What nickname would you give to the Haliburton & Mathurin backcourt

I'm going to instead name Haliburton and the Pacers larger younger core: Reese's Pieces.
Terrible nickname! But this is why I'm not a nickname guy.

I gotta bounce David - but thank you for doing this!! It was a lot of fun, and I appreciate you doing something you encourage publishers to do: try something new! Have a good one!

Thanks Elliot! And with that, I'm going to bounce as well! Thank you for joining me on this new adventure, and I hope you enjoyed it. The transcript will be going up in the next day or two! If you enjoyed it, let me know and maybe we can do another one in the future!

The 25 year nostalgia loop applies to how the industry is dealing with their publishing. Companies are using the playbook that nearly brought things to a grinding halt and put Marvel in bankruptcy. Comics will survive this, they always do, but the how absolutely has to be a change.

Admittedly, still a little salty that DC removed the Ink and Zoom categories in under a year. They were good, and helped people identify what age group to pick for. Yes, there are "kids" and "young adults" written on the back, but spines are there for a reason. The spine is the information you get to even PICK UP the book from the shelf.

There are still supply chain issues for the biggest mangas - but they aren't anywhere NEAR as bad as they were a couple years ago. Publishers tend to be working on a "rolling reprint schedule" that more aggressively anticipates sell through - like when Scholastic set THREE reprint cycles over the course of three months for Heartstopper when the Netflix show obliterated their stock. That seems to be happening with the biggest mangas, waves of availability, but with WAAAAAYYY shorted waiting times.

Okay, those were all smart answers to previous topics I wanted to work in. They're in there for posterity. Thanks for joining me!
