Back from Kentucky

Welp, we're back from Kentucky. Had a pretty good show, and as always, I'd like to thank those that came out and supported the cause. In fact, we had more people take a chance on us at this show than at most of the shows I've been to this year. So that was nice.

As always, I'm trying to figure what plays to make based on this last show. Monster King #3 and The Clown & Tea Cup Show #1 seemed to sell the best. Both of those books are REALLY weird. Maybe I'm better off avoiding the mainstream stuff entirely. Or maybe it was just coincidence. The fact that MK3 sold well might mean that Color is a good idea, after all. Or not. Hell, I dunno.

The HFSAC TPB isn't setting the world on fire. Am I not pushing it hard enough? Come to think of it, I still haven't added that one to the store. I'm starting to think that Trade Paperbacks are a bad idea...for us Small Press Guys. They work great for established creators/characters/imprints. But us little guys? I mean, would you spend 10 bucks or more on a book from some guy you never heard of? Well, I mean, I would, but I'm crazy about comix. But you wouldn't, right?

What's bugging me, is that I really haven't been able to move "Cosmic Love" #2 super well. That book should sell like Hot Cakes. It is bad ass. Total. Bad. Ass. And it sells okay. But it should sell better. People should pick that one up, flip through a few pages, and go, "Yes, please." Maybe I need a better sales pitch. Maybe I just don't know what's good and what's not.

Eh, it's all just some crazy crapshoot at the end of the day.

Next show is the Chicago Comicon August 11-14. I'll be working that show like a rabid pit bull. Growl.
