Jon: I hear you, Chip is one of the BEST marketing and public relations guys in the industry. Both have been very good at sending stuff our way, and I thank them for it. However, where are the even smaller publishers and indie guys? If they are so worried about meeting that 2500 issue cap that Diamond has imposed, now is the time to come a knockin’ on our door.

@Stephen

Little ol’ DDOY knocked on the door of the guys at Red 5 & BOOM! Studios and they responded. Granted I don’t generate the amount of page views that you guys do … but they still want to hear from me. Chip Mosher has sent me gobs of stuff in the mail to review. The smaller guys are doing a much better job of getting out there and getting me to review, read, and BUY titles that myself or my readers typically wouldn’t.

Mr. Stephen: The slippage is understandable you prolific (and at least semi-magnificent) bastard, you. :)

You need to do more of these….Well actually il survive without, but only because i listen too the Podcast and you tend to go in deeper there…So it wont kill me if the blog is reserved for news and the podcast for the in depth stuff…Still though nice piece on the media-industry dynamic, very informative.

And damn you Schleicher for pulling a Johnson (Not a euphimism)

“Keep checking out Major Spoilers and the Major Spoilers Podcast as I’m working on something with a small distributor who has had huge success in marketing his comics. We’re just working on the date and time at the moment, but it should be ready soon.”

Why do you tease….Thats horrible!

wyntie: I’ve been meaning to have at least one insightful commentary piece a week, but somehow it slips past in all the other stuff I’m writing about.

Y’know, this sort of insightful commentary would probably be welcomed by more than “li’l ol’ wyntie” — so long as it doesn’t overrun the comicky goodness we all come here to devour. If anybody else agrees, I think they should say so (or if you disagree, say so too — let’s just keep it reasonable and not-flamey). :)
