Oh...well, I imagine this will be impactful to the industry in some form or another.
Nobody can say the monopoly hasn't been broken now. End of an era.

My exact response to this news. This is going to be a game changing move for the comics industry.

Yeah this is a gamechanger. The industry is going through another watershed moment and it looks like DC will be leading the charge.
Who's that? Lois Lane?
Well this changes everything
What does it change, in practice ?

Looks like Shrinking Violet.
Diamond distributed DC for 25 years. Who distributed DC before that time?

Does anyone recall, was it DC that signed an exclusive with Diamond first so very many years ago?

Before there was Diamond and Capital One distributors (Maybe others). Everyone went exclusive with Diamond which caused Capital One to close its business.

That's a pretty good-looking Shrinking Violet...

They bought out Heroes World, only to go bankrupt a couple of years later and go in with Diamond. That's what finished Capital off.
