Yep.

if you still only have Superman in your pull list, you have to scan all the covers to find the crossovers for Yet Another Crisis, but it's still a lot fewer covers to scan than if you were looking at every single cover from every single publisher.
And if all books are sorted by publisher and all I know is a title, I have to look for it on the DC shelf, and then the Marvel shelf, and then the Dark Horse shelf, and then the Image shelf, and then the Vertigo shelf, and then the Avatar shelf.... I don't think either system is terribly functional.
If it's genre/title, again, like a bookstore, all the superhero books are still together. You will have to look a little more for crossovers, but it's not every book in the store. And I may have to check in a couple of "genre" areas if I'm not sure how they'll classify something, but it's two instead of 10.
And I've just remembered that my store did put Black Summer (from Avatar) in with the superhero books, so they do have a mix of genre divisions and publisher divisions right now. If the owner's there next time I go in, I'll ask if they're planning on merging the other publishers eventually.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Comic Relief is considered well, huge on the national scale, it's one of half dozen stores that are known on the national retailer level, even if it is just a single store...

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
My store arranges trades by publisher and individual issues by title. I don't mind the publishing distinction cause I mostly read indie comics and my shop has a separate area for them. Nice for browsing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Did we know about this? [link]

I didn't. But Steve Trevor gets a lot more interesting if he's voiced by Nathan.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Did Joss and Bruce go to college together or something? They share so many actors.

Best Guess (via pure speculation) is Andrea Romano is Buffy/Angel/Firefly fan. Or it could be a friend of a friend sort of deal. I don't know.
It is interesting how certain animation studios tend to cast from genre TV shows. The DCAU features lots of ME actors. Gargoyles featured almost the entire cast of ST: TNG at one point or another. I'm sure there's other examples I'm missing.
