Our 20 Questions interview series finds us catching up with favorite people in comics on not just their latest works, but getting a little more about who they are and what they like at the same time (with a little bit of ridiculousness in the mix).

Retailers on the Story So Far with DC Comics’ DC YOU Initiative

September 22, 2015

By David Harper

A little over a month ago, retailers from around the United States shared their thoughts on the All New, All Different line announcement at Marvel, and for the most part things were looking good.

A Matter of Space: John Hendrick Talks the New and Improved Big Bang Comics

August 3, 2015

By David Harper

As an aspiring comic shop owner, it’s always fun for me to check out shops wherever I go. I’ve been to shops in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, England and many states, as I’ll go out of my way to see what shops are like in places that aren’t Alaska.
