Y’all should be listening to @cbccpodcast.bsky.social and not just because they said such sweet things about us but because you love all things comics! Find them on your podcatcher of choice!

While you may not be able to get autism over the counter, one counter you can get all kinds of great stuff is over the counter at your LOCAL COMIC SHOP!! (Stuck the landing.) Visit your local comic shop, TODAY!

Shopping for Superman is LIVE!

Also… cat.

Feels like an awesome omen to have your story published in any title with Spawn on the cover. ( @imagecomics.com being one of the best to ever do it.) If your LCS carries Comic Shop News you can check out the two-part write up on the award-winning comic shop documentary, SHOPPING FOR SUPERMAN!

Savage Lands now has a no shirt no shoes policy.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 This week on the show, we’ll be discussing @weseastin.bsky.social’s upcoming documentary @shop4supedoc.bsky.social, which is a love-letter to the friendly neighborhood comic shop and the people fighting to keep their doors open 📚

One week away. Get ready to go Shopping for Superman! - The origin story of your friendly neighborhood comic shop goes live Friday Sept. 19th on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, and Youtube TV to rent or buy! You can also visit www.shoppingforsuperman.com to pre-order a Blu-ray!

@ashcanpress.com What’s the Furthest and We’re Taking Everyone are two of my favorite books right now. Amazing stuff.

Gen Con has some of the nicest people but also some of the most hard-frowningest people. Should I have stopped walking randomly and started shouting at the person behind me to pre-order Shopping for Superman? Maybe not? Are they over reacting by crying and running away? Most certainly.

If you’re going to Gen Con, Shopping for Superman is screening at 10am on Friday at the Marriott! Find us on the schedule and come say hello and see the Best Documentary from Comic Con! Maybe go to our website and pre-order the movie too, while you’re at it. ;)

My head is still spinning from a crazy Comic Con. I feel completely wiped but still came back energized and ready for what comes next. Time to wrap up a bluray and start talking a limited run screening tour.

So Comic Con went… well. Thanks to everyone sho helped me get here. You’re amazing and wonderful and smell very nice.

Come and see us at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday at 11am over at the Marriott Marquis Grand Ballroom 6!

@cutfortime.bsky.social The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vámonos, amigos,” he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

100 followers!? Awesome! Thanks for following along, folks.

July 24th at 11am at @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social Come and see us!

Hey @cbccpodcast.bsky.social any chance you'll be at San Diego Comic Con this year?

An absolute treat to meet the team behind Good Day Columbus I finally have proof that I’m not always over-caffeinated and, on occasion, not always talking someone’s ear off about Shopping for Superman. Watching yourself on tv can be rough, haha! Now to prep for San Diego Comic Con 🤯

I’ve been using Swisstransfer (www.swisstransfer.com/en-us), a far superior service. Free, allows for larger transfers, the link remains alive longer, encryption…what’s not to like?

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for. Stop using WeTransfer.

Shopping for Superman will be opening the San Diego Comic Con on July 24th at 11AM PST. Geeky fist pump.

Looking forward to PopCon Indy next week over in Indianapolis, IN. If you're nearby, hope to see you there! We're screening at 4:45pm on Saturday the 28th as a part of the Nerdy Docs block in room 130. popcon.us/popcon-indy/...

Listened to a comics fan today explain everything he didn’t like about the trailer for the new Superman movie. Personally, I’m excited. But it was fun to be in a shop where a nerd’s soapbox should be instead of the internet all of the time forever. Immensely entertaining in person. #lookup

LA Friends! IN ONE WEEK our West Coast premiere will be happening at the Regal Cinema @ LA Live, May 18th at 12pm! Get your tickets before they sell out! bit.ly/43aOvLZ This is all a part of the LA Film Fest and tickets are going fast!

Shameless self-promotion time. Shopping for Superman has been officially selected to appear at this year's San Diego Comic Con International Film Festival. Excelsi-goddamn-or.

Neat title. It could have read, "Blogger Afraid to Ask Documentarian Any Questions"

Kuo-Yu Liang was kind enough to chat with us about the Binc Foundation and the good work they do for bookstores and comics sellers. Thanks, Ku! youtu.be/b9g_CdAXwJY

We were just accepted into the LA Film Festival!

Was this typical for the third volume of What’s the Furthest Place From Here? Delighted to find it. @tylerboss.bsky.social and @ashcanpress.com made something lovely and weird.

I don’t take compliments well so it’s been a rough few days :)

Joe Field of Flying Colors in Concord, CA has been one of the film's true believers for a few years now. Every time I've reached he's been there for advice, moral support, and no shortage of ideas. Thanks, Joe! youtu.be/NQPYbg9MOPE

Darick Robertson mentioned us in a post (giggles girlishly).

And... we have a trailer. youtu.be/xBhP8iPbG84

Donated some books to our little local lending library at Kenyon College. Hope they’re ready for some @templesmith.bsky.social spookies. Thanks to @thevaultcomics.bsky.social Oni Press, @viz.com @dstlry.bsky.social and of course Image and Vertigo who gave me nothing but rule anyway.

“The hell you lookin’ at?”

Power keeps going out while I edit. I have discovered an amazing talent. I can shout REALLY loud.

Shopping for Superman has no shortage of Joe Ferrara and after you watch this video you'll know why. Atlantis Fantasyworld and Joe hold a special place in a lot of people's hearts and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with him when I was driving through Santa Cruz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lkO...

I have a warm cat on my lap who needs scratches more than I need to work late.

Peter David has been both prolific at his craft and incredibly kind to this project and its director. His experience with the direct market is one of many fascinating chapters in his life and he could use our support. Please consider donating by visiting www.gofundme.com/f/help-peter...

@ssnyder1835.bsky.social the title to your @dstlry.bsky.social book is very misleading. I felt a hunger for more. Solid work here. Thanks to you @jockbsky.bsky.social and the team for making something so tantalizing and awesome.

Dan DiDio took time away from his meeting and greeting comics fans at GalaxyCon Columbus back in 2023 to talk to us about some of his favorite comics memories and the importance of the retail comics shop. youtu.be/fdOKmsl1iTs

A huge thanks go to @drdrea.bsky.social for her taking the time back in 2016 to talk about the value of identity in fandom at the Long Beach Comic Con and Expo. youtu.be/GfX2jxeakPU

I've decided to start cutting down some of my past interviews that couldn't all fit into the less than 1.5 hour film. I've got three mostly where I want them and soon, likely next week, I'll start posting them on social media. Be sure to like/follow/blahblahblah to see what we're cookin'.

I’ve long believed that the hardest truth for a person growing up in the US is the sickening realization that your parent’s love and acceptance could be conditional. No matter your sex or gender identity, to realize that your parent could love you less for who you are is terrifying.

@gailsimone.bsky.social behold! Max!

This has nothing to do with my film but I just finished the first draft of the first issue of a comic. Currently mapped out four issues and... comic writing is hard. Like... I've had so many opinions when I read my monthly books but I'm going to just shut my mouth and be thankful, going forward.

The BINC Foundation (Book Industry Charitable Foundation) is providing scholarships for bookstores and comic shops that need a little help. Check out their website to learn about the great things they're doing for the retail comic book industry! bincfoundation.org

Sad to hear about yet another store closing due to rent costs but what's worse is when a writer, full of culture war bravado half a world away, wants to paint the shop's passing as no great loss because of the store's identity politics. bleedingfool.com/blogs/unapol...
