That´s one of the things that always bothered (and still bothers) me about the DARK HORSE page. That they put up previews of their books only after they have shipped as opposed to when they are announced.

best example is MAIL, which is a beautifully drawn book, but the covers are horrendous, still that´s all you get to see on the DH page. Way to lose sales I say.

They could have used a .htaccess file to redirect all their old urls. I am surprised that they did not do that. It can be disastrous for a large site to overhaul without a simple method of redirecting from old pages.

You’re right. When I updated my Tokyopop links on several of my series recommendation pages, I noticed that previews that used to be there were missing.

I forgot to mention that on David’s blog: Didn’t Tokyopop’s site used to have a lot of previews? I swear the Sgt. Frog section had some sample pages but now there’s nothing.
