I'm so excited to launch my new series Let's Talk Shop on the Cryptid Creator Corner podcast. My first three jobs, not including mowing lawns, were in comic book shops and the community and friendships I made there have lasted a lifetime. Dropping once a month, this new project is designed to take you inside the lives and minds of comic book shop owners and employees around the world. We are starting off with Dimitrios Fragiskatos, owner of Anyone Comics in Brooklyn, New York. We talk about how crowdfunding can integrate into the direct market, the store's adapted strategy for book delivery during Covid, why aren't MCU/DCU movies bringing in younger readers, how neighborhood demographics influence product purchasing, what we both think of the new X-Men launch, where you can score the best pizza in town, and so much more. Thanks for joining me on this new endeavor. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Special thanks to the donated voice talents of Dave Gafner, Miranda & Aiden Kucera, Cody from Keeping It Geekly, and my co-host Jimmy Gaspero
