Bad news for indy comics.
Jan. 21st, 2009 10:50 amBad news for indy comics from Diamond.
Diamond, who have a virtual monopoly on the monthly comics distribution, appear to bringing in a new minimum sales total. This will effectively rule out any 30ish page comics that isn't in the top 300 list of comics (including the larger graphic novels).
I don't have anything against Marvel and DC superhero comics, I do get one or two of them, but I much prefer some of the stuff coming out the so called independant publishers like Avatar, Desperadoes, Slave Labour Graphics, or self published, that will probably disappear from comic shop shelves.
