      what are the reasons diamond has no competitors?

        what are the reasons diamond has no competitors?

        All of the major publishers (Marvel, DC, Image, and a few others, I think) have exclusive distribution agreements with Diamond. There are a few smaller distributers (Last Gasp, Cold Cut) but they can only carry the smaller publishers.

        And retailers who order through diamond agree not to resell things to other diamond accounts, I think (or maybe it is with the publishers directly?). There was a retailer that got into trouble with DC over this recently.

        Another reason manga is going to take over…

    I hope you review Ultimate Spider Man, I’m having such a good time with that series.

      I review every story arc now. (The first six were
      reviewed as trades, then we went by the issue for a while,
      and now we’re back to story arcs.) I believe that means
      the next should come up with a review of issues 50-53.
