Welcome to the Ranger Ryan Show, featuring Trade Paperbacks. Which is a Comic Book Podcast where we will be discussing comic books, plain and simple, issue by issue. The Comic Book industry has been transformed over the past few years and has struggled to remain relevant in an environment of Superhero Fatigue plaguing our cinemas. It's clear that the public is not showing up to the cinema, but when you look back at the source material there are plenty of great stories yet to be told. We will look at comics from the past and present comparing the writing, artwork, and entertainment value.

Not Free Comic Book Day | Ranger Special
Free Comic Book Day is an annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to attract new readers to independent comic book stores. It usually takes place on the first Saturday of May and is often cross-promoted with the release of a superhero film. Over two thousand participating stores give away millions of comic books annually. The event was proposed by Joe Field in the August 2001 issue of Comics & Games Retailer magazine and Free Comic Book Day was launched in 2002, coordinated by the industry's single large distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. FCBD has become an official Children's Book Week event and has inspired similar events for German- and Dutch-language comics industries. The twenty-first edition of FCBD was held on May 6, 2023.

We have narrowed the playing field with DC versus Marvel versus Indie Publications. Now that we have been through two rounds of Grab Bag Month... Let's see where we stand.
