You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, damn. Denny O'Neil has passed away. One of my all-time favorites.

Huh. DC comics took advantage of the COVID shutdown to suddenly break Diamond Comics 25-year monopoly on comics distribution.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I saw that, Tom. That is a serious shake up.
I had a sneaking suspicion when Random House created their own graphic novel division and were carrying already carrying a lot of DC kids graphic novels and titles.

I know a lot of retailers are upset about this, but Diamond has always sucked pretty hard for retailers, right?

This has been an issue since I worked at Fantagraphics. But the bigger issue is that back in the 80s there was more than one distributor so there were options. When it all collapsed down to Diamond's monopoly that's when it got problematic.

Has anybody else been reading The Immortal Hulk? It's a really fascinating read.

Thrive to spite them
I have been reading a lot of MCU fanfic and was reading some that based Hawkeye off the comicbook and I got interested in that version of Clint Barton and I ended up getting the first trade from the library. Which had a little thing about the Young Avengers, and now I want to read that...
I figure as long as I'm just getting trades from the library I'm ok and I want fall back into the OH MY GOD I HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING thing that happened the last few times I tried to buy comicbooks.
