Definitely. I can't tell you how much money my store alone (B&N) is now pulling in graphic novel wise. 3x higher than what it was a little over a year ago.

Wish I had a B&N like this here...everytime I go by there the TPB section gets a little smaller...(and the Manga section is 3X what it used to be)

That's because I worked my ass off to make my store one people seek out for books. When I acquired the section a year and a half or so ago, it was a sad site.

Want to transfer?
EDIT
Forgot to mention that they dont even put the Marvel digest books with the Manga stuff...they a BURY them between the big trades..(sometimes behind them)..drive me nuts! |
Actually, I'm trying to get OUT of retail all together. And, I have a recommends bay of my own in which I can put whatever the hell I want. Thus, the digests go on the top shelf so everyone can see them. I love my bay though. Right now, I've got a shelf of Avengers books, a shelf of Bendis goodness (yeah, I'm very biased), and then a shelf of Kabuki goodness.

Y'know, I just gotta say it is too fucking bad more people aren't reading comics, Yeah I know this isn't exactly a revolutionary statement, but DAMN, if only people knew how much they would like this stuff as compared to all the bad movies and bad tv they see. These numbers should be so much higher in every regard, its a damn shame is what it is, a damn shame. Thats all. _________________ Whats your mutant whamma jamma? |

You're right, you're right. I was wanting maybe 50-60. Because if these people are buying Supreme Power than there's no reason not to. |

Mr. Bendis-- Yeah, the numbers are not accurate, but it is what we have to go on, so I post it every month to generate conversation. When you said that the numbers are wrong, I laughed my ass of, because I was just re-reading Fortune and Glory this weeeken-- the part where you said that you can never trust a comic writer when he tells you how many books he sold.
But, in all seriousness, I wish we could get some actual numbers and not estimates, because like you say, it is a crap shoot trying to discuss figures without accurate data.
Mr. Mack-- Glad to hear your book is doing well. And yes, I do work in a comic shop now-- Comicopia in Boston. The owner always has Kabuki trades and HCs in stock (I know, because it took me a few months to get them all)-- Whenever one or two would disappear, they would show up within a week or two. _________________

Congrats on working there!
I've been in contact with them in the past. The seem to have been a big supporter of Kabuki since the beginning.
I used to get a lot of letters from one of thier customers named Victoria Yuen. She said they always had a good supply of Kabuki.
Glad to hear that they still have a great Kabuki stock.
Please tell them all I say "Hi and Thank you!" |
