This week has some interesting fare, according to the
shipping lists. I’ll be picking up Supreme
Power #6, which finishes off the issues needed
to review the first story arc, as well as Exiles
#40, Ultimate Spider-Man #52, and
Wolverine: The End #2.

My friendly neighborhood comic shop didn’t get his shipment in today. Diamond doesn’t know where it is.
Re: )-:
what are the reasons diamond has no competitors?
Re: )-:
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…
Ultimate Spider Man
I hope you review Ultimate Spider Man, I’m having such a good time with that series.
Re: Ultimate Spider Man
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.
