Comic Book Talk

Are they just complaining because they want the same old thing? They're scared to do something new, something different? This Diamond as the sole distributor has always been a terrible idea. Why would they complain with getting other distributors? It might be a little more work? I don't know - I'm just throwing out ideas.

They're complaining because the distribution companies are owned by comic retailers and they're claiming they are going to get preferential treatment for it. If it's not one thing it's another. The Word Balloon podcast (pompous ad-riddled show) had Rich Johnston (yeah, that guy) and the guy who owns Challengers Comics in Chicago (I personally told him he'd never get a dime from me with how he talks to people) talking about how this is not going to save the industry and is bound to fail.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
