Free Comic Book Day TakeB.R.O.ver Edition

About this episode

The hosts discuss their experiences and insights from Free Comic Book Day at two different comic shops.

In this special crossover episode, we’re hijacking a totally different show for a TakeB.R.O.ver of the Comics Industry Insiders Live live show! Join Django, Jeff, and Brian for the first 30 minutes of the show as they dive deep into the whirlwind that was Free Comic Book Day . Hear how The Comics Place in Bellingham, WA and Earth 519 in London, ON tackled the biggest day in comics in their own unique (and occasionally chaotic) ways. 💥 What went right? 💭 What would we do differently next time? 🍎 And how did Murphy’s Apple Juice keep us refreshed through it all? From long lines to last-minute surprises, it's a behind-the-scenes look at the logistics, lessons, and laughter of FCBD at two very different shops. Whether you're a retailer, a fan, or just here for the data, there’s a juicy nugget in here for everyone.
