PANICK Entertainment Publisher @krislongo talks shop on the latest episode of “Comic Industry Insiders”! Thank you @pranadms & @AtomBangFreeman for having Kris on to chat @time.to.panick and our friends @Modern_Fanatic! LISTEN HERE: tinyurl.com/25shjkut #comics #publishing

@lovincomicbooks These guys are friends and we helped build this one. It's a lot of fun and there are only 3 days left: kck.st/3TFSBrw

In many ways, I've been working on this project for years. The response has been wonderful.

@richjohnston Happy to answer your questions, Rich!

This data from Prana looks to be an important tool for retailers and publishers to see what's hitting with consumers...information that the industry desperately needs. #retailerday #NYCC

@slicedfriedgold @Comixace @managecomics I’ll send you the deck.

LIVE from #NYCC Retailer Day! Presentation from @AtomBangFreeman on things Prana is doing and some huge news! Partnering with @managecomics to put together sales data, and presenting some preliminary data including some sales charts. Data based on 32,000 different customers.

So proud and excited for @AtomBangFreeman and bummed that I don't get to keep making comics with my friend. For the first time in 12 years, Atom! and I aren't on the phone 20 times a day trying to push a comic shaped boulder up a hill. I find myself calling random people and saying "Atom's idea for a time traveling baby Hitler story is terrible." just to feel a little bit of that old Atom! goodness.

@J_F_Burris @dinesh_s Don’t bother, Joe. He doesn’t see the gold sitting there at his feet.

@vdcannon We have a couple things coming up that we might need help with. Stay tuned! Thanks so much for listening to the podcast! It's my favorite part of the week!

@AtomBangFreeman Hecks yeah Atom!! Been loving all the work going into Comic Industry Insiders so far and can’t wait to see what’s next beyond that. Guess it means Imma have to stop sneaking in ways to ask for a job with BI in all the comments though. Is Prana hiring? 🌝

It's finally time to be open about a poorly kept industry secret. This year, I transitioned away from @badideahello as my primary employer. I've owned Prana: Direct Market Solutions since 2018 including my time with Bad Idea....

Bad Idea Fans and Destination Store partners. Your appetite for our shenanigans and the highest standard for quality in comics was what kept us all going and creating. Thank you all for that chapter in my life and career. I can't wait to work with you all again in the next one.

the incredible talent that was and is there will inspire and inform my work for many years to come. I owe many thanks to the printing, tech, and fulfillment partners we worked with along the way but my biggest thanks for the support and patience shown goes out to the...

@BeQuieterPlease Different stores handle that differently. But, it’s a lovely idea. You should ask them!

@AtomBangFreeman I usually don't pre-order anything for fear that I will forget. My local shop, like 90% of the time, has whatever I need. Maybe I'll ask him next time, what's in the stack that no one picked up and then purchase from there. Do you think shop owners would go for that?

Comics Retailers! Indulge my curiosity on something? Go to your pullboxes (pulls, subs, whatever you call them), pull out the largest delinquent stack you have, take a picture and post it here or tag me in the post. Give the total retail value of the stack in the post.

I'm curious to see if we can get a total amount of delinquents by the end of the day.
