The perception of Challengers to the non-comics population. Apparently we are a business for neighbors to be warned about.
The ComicsPRO Annual Meeting is happening right now, and we’re not there! But retailers and publishers alike are making plans to save the industry, so let’s talk about that!

It seems Marvel trade paperback collections CAN be made better and less expensive… but they’re not.
Aside from a little warping, the Kaijumax Deluxe Hardcover is an amazing achievement in deluxe collectibles. Everything we ever wanted and more we didn’t even know we needed!
