"why is everyone so resistant to making their product as widely available as possible?"

Hmm...I dunno? Maybe because local comic shops are how new titles get put into the hands of comics readers? Retailers promote these comics direct to the fans.

So baby steps = buying electronic comics? Instead of supporting your local comic shop? Wotta fucking idiot.

But no surprise. Constant continues to felate Amazon and other online sellers over local economies. And from a supposed "local" blog/paper no less.

So Mercury...how can we get less Constant?
