I didn't read the entire interview. However, the way I read it is if you buy the Avenging Spidey floppy you get a code to get the digital version.

I'm wondering if Bedrock makes it as a Top 10 Retailer.

[sckao]

A top ten retailer probably has a massive mail subscription base and/or a chain of stores... Mile high, DCBS, Westfield, mycomicshop?

 

Barnes and Noble? Or even the dead Borders?

 

 

[TupennyConan]

Bedrock has Boards sales threads from time to time.

Oh how we laughed at the time.

[TupennyConan]

Did you laugh?

I'm going to pass & withdraw my question instead.

If you'd read the entire interview, you'd know that they asked Marvel that very question.
