"Comic stores are dying. Book stores are dying. Part of it's the economy but part of it is also just the way publishers do business. "

I will go so far as to say comic stores are dead. The key to success is to be a full-service genre store.

Stores can no longer afford to be storage bins of back issues. $1000 per month means only moving $30-$35 per day of back stock and that is not going to get a store anywhere. And frankly, customers don't care. The internet really killed the LCS. When someone wants a back issue, they rarely go to their LCS first, they turn online first. They look to eBay and other sources to order and have shipped the books they want. We stocked shelves for three months and then moved most everythingto our dollar or less bins.

Comic books need to just be a section of a store. It is a section among RPGs, CCGs, decore, toys, videos, clothing, minatures, clix, video games, and similar items if you want to stay in business. Comic shops can't think of themselves as just comic shops. If they stay away from that mentality than same-day digital release will really have little impact on the retailer because comics themselves have had so little of an impact for quite some time.

Cover to Batgirl #2

:

I preffer this version of the costume to the one we saw on the issue #1 cover.

Still the only title i am absolutely sure to buy.

Probable others: Hawkman, Aquaman, Firestorm, Batman, Detective Comics, Batman & Robin. A few issues of JLA. Maybe Swamp Thing. Probably Justice League Dark.

From:

Confirmed as the definitive Wonder Woman #1 cover and, costume.

As Moyer said (or rather linked).

I may Buy Wonder Woman too.

I like that art.

The question is will the stories be good?

Who is writing? I don't remember...

No Joe. Under Harras writers looked like puppets.

Excepted big selling names that were image artists.

Until maybe Heroes Return, which seem to have marked the return to qualitie stories.

Azarello! That's it. Thanks Brian.

I liked the few Azarello 100 bullets i read.
