    "But it seems pretty clear that in the war for people’s attention, everyone involved in producing and selling games and comics needs to recognize that strange as it may seem, their competition is… everything."...yeah, doesn't get more real than that.

    Really weird, but I've used Instocktrades for all my TPB/HC shopping since 2013.

    They release books 3pm EST every Tues for the week.

    Ever since COVID, the buying window timing for getting some books is getting crazy. This week's Wolverine Omni New printing sold out quick. The DM cover sold out in like 30min and standard cover sold out later that day. Cloak and Dagger Omni's DM cover sold out in hours. That's never happened with Marvel books. Usually sits there at least for a week.

    The general trend has been less open data about sales/profitability on media across TV and movies, and comic books have exactly been that open. Despite what people think, no one has really known what’s selling or not conclusively in a while. And what is successful or not has definitely changed.

    That’s a long way to basically shrug my shoulders at the news.
