Comic store people
Comic store stories!
Today, I interacted with two comic store employees I like and talk to, at two different comic stores-
One of who is also a writer, who just had the first issue of his comic, Zodiac Star Force, come out this week from Dark Horse! It's a magic-girl comic, and previously I'd picked up a prototype form of it they'd self-put-out. Anyway, first issue is good, I recommend snagging it ^^ And I forgot to get mine signed!
Second, Jay, at my nearest store (mostly a game store so I only get my subscriptions there, but he handles comics), alas, is having his last day because he's moving from the area! So I bid him farewell, and we talked Kory Bing/Skin Deep (someone who he's a biiig fan of, which I discovered when I wore my Skin Deep necklace into the shop once, and who I'm getting a Pacific Rim commission from), and Pacific Rim (which he's also a big fan of!). Stuff like the worldbuilding, how cool the Russians are, and that he almost stood up and cheered at the not-kiss at the end ^^ In the past we'd talked lots of comics ('specially Transformers, but also Sonic and how the latest crossover included cameos from his favorite video game), related industry stuff like sales, proper portrayal of Wonder Woman, and all kinds of stuff. So, I'll miss our conversations. I also put the upcoming Pacific Rim comic on my pull list, a job he naturally passed on to the new guy ^^ Bye Jay, I wish you luck in your new home!
