At the April retailer summit in Chicago, Diamond broached the possibility of making Tuesday new comics day instead of Wednesday, in accordance with retailers' wishes to get comics a day early to avoid a Wednesday morning stocking rush and so on. (The biggest Diamond accounts already get Tuesday delivery.) While most industry types at the show felt that Diamond wouldn't be asking this question unless they planned to go ahead with it, it is still very much in the thinking stages. Diamond has been running a retailer survey on their website for a few months polling shops on what day and delivery method they think would be best, and whether a $5 weekly fee to cover the costs of policing the system and prevent early sales would be reasonable. We're told that over 1,000 retailers responded, but Diamond hasn't decided how to move forward yet.

I'd like to introduce the improved Events page! Now you can just go to our all purpose Events Page and see what's coming up! It's a little barebones now, but eventually it will have the week's events listed. You can also see the three upcoming events in the sidebar. (Sorry about that dingbat -- still trying to fix it.) As very observant readers may have noticed, I've been struggling with events for a while -- they were way too NYC-centric to be really useful, but this way, events can be quickly added and a database maintained. I'll still be doing some spotlight posts, as well, but this is, hopefully, a useful resource. So keep those events coming!
