Cracker Barrel will start selling comics - well, one - this holiday season
If Cracker Barrel were to sell comics, wha𓆉t would it be? You'd never guess this

Tokyopop has announced t♕hat the North American restaurant/g🍸ift shop chain Cracker Barrel Old Country Store will begin carrying one of its manga releases, the adaptation by Jun Asuka.
"We're teaming up with Cracker Barrel to bring Disney The Nightmare Before Chrisಌtmas manga to their stores!" . "Keep your eyes peeled for it next time you stop by."
On the face of it, this♍ appears to be a special deal Tokyopop has worked out with Cracker Barrel similar to Marvel and DC's recent partnerships with Walmart, Target, and other stories, as opposed to a larger comics strategy from Cracker Barrel.
That being said, Cracker Bꦦarrel has shown itself willing for these unusual tie-ins, after previous cꦡollaborations with All Elite Wrestling and Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons. And given Nightmare Before Christmas' Disney pedigree and its unique tie-in to both Halloween and Christmas, now is literally the time.
For comics however, being stocked inside Cracker Barrel's signature gift shop area seems a unique area ripe for expansion. Although it may🐷 not be theꦯ right situation for any comic books, if books-on-tape continue to sell in a Cracker Barrel, why not books-as-art?
For its part, Tokyopop has several other Nightmare Before Christmas manga it could push to this market if its successful, including a four-volume spin-off focused on Ja𝓡ck's dog , and a fifth book follo🐈wing Sally.
To put it a 🎀better way, we'll leave it to and a response it had for a surprised fan: "What, haven't you ever had chicken pot pie by a roaring fireplace while reading your favorite manga?"
