an official sponsor of The Comics Alternative). They begin their conversation with a little background history, Christina describing what it was like when her husband, Cameron, came up with the idea for the business and decided to start with an all-online shop. What began as a small Internet-driven service out of their home in 1999 eventually turned into a brick-and-mortar store, multiple online storefronts, and the growing multi-state operation that it has become today. Christina describes how now, with the DCBS remaining in Fort Wayne, IN, and the InStock Trades warehouse being in Memphis, TN, the Merklers feel like they're all over the place and constantly on the go. But they've no plans to rest on their achievements, and instead, are at work on future growth plans. Derek also asks Christina about the competition they've had over the years, the ins and outs of pricing, their relationship with Diamond Comic Distributors, their attempts at getting into the digital comics business, the decisions that go into their monthly specials, and their strategies for good customer relations. In all, his conversation with Christina is a revealing look at the store-front business side of the medium and the many details of how, literally, the books by the creators the guys discuss every week get into the hands of the readers.  After listening to this interview, be sure to head on over to Discount Comic Book Service and InStock Trades. And when you do, please send them an email and tell them that the Two Guys with PhDs sent you!

Hey, look! It’s a full episode of Comic Timing! This time, Brent and Ian are joined by Gabe Perez, who now wanders around the podcasting world aimlessly after Strangers With Comics stopped coming out. In this episode, you’ll hear a bunch of conversation about the recent tumultuous changes DC Comics has been dealing with, including entire creative teams leaving books before they are even out. Plus, listen to our take on where Comixology might go next; will Comixology’s troubles with downtime lead to a shift in how companies release their digital books? Since this episode was recorded, Marvel reissued their Free 700 Issues offer, but the debate remains valid, as nobody could buy ANY digital books for nearly four full days while their server issues were being resolved. We also do a little general conversation as usual, including Superior Spider-Man and Avenging Spider-Man, Ian’s Brooklyn Public Library woes, the second to last episode of The Walking Dead Season 3, and a bit on The Walking Dead comics now that Ian is 70 or so issues in. Oh, and Gabe’s pipes are now clean. I left that part in because it’s GOLD! As always – we are sponsored by DCBS! That’s right! Discount Comic Book Service!

To ring in this fancy New Year, Brent and Ian are joined by Chad Burdette of the soon to be newly minted podcast, Comic Book Laundry, as well as Jim Dietz of Legion of Dudes and Nothing’s On for our annual Year-End wrap-up episode! This year’s questions to be answered by the panel are as follows: If you would have told me in 2011 I’d be reading ________ in 2012, I would have called you a liar. I had such high hopes for _________, but now my dreams have been shattered by how bad it was. Seriously, I’m in tears. Of all the Marvel NOW! titles, _________ blew me away. It’s a shame ________ couldn’t have been this good. Thank you 2012 for giving me _______. Best new title around, period. When they canceled __________, I was incredibly annoyed. When they canceled ___________, I danced for joy. The team of __________ and __________ were the writer/artist team of 2012, without a doubt.  __________ was a miniseries/maxiseries that told a complete story even though it only had a few issues to do it with. Penciler of the year has to be __________. Those pages were so damn pretty. Gotta give the independent comics some love! I do so here, as I name ____________ my indie pick of 2012. The collected edition (or OGN) of ___________ was completely worth the price. ____________, not so much. Continuing from last year, __________ was the New 52 title of 2012. However, I did drop _________ as it couldn’t keep my interest enough to be saved. I wish I had the writing talent of _________. 2012 was his/her year. Out of all the events in 2012, ___________ was the one that hooked me, line and sinker. If I had to choose a publisher of the year, the honor goes to ____________.

Out of all the creators out there, artist or writer, you could say that ___________ had the best year. _____________ was the character of 2012. Who knew? Going into 2013, I am looking forward to _____________ the most out of Marvel. DC’s ________ has me pumped for 2013!
