Women’s Comics Night
After years of thinking Challengers didn’t need a women-specific comic-themed meet-up, Samantha Challenger proves us so very wrong.
The ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of this type of event.
The short-term and long-term goals of the night.
Plans for the next meet-up.
And, Samantha lists her current favorite Manga graphic novels, pro wrestlers and current comic series, and we completely missed the boat by not having her mention her favorite drag queens!
We do great with all-ages comics, but what about the Young Adult market?
Patrick is worried about the snow affecting business during the yearly sale. Dal is not.

This episode has very little editing to show you what these conversations really sound like.
We think there are too many Infinity Countdown-related books in Marvel’s immediate future.

So many movie and TV show trailers were released this week.
January sales were way down.

Big changes at Valiant this week.

SO many February events!
Picking up the crumbs, with fellow retailer Brian Hibbs.
Misconfigured microphone settings can’t keep us from talking to one of our favorite comics retailers, BRIAN HIBBS of Comix Experience in San Francisco!
Brian’s been in the comics industry longer than we have, and his insight is invaluable.
Looking at the state of the industry vs. the quality of today’s product.
Comix Experience has an amazing graphic novel club.
You will not believe what Brian’s favorite comic book is… let’s just say Dal was ecstatic.
What did we get in the mail? It rhymes with “cocaine.”
You will not believe what came in Saturday’s mail.
The 1990’s X-Men cartoon is responsible for getting so many people interested in comic books.
Marvel putting out 4 new Wolverine-adjacent mini-series strikes us as a bad idea.
DC’s Action Comics #1000 strikes us a s a good idea.
Dan Slott is leaving Spider-Man for Iron Man, and Marvel signed Kelly Thompson to an exclusive contract. We like both of those ideas.
Dal really wants a Jane Foster Thunderstrike book.
