As a retailer I think this is an interesting day to start a DC thread.

I didn’t get around to starting one considering there were threads dedicated to specific titles like Action Comics, but then realized there were cases like there being a Planet Comics thread even though there was already a Fiction House one, and nobody seemed to feel that it was redundant to have both threads around, so I went ahead with making a DC one.

I like it. I don't know if you are aware but DC announced today that they are discontinuing their distribution relationship with Diamond Distributors. This has sent shockwaves through the new comics landscape with a huge ton of animosity being directed at DC.

On the other hand I am very happy about DC's announcement!

Oh wow. Didn’t know that. So are they going to look for a more preferable distributor then?

They are essentially going to be distributing themselves but the physical delivery will be overseen by two larger retailers - Midtown Comics in NY under the name UCS Distribution, and DCBS in Indiana under the name Lunar Distribution.
