Blog: Hey Neil, I have an odd ask about comics. I was just recently in a comic book shop over in Cincinnati, OH, and we were doing the usual talking when you are checking out, and in a new store, and we got to the topic of Kickstarter comic campaigns, and your name was brought up, and how there was one recently for, I believe it was The Good Omens graphic novel, and how the owner of the comic shop wanted to back it, and sell copies in his store, but was specifically told he wasn’t allowed to buy retail copies, but BOOK stores were. was wondering if you knew anything about that, or it was something out of your control, or even a different Kickstarter I am thinking of that had that. Just found it weird to hear that, and wanted your take on it, before just accepting the word of a comic shop owner as the whole truth/story.
