“They’ve also announced two new mass market distributors: Simon & Schuster in the U.S. and HarperCollinsCanada in Canada…”

One of the things I find interesting about these bits of news is that BOOM has gone with different companies for U.S. and Canadian distribution. Obviously, Simon & Schuster has the ability to do Canadian distribution, and HarperCollins has the ability do U.S. distribution. Certainly many comics publishers who strike a deal for North American book distribution seem to do so by just assigning one partner for the U.S. and Canada.

That BOOM! has selected separate partners for these two territories implies a level of interest and involvement in their distribution that perhaps you don’t necessarily see with every other publisher.

Not only that, but I appreciate the irony of having a typo in a comment making fun of someone else’s typos/errors. Typing on an iPhone is tough, sometimes.

Chip – everything looks good! Let the editor take care of it. That works wonders for Bendis, after all.

Someone has to say it: Thid is great news! It’ll free Chip up to proofread his press releases before he sends them out.

Sorry. Back to the serious news.
