We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Currently reading The Perfect Tear by Connie Lansberg. Expect a podcast about the novel when all of the hosts get finished reading the novel. Many thanks to Connie Lansberg and Rhonda Rees, of RReesPR, for their support of ComicPop Library and check out the trailer for The Perfect Tear, then you can find it on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Perfect-
Books-A-Million has joined Barnes & Noble in a boycott of DC Comic’s top 100 graphic novel titles. These titles are being pulled from these stores in protest of DC Comics giving Amazon exclusive content for it’s new Kindle Fire.
According to ICv2, Barnes & Noble are retaliating against DC Comics for giving Amazon exclusive digital content on some of DC’s graphic novel backlist. It is being reported that Barnes & Noble is pulling 100 of DC’s backlist titles from their brick and mortar stores. This is in effort to show DC and other publishers in the future that stores do not appreciate a publisher giving exclusive deals to specific competitors. After the last quarter is report for DC sales, we will see if this hurts their sales numbers or not.
