So, Dark Horse announced they're going day and date digital, but for a cheaper price, aka 1-2 bucks off...
and some retailers think that's undercutting the local comic shop... is this just the future of comics? will the local shop go the way of the record store?
I personally think comic shops offer more for customers than record stores offered their customers. I also think good stores will be able to keep going, and bad stores will suffer...
apparently a few shop owners will stop ordering Dark Horse books for the shelf, and only get special orders for customers...
