What about direct sales from the publishers to the LCS's how easy would it be to email upcoming comic release info and collect orders via there own website then ship directly to the LCS cutting out diamond.
Devils Due did it recently when hack/slash was banned from distributing via diamond due to a legal action on its reanimator issues.
I think we are missing a part of the picture here, all the talk is about the comic book publishers raising prices, dont forget the distributor and the LCS they get a cut. Do Diamond work on a percentage of the sell price? are Diamond pushing the publishers for an increase as fuel cost have risen.
Have a look at the deal Devil's due publishing are offering retailers on hack/slash at the moment because Diamond wont distibute due to a legal wrangle. 10 issues for $14.00 normal cover price £3.50 per issue so wheres the $2.10 go to? what do diamond take, what go's to the LCS. considering the volumes that Marvel and DC print they must also have reduced costs so if Devil's due can make a profit on $1.40 an issue what is Marvel and DC making.
WOW what a story totaly fantastic.
Ed Brubaker's writing is outstanding and really draws you into the story. I have never really read Captain America much previously, I got into this story arc from the end of Civil war and boy am I glad I did.
I would recommend this as a great read even if you are not a big Captain America fan.
