February 11, 2012 4:08 pm I think for many retailers, it's about changing your audience. I stopped buying single issues almost half a decade before I downloaded my first digital comic. But I was still a proponent of my LCS. Digital has turned me back into a monthly reader without changing my LCS habits one bit. I buy 2 or 3 titles per month digitally and stop in my LCS once a month or so and pick up my favorite trades as they're available. Interestingly enough though, my LCS has diversified as well, running gaming and trivia nights and has expanded to include a full service coffee shop as well. To me, Legends Comics in Omaha, NE is doing it right.

January 5, 2012 6:49 pm Personally, I enjoy any new take on an old story. With a 70+ year old character there are limited new stories to tell (and let's face it, Snyder's telling most of them) so a new take on an old tale, count me in. Besides, the excuse of, "its already been done" is like saying we shouldn't read Fables or Hellboy because we've read Arthurian tales or Grimm's (the stories, not THE NBC show)
