Re: Facts about your job that most people don\'t know. . .
I own and run two comic book stores.
And in spite of what people think, the publishers tell me less about upcoming products than what they tell the general public. Even though I buy the vast majority of my product non-returnable making me, in effect, the end consumer for thier product, I am more likely to find out important news about an upcoming project from news sites catering to the public than I am from the weekly direct e-mails I get from the companies themselves.
Unless they shoot Captain America in the head, then the NY Times knows about it before I do.
