  THE WEEK IN DEPTH
Chocolate:Peanut Butter Ratios...

COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: So, as I was saying when last we met: “At Alternate Reality, We're Serious About Funny Books because it’s what we do-it’s all we do”. I ended the last column there because I intended it to be the springboard into this week’s column. Of course this week should have been last week-but we’ll get to what happened with that a little later. But for now I want to go over mixing chocolate in peanut butter and how it may make one of my customers happy or miserable over the long haul. It all depends on how he looks at it.

Back at the first of the year one of my regular weekly customers, let’s call him “Jason” (not his name) went missing for over a month. When he returned I asked Jason what was up and he said he had suffered some chest pains, got to a hospital and one bypass operation later he was feeling 100% better and had a few revelations along the way. He decided he was tired of his job and planned to open up his own business. I said great but was worried the stress of getting a business off the ground would be a little more than his refurbished heart could handle. He assured me that probably wouldn’t be an issue, the doctors said if anything it would be less strain that his current job with the city. “What kind of business” I asked. “Comicbook Store” he said. “Are you insane?” I said-okay I didn’t say that. What I did ask is the most important question I feel anyone opening a business can ask themselves. “Jason, which is more important to you: opening a business or opening a comic book store.” He thought for a moment and said “A business”. Then I asked him the second most important question: “Here on the Southside?” and after a few seconds that seemed like an eternity he replied: “No, down in Georgia. My family’s there and I’m tired of Chicago winters. I’d like to open up a business somewhere that never sees snow or wind chills.” Relieved that I wouldn’t have to groom a future competitor we chatted for about an hour and occasionally still do when he comes to pick up his books.

Not to get all Forrest Gump but opening up a business is like a “Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup”. The business part is the chocolate and the peanut butter filling is whatever you care enough about to form the core of that business. Too much filling and all you are eating is a spoon full of peanut butter. Too much outer shell and you might as well be eating a Hershey bar. Finding the right balance is one of the tricks to running a business. One of the chief reasons a lot of business’ fail because there’s too much peanut butter in the chocolate, so much so that the chocolaty business component is almost non existent. The person opening the business has a virtual fetish for peanut butter but really can’t stand chocolate. Unfortunately what they fail to realize is that that chocolate outer shell is what allows the peanut butter center to exist in the first place. The thinner the shell the more likely it is to snap like an eggshell in your hand. Then you have peanut butter all over your hands and you are literally washing your business down the drain as you wash your hands.

Okay, enough with the metaphors let me tell you about fish, and I don’t mean “Fish Mooney”. A million years ago in the late 70’s when I ran the “Comicbook Emporium” there was a “Bait and Tackle” fishing store right next to us. The guy that ran it loved fishing and he used to talk about driving hours in the middle of the night to get to a lake by 5:00am and start fishing. Any later than 6:30 or 7:00am was a wasted day for him because all the fish would be gone by then. He turned his love for fishing into his business. When he wasn’t taking about fishing or going on fishing trips he would be constantly at work at his counter doing either paperwork, unpacking deliveries, facing his shelves and occasionally dealing with customers. In front of his shop he had a Coke machine that wasn’t stocked with Coke or Pepsi or Sprite or any other pop. Instead he stocked it with leaches, worms and other fish bait which his customers could come by and purchase at 2:00am on their way to their 4:00am fishing appointment. I personally could have cared less both then and now about fishing but I learned a lot about running a business from just watching him and talking fish and comics.

There were a least a hundred or so other things I learned from talking to him about his business and just observing him day in and day out. Like owning a business is not a forty hour a week kind of job but a 24/7 kind of job. Like being a good neighbor in the community is not just “nice” but essential to your business. Like having as many different, but still related items in your store as possible so your customers have a variety to choose from. But first and foremost was: “the business of a business is business” and you have to do whatever you need to do to make your business thrive. Doesn’t matter if it is a Fishing Shop, a Golf Shop, a Flower Shop, a Butcher, Baker or a Candlestick Maker Shop-flexibility, adaptability and keeping your eye on the prize are the most important characteristics one needs to open a business and keep it going. And of course-having the right ratio of chocolate outer shell to creamy peanut butter center. All this applies even for a Comic Book Store which has to be a business first and a love second.

Anyway that’s what I told and continue to tell Jason whenever he brings up the dream of his "Georgia Comic Shop". Like the Fishing Shop, there are a hundred other things he’ll need to know. Many he can learn but even more he can only learn by doing. But if he has the qualities and abilities I listed above in his tool kit, and a lot of luck, which is always an unknown “x-factor variable”, he just might make a go of it.

Oh, and the 061015 Newsletter? I needed a day off to veg out in front of Netflix. One of the things a business owner has to do is not burn out his employees. That "Sense8" series was thirteen hours I'll never get back again!

This Weeks Highlights: 061715
The "World’s Finest" team are center stage (sort of) this week as the Boy Wonder and the Man of Steels deadliest opponent return. Meanwhile the Gods of Thunder and the Marvel JLA "wanna-be’s" are trotted out onto the fields of Battleworld. It may all sound like “fiction” but the “real” ghost hunting sleuths finally arrive which is great for us since it looks like zombies are going to have it out with the foliage. And those are just some of the highlights for the third week of June 2015.

Our BOOK OF THE WEEK sees the return of the ongoing adventures of Damien Wayne to the racks in ROBIN SON OF BATMAN #1 by writer/artist Patrick Gleason with an art assist by Mick Gray. The son of a Bat and a Demon, Damian al Ghul has set out to forge his own destiny - and atone for the shameful Year of Blood! Will he be aided or hindered by the behemoth Goliath? And what mysterious legacy trails behind him? Starting Wednesday and running all week long you can save 40% OFF the first issue of Damiens new globe-hopping adventures. Also from DC this week is an unexpected twist on the Doomsday legend. Writer Scott Lobdell and artist Javi Fernandez come up with a way to Bruce Bannner the behemoth that killed the Man of Steel. In DOOMED #1 a Metropolis U student gains the power to transform into the monstrously powerful Doomsday! The power may be the key to fixing his life, but every time he transforms he risks getting stuck forever as Superman's most heinous adversary! How far can he go before he's doomed? Get the first issue of each of these ongoing series this Wednesday for 40% OFF.

Ever since Roy Thomas penned their first appearance in Avengers #70 back in 1970 the Squadron Sinister/Supreme has never been more than the JLA-envy wish fulfillment of the Marvel Universe. With all the myriad patchwork duchies of the Battleworld writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Carlos Pacheco have saved this “intellectual property” from the destruction of 616 with SQUADRON SINISTER #1. They're the “WORLD'S GREATEST SUPER...VILLAINS” and the Squadron Sinister are taking Battleworld by force in this Secret Wars tie-in for fans of crime epics like The Godfather, The Sopranos and Sons of Anarchy. But will controlling one Domain be enough for Hyperion and his gang? Read Forever Evil and find out! Or pick this up fro 40% OFF this Wednesday. If the Squadron are now the “cosa nostra” of Battleworld then who are the police to balance the scales? Call the Thor Corps and give them all badges! THORS #1 by writer Jason Aaron and artist Chris Sprouse bring the Thors of every domain, together in one book as cosmic cops. Whenever there's trouble on Battleworld, the Thors answer the call. But a string of mysterious murders leaves some of them asking questions that may unravel all of reality! This is hard-hitting Marvel style police drama with hammers, lots and lots of hammers. I need to open a Dunkin Donuts franchise on Battleworld. Asgardian cops + donuts; think of the cash to be made! And you’ll save 40% OFF on both Squadron Sinister and Thors #1 this Wednesday.

Our spotlight on the week’s indie titles begins with four childhood friends who discover a box of strange books that, when read aloud, can transport them to the beautiful, imaginary worlds described within. But when one of them goes missing, the others vow never to reveal where they've been and what they've seen. Years later, when one of the remaining kids, now an adult, also mysteriously disappears, it's up to the last two of the group to dig up their dusty books to find him and finally figure out what happened to their friend all those years ago. That’s the premise of Boom! Comics FICTION #1 by writer Curt Pires and artist David Rubin. If you like IDW’s Lock & Key or Virtigo’s The Unwritten you may want to check this out for 40% OFF this Wednesday.

Speaking of IDW writer Erik Burnham and artist Dan Schoening perform a “convergence” of their own this week by bringing together twin parallel universes created by lawyers and lawsuits. In the mini-series GHOSTBUSTERS GET REAL #1 Of (4) everyone’s favorite poltergeist hunters have a confrontation with the elder God Proteus and when it goes horribly awry, Peter, Ray, Winston and Egon meet...THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS! Hey, I ain’t afraid of no copyright infringement, especially since it’s 40% OFF this Wednesday!

Finally it’s a rarity when our “Kids Book of the Week” winds up on the “1st Day Sale” list but check the moon because I think it’s blue this week! Last Fall Dark Horse ran off (and we subsequently gave away) the Plants vs.Zombies mini-comic as part of the 2014 Halloween ComicFest. It’s half a year later (the wheels at Dark Horse grind ever slowly) and we are finally getting PLANTS VS ZOMBIES #1 BULLY FOR YOU from the original mini-comic creative team of writer Paul Tobin and artists Ron Chan and Dustin Nguyen. Dr. Zomboss's crime-filled college years are revealed! Nate, Patrice, and Crazy Dave investigate a strange college campus to keep the streets safe from zombies. Paul Tobin and Ron Chan join forces with the mysterious Anti-Bully Squad to deliver a hilarious romp to your school! Featuring two bonus stories illustrated by Dustin Nguyen (Batman: Li'l Gotham, Descender)! It’s all ages fun and it’s also 40% OFF this Wednesday!
