: Were you surprised to sell out all your batches of +EV Comics there, considering it is a very niche subject matter?īobby Crosby: I was very pleasantly surprised, yes. This year my booth was right next to Marvel's and I got to see about 20 movie stars, including the cast of The Avengers, without even leaving my booth.
In recent years Hollywood has started to take over the convention, using it as a promotional tool for films and TV shows. Over 130,000 comic book fans, most of whom are dressed up as their favorite characters, fill the convention center and go wild. : Tell our readers what Comic-Con is like, for those that don't know.īobby Crosby: The San Diego Comic-Con is a huge convention that my company has exhibited at since 1994. "I was right next to the Marvel booth at Comic-Con" : Do you think the book will mainly be bought as a gift? Where will people be able to buy it?īobby Crosby: It would make a great gift for anyone who plays poker or has to live with someone who does. The money covered printing and shipping costs. : Were you surprised that you got more than you asked for?īobby Crosby: I was very happy to get more. I'll probably launch another project soon (I write a lot of comics). I've since done another Kickstarter project for a different comic of mine that raised over $33,000, so I'm getting better at learning how to use Kickstarter. I didn't really do any promotion for the project - I simply posted a link to it on the comic's website.
If I had the chance to see theirs first, I probably would have made a much stronger effort to get the poker community involved and really pump up the campaign. : It seems the poker community is happy to get behind Kickstarter campaigns, following this and the Bet-Raise-Fold campaign.īobby Crosby: The "+EV" Kickstarter actually ended before the Bet-Raise-Fold campaign began. : What prompted the Kickstarter campaign, was it public demand?īobby Crosby: Readers had been asking for a collection book for years and I thought Kickstarter was the best way to accept pre-orders from the biggest fans. "Readers have been asking for a collection book for years" We shared a few words with Bobby shortly after he got back from Comic-Con, the biggest comic exhibition in the world. The campaign sold out with ease and the book is now available to buy. We have featured a +EV comic every day since then and translated them all into 19 different languages for each of our communities.īobby also completed a Kickstarter campaign to release the comic as a book - the perfect gift for any poker player. It has been a busy four months since Bobby Crosby first introduced his popular poker comic series +EV to.
