I'm all for helping out the little comic shop guy, but they shouldn't have a monopoly on where you can find the product. Again comics have to be made as visible and accessible to the general public in as many digital and print outlets as possible. otherwise they will continue to die off.
It could be a historic disaster for DC, or it could be an era of new innovation, and rejuvenation depending on why they are doing it. If it's to expand the market that's a good thing, if it's to simply save AT&T money without any innovation, well...than bad idea.
