In many ways, I've been working on this project for years. The response has been wonderful.

Big news from New York Comic Con!
During Prana's presentation at the inaugural Retailer Day, Adam Freeman and Stephanie Gerk just unveiled an exciting new way to measure comic shop data we're receiving from our new partnership with Manage Comics: the Fan Confidence Rating (FCR).

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

@richjohnston Happy to answer your questions, Rich!

[Heidi MacDonald @Comixace]

This data from Prana looks to be an important tool for retailers and publishers to see what's hitting with consumers...information that the industry desperately needs. #retailerday #NYCC

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

@slicedfriedgold @Comixace @managecomics I’ll send you the deck.

[Heidi MacDonald @Comixace]

LIVE from #NYCC Retailer Day! Presentation from @AtomBangFreeman on things Prana is doing and some huge news! Partnering with @managecomics to put together sales data, and presenting some preliminary data including some sales charts. Data based on 32,000 different customers.

So proud and excited for @AtomBangFreeman and bummed that I don't get to keep making comics with my friend. For the first time in 12 years, Atom! and I aren't on the phone 20 times a day trying to push a comic shaped boulder up a hill. I find myself calling random people and saying "Atom's idea for a time traveling baby Hitler story is terrible." just to feel a little bit of that old Atom! goodness.

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

@J_F_Burris @dinesh_s Don’t bother, Joe. He doesn’t see the gold sitting there at his feet.

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

@vdcannon We have a couple things coming up that we might need help with. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for listening to the podcast! It's my favorite part of the week!

It's finally time to be open about a poorly kept industry secret.

This year, I transitioned away from @badideahello as my primary employer. I've owned Prana: Direct Market Solutions since 2018 including my time with Bad Idea....

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

Bad Idea Fans and Destination Store partners. Your appetite for our shenanigans and the highest standard for quality in comics was what kept us all going and creating.

Thank you all for that chapter in my life and career. I can't wait to work with you all again in the next one.

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

the incredible talent that was and is there will inspire and inform my work for many years to come.

I owe many thanks to the printing, tech, and fulfillment partners we worked with along the way but my biggest thanks for the support and patience shown goes out to the...

@BeQuieterPlease Different stores handle that differently. But, it’s a lovely idea. You should ask them!

[Atom! Freeman @AtomBangFreeman]

Comics Retailers!
Indulge my curiosity on something? Go to your pullboxes (pulls, subs, whatever you call them), pull out the largest delinquent stack you have, take a picture and post it here or tag me in the post. Give the total retail value of the stack in the post.

I'm curious to see if we can get a total amount of delinquents by the end of the day.
