Happy Birthday to The Beguiling!

Posted by Anthony Del Col, November 16, 2012 – 3:25 pm

We have been blessed to have gotten to know a lot of retailers and their stores over the last couple of years and it’s one of the best parts of the job.  Retailers often put their entire lives into their stores and are the culture makers/influencers/purveyors of what is good in the comics industry.

Congrats to Toronto’s newest Comic Book Store!

Posted by Anthony Del Col, February 9, 2012 – 2:56 pm

These days it seems as though many comic book shops are closing down, whether it’s because owners are moving on, decreasing sales, or lower margins.  So it’s refreshing when new comic shops open up – and there’s one in our very own backyard of Toronto.

Conor and I attended the Sundance New Frontier Story Lab last week and I’ll post a lot of content from our time in the next couple of days.  But before we took part in the lab, we arranged to fly into Salt Lake City a day early so that we could do some signings at [...]

Happy Birthday to Paradise!

Posted by Anthony Del Col, September 8, 2011 – 11:15 am

Once someone finds a local comic shop they like, they want to stay loyal to them.  For me, living in Toronto’s midtown area, the closest is Paradise Comics.  Even before Kill Shakespeare was published they were great to me, giving me advice on the publishing industry and things to watch for as I dipped my [...]
