From time to time I am going to give you a WWC Challenge – and this my friends is the first. I challenge you to buy a new title you have never read over the next month. I am sure you think this is a simple WWC Challenge to start out with, but I am not making this challenge as easy as you think. There are certain qualifiers for participation in the inaugural WWC Challenge.
WWC Challenge!
Which Companies?
The new comic you read cannot be from Marvel or DC. With the market statistics it is easy to tell that Marvel and DC dominate the market and most comic book readers try to stay true to the Big 2. This WWC Challenge is secretly (ok not secretly) to get you more involved with the smaller companies and to give them a better chance in the market.
Genre
Think about the genres of comics you usually read. Are most of your titles superhero titles? Are most of your titles horror? I want the comic you choose to be outside of your typical comfort zone.
Leave a Comment About the Comic Your Read for the WWC Challenge
Between the initial posting of this WWC Challenge and March 31st, I want you to leave a comment down below about which comic you chose and what you thought about it. You don’t have to give a full book report (and please don’t), just a line or two about if you are happy you read it or if you will never return to the title again.
What Do You Get?
Sorry that there is not a solid prize for this WWC Challenge. There are prized competitions we are coming up with right now – but not for this one. The goal is to make you a more satisfied comic book reader. It will help you to become more engaged in the market and might open your eyes to a whole new world (I feel a song coming on).
Resources
There are limitless resources out there for deciding what comic you should read for your WWC Challenge. You can check out Previews, or take a look at one of the smaller publishing company’s websites. You can also ask one of us in the store. Remember, there are benefits to asking our opinions in the store. You just have to stop in to find out what those are.
