Comics Shop Tok Comics retailers are stepping out from behind the counter and in front of the camera as business booms

I wrote a piece for @publisherswkly.bsky.social about how comics retailers have turned into influencers and YouTubers to promote comics, their shops and community

Discussion of Watchmen is dominated by the thoughts and feelings of male writers, so @shelfdust.bsky.social paid 12 female and non-binary writers to talk about each issue of the serial instead: shelfdust.com/tag/we-watch...

This is a great read. Comic shop folks are the best folks.

of course man!

I’ve suspected this for a while, so I’m happy to see the Absolute books are connecting with younger readers in a significant way. Great reporting here, @zackquaintance.bsky.social! Also, congrats to @ssnyder1835.bsky.social and everyone at @dc.com for all their hard work on the Absolute line! 🎉

Thanks, John!
