Go, Read: A New Mark Waid Interview On His Comics Retail Endeavors In Muncie, Indiana
I pay more than the usual attention to
Mark Waid's comics retail endeavors in downtown Muncie for the fact that I grew up there. But I'm glad to. Waid's involvement in this part of comics is extremely interesting, talented comics people taking on a second area of comics (stores, making comics, conventions) is a huge and vital trend, and Muncie is the traditional "Middletown USA" so checking up on comics there is like checking up on comics in all of the markets between the coasts.
Theyr'e also really fun interviews, filled with way more candor than you usually get about the frustrations of making that very specific retail platform work. I'm grateful whenever they're done. This time up it's a store-name change and what looks like some settlement of the basic business set-up and orientation driving us into a discussion of the hassles and day to day obstacles that any retailer might face.
