My Problem With Diamond

News

Alright, so Diamond is only game in town as far as comic distribution goes, right? And whenever you want to see what books are shipping in a given week, that’s where you go, right?

Well, why is it that the last three issues of Invincible I’ve bought weren’t listed?

Why is it that if not for being on my pull list, I would have never gotten a single issue of The Unwritten?

How are books with critical acclaim overlooked on the shipping lists?

Fuck, how are books by any of the big five companies ever left off of the lists?

I’m annoyed, and that’s my rant. I would like very much to know that when I go to the comic shop that books won’t be sneaking into my stack because Diamond didn’t list them.
