Comic Timing – Episode 87

1 Comment

We are back, and bigger than a bread box! Or something like that. This week we are joined once again by Shawn Pryor of PKD Media, as well as returning guest Al Sparrow of Thugs, and newcomer Eric Peterson, to discuss independent comics! We run the gambit, discussing everything from why we buy to why we don’t, and everywhere in between. We also discuss the changing distribution climate, and where the industry might be going over the next few years. It’s fun discussion not to be missed!
