Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talking Comics Podcast: Issue #751: Aaron Scented Febreze
Q: What are the credible sources used to track comic book sales, and how reliable are they?
They discuss ICV2 and Comicron as key US-focused sources, noting that ICV2 provides unit-dollar rankings from POS data across a sample of stores, while Comicron historically aggregated data from various channels; they critique non-random sampling and the limitations of large-scale generalizations from a small set of shops.
Talking Comics Podcast: Issue #748: Daredevil Born Again, Again
Q: What are your thoughts on the current direction of the X-Universe and Krakoa?
The panel expresses a mix of nostalgia and concern, noting that while Krakoa offered fresh takes and diverse angles, the later direction sometimes felt aimless or overly nostalgic, and readers crave a sense of forward movement and coherence.
