This is interesting http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/138455-busted-bcc-replaces-harvey-awards-with-ringo-awards-after-outhouse-expose.html quote:Last year, The Outhouse ran a hard-hitting exposé on how Valiant Comics mysteriously garnered 35% of the nominations for the Harvey Awards, which have run annually at Baltimore Comic Con. We noted how the eight members of The Valiant Fan Forums brigaded the /r/comicbooks' "Best of Comics 2015" polls, forcing mod Christian Hoffer to vacate two of the awards. While Harvey ballots are restricted to people working in the industry, that appears to work on an honor system, as anyone can submit a ballot through the website. We're not saying the Valiant Fan Forums rigged the Harveys, but does the pope poo poo in the woods? Absolutely anything that helps people remember Mike Weringo is excellent in my opinion.

Today I got sucked into a multi-customer discussion/argument about Gwenpool and Spider-Gwen and how they are or are not the same person.

Aphrodite posted:I collect statues and stuff of a few specific characters. I had the idea of getting the first appearance issue for each of them to hang on the wall (since the wall space behind the shelves is just being wasted) but 2 of them are Cyclops and Green Arrow, so that's just not happening. Maybe Uncanny #138 for Cyclops?

Lightning Lord posted:That's not necessary, there's already an Iron Maiden in Marvel, she's the woman covered in metal from Earth X One of the reason Ironheart was not named "Iron Maiden" was their inability to use the name on covers.

Skwirl posted:They aren't using the name Ironheart on the covers, so that doesn't hold water.They're definitely not using Iron Maiden because of the Band, but also there's some weird sexual politics associated with the word "Maiden." They have used the name Ironheart on several covers though.

Skwirl posted:I was wrong when I said they didn't put the words Iron Heart on the cover, but the name of the comic is still Invincible Iron Man. I was asking where I could buy Iron Heart #1 They mocked up covers with the "Iron Heart" name on them and showed them to retailers. The reactions were pretty negative and they kept using "Iron Man" so as to not have the book be DOA.

Skwirl posted:Now I'm just depressed. It sucks. But people don't always like or want change. It's working with Thor but my Sam Cap numbers are in the shitter and "Infamous" outsells Iron Man like 12 to 1 at my store.

Someone is dying in the next issue of Archie and they're hinting that it's Betty. Which is probably bullshit but hey, whatever https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/06/tragedy-hits-riverdale-in-archie-22-check-out-a-first-look-preview-here/

They sent out PRs to retailers saying we should all up our orders on the next issue.

X-O posted:You should really find another place to work. Your customer base makes your work life sound like a nightmare. With DCBS closing up their local operations we're getting a whole slew of loving assholes who expect us to bend over and take it from them. It's fun!
