Amazon sells more trade paperbacks then Diamond does. So Amazon has more power than all those lcs`s combined now. The game has changed. Amazon could buy Diamond in a heartbeat. ;)

 

Gee i don't know

Does anybody really believe that the remaining 1500 lcs have are more profitable than Amazon?

As for Geppi`s Diamond they almost went bankrup last year

Geppi considered bankruptcy in 2010.

 

Disney`s smart they know when the see a sinking ship and were smart to go with Hachette.

 

No. Steve Geppi considered a personal bankruptcy in 2010 - it had nothing to do with Diamond.

 

And calling a company with almost $420 million in sales to North American comic book stores alone a sinking ship is :screwy:

Or you could have bought all the floppies from dcbs for $80 and not got muscle strain holding a 52 book HC.

I expect the hardcover to be underordered and go for over a $100 when I flip it on Ebay after I read it.Also to me it`s a lot easier to flip one hardcover then 52 different titles. Ebay now takes a bite out of your shipping charges.

It should be interesting though, and I hope out of the 52 titles that I read sometime in December that a few I like and will actually buy regularly.

 

It's $150 Cover price so you should be ok to flip it.

How Amazon get these prices when comic shops can't is disgusting though!

You don`t follow the comic industry news pass the lcs do you?

It`s just not Marvel,as DC gets their tradepaperbacks distributed outside of comicshops by Random House.

 

Diamond is at one time had tremendous power in the industry. Now they are having a hard time with adapting to change.

:doh:

 

Diamond is the largest distributor of comics (including TPBs/hardcovers) in North America, and has exclusive agreements with most of the large comic book publishers (Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, etc).

 

Amazon, just like all the other large book chains,

Marvel leaves Diamond for Hachette

 

Marvel splits with Diamond books

 

Disney has a different game plan.

Diamond distributes to the LCS, Hachette distributes Marvel trade paperbacks to Amazon.

 

Your comment is still nonsense - even with the loss of Marvel (and they didn't loose them for the direct market), DCB is still the largest distributor of comic book TPBs and hardcovers out there :gossip:

DC switches to Random House.

 

They switched from Warner Books/Hachette, not DCB.

 

From the article:

DC will continue to use Diamond Comics Distributors to distribute to the comics shop market.

 

How about you just show me a link to back up your claim that "Amazon sells more trade paperbacks then Diamond does"?

I thought you guys werent serious about the DC sell outs, but 2 of my 3 shops have sold out of Bat-girl, Detective and JLA. The 3rd shop is almost sold out as well.

What`s even worse is some of my LCS`s are charging double or more for them. How is that going to help get new readers/customers?

An example is a new reader/customer comes in and wants the Justice League comic they heard about in the media,so lcs dealer says it`s over there on the wall, but it will cost you $10! :o New reader/customer leaves lcs with a bad taste in their mouth to most likely to never to return again.

Talk about short- sightedness with some of these LCS.

I bumped this because I find this far more unhealthy for the comic industry, and don`t want this information to be lost because of the

who sells more trade paperbacks Amazon or Diamond discussion.

What people should do is just skip the monthlies and buy the trades. Which more and more people are doing anyway.

Plenty of those trades will be available at the LCS's, because Diamond sells a lot of them each month. :whistle:

What gets me is their charging $2.99 to $3.99 for a digital monthly. It will not work in the long run. They are setting themselves up for failure. Maybe .99 cents but $2.99 to $3.99 for a digital monthly is :screwy:
