Comic Store Management

After a few months, we're finally getting the hang of our new POS (Point of Service) program at the store. As you may or may not have seen, we have a better system to manage customer pulls. We enter subscriber forms each month to make sure that you are getting what you asked for. This new system shows what you are getting pulled for the week (as opposed to the old system that was for the month!) so if you have a series that been delayed, such as... hmmm.... I don't know, let's say Kick Ass, well, when it does come in, it'll be on your pull form because the computer knows that no matter how long it's been, that you've ordered it! Again, the old system would have required us to A) hold onto older forms and B) go through those forms to see if someone did check it off. And in the case of Kick Ass, well, we'd have to go back pretty far! Imagine how yellowed the paper would have been for those of you who checked off Ult. Wolverine vs. Hulk! This new system, MOBY, let's us see what's in a subscriber's folder and what's on the shelf. So if ya take something off the shelf and add it to your folder, please let us know so we can make the change. Same goes if you no longer want a book that was previously in your folder.

As of July 1st, Double Midnight Comics is 7 years old. Personally, I've met and made some very good friends through the store as I know Chris and Brett have as well. Everyday I thank God that I get to sell comics! While I love teaching as well, there is something about introducing someone to a new series or chatting about what's cool in comics. Speaking of what's cool, Wednesday Comics is my new favorite! It's such a different take on storytelling and it forces creators to be, well, creative in telling their weekly part of the story in just one, albeit oversized, page.

July 18th we're officially celebrating our 7th anniversary with some very cool specials and events! Select Marvel tradepaperbacks and hardcovers for just $7!?! Back issues on sale, give aways all day and cool (and colorful) cake(s). be sure to come down to see what we have cooked up.

Oh, and Blackest Night #1 drops on Wednesday. The 1st 200 people to pick it up will also get a FREE Black Lantern ring that actually fits adults! We have a sample at the store, some come drool in admiration!
