Comic Marketing comes in 2 forms:
1. Look at this ✨cool, new title✨!!
2. Becoming an octopus, answering emails, solving 9 emergency situations, coordinating multiple items, photoshop warlock, social media, meetings, and desperately trying to eat half of a chicken caesar wrap for the last 4 hours.
NPD bookscan does cover manga but it’s expensive if you’re not receiving it through a publisher. I would love to see sell-in numbers for manga — not just sell through because that’s such an interesting piece of the puzzle
…a fighting chance in an ever evolving market. Not everything is Saga Meets [Media Comp].
Knowing which titles are where in terms of the market and in what formats they are most successful is useful information for the long time and maintained health of the industry. (2/2)
The industry both WANTS and NEEDS sales charts. They aren’t just to see what’s selling so folks can high five about high numbers. They are a CRUCIAL tool for marketing and sales folks to determine marketability, key selling points, & provide accurate comp titles to allow newer or debut titles (1/2)
….I’m in the same boat especially with the new main line games coming for the platform later
I’ve recently maxed my PTO. I’m wondering if I should just do a solo Japan trip this year for a mental reset…
Today feels personal
LA train conductors are so hit and miss. Sometimes you’ll have a smooth ride. Other times it feels personal.
Reading Volume 6 of Dragon & Chameleon. GAH! Words can't describe how much I love this series. If anyone feels stuck or unmotivated to draw their comic/manga series, then you should read this. It's so inspiring! Hope it becomes a anime one day. Would love to draw my comics while watching it.😍✏️❤️❤️❤️
I will need to pick this up this weekend
In an effort to take things slower, I took the metro to work today. 30+ minutes longer including transfers but I can zone out to d&d podcasts
The only time I’ll acknowledge I’m absolutely crispy is when I get taken out by intense vertigo or other illness. Yeah yeah…I’ll take a nap later
I watched even through intense vertigo because IT WAS PITT NIGHT
Actual footage of me with my sad sandwich as a group of coworkers are making hot pot in the communal kitchen. It smells SO good 😭
Jeremy is an honorary Pitt bro
I’m still falling! Where’s the ground? 🥹
…that was my second ComicsPro ever, WE WERE BABIES
Omg how did I forget this 🤣 what is time? Where are we? What year is it?!
Same to you! You know where I live on the internet, so we can always chat. I hope you enjoyed your first ComicsPro — this one was a DOOZY
That show was INTENSELY PACKED with programming and conversation
It will be the BEST DAY
Also, hi friend, I miss you at shows and I hope you’re managing 🖤🖤🖤
That was something I asked the other night because afaik, Jack doesn’t stream this one so it’s just funnier that he’s in a room, alone, screaming and yelling
Ok yesss I love this. I do love Jack’s confused wtf moments….and the screaming…
I haven’t seen Mark’s play through but I believe it! (And now have an excuse to start at chapter 1 again)
Slowly getting through Jacksepticeye’s play through of Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 each night as a small treat
Whoa! That’s a huge W
