In this week’s episode of Off Panel, Comichron’s John Jackson Miller joins to chat about his big yearly comic sales report he did in partnership with ICv2’s Milton Griepp. Miller discusses whether the record setting year in comics surprised him, how the report comes together, back issues, whether single issue comics have hit their ceiling, collectibility, libraries, comics vs. graphic novels, misunderstandings of the data, pandemic projects, Diamond’s health, the idea of a Dog Man bubble, his writing on projects like Star Trek: Discovery – Die Standing, and more.

You can find Miller on Twitter and his website as well as Comichron on Twitter and the website itself. Star Trek: Discovery – Die Standing is out now.
