In the Scope: Speakeasy Shakes Things Up
Diamond’s stricter policy on pre-orders causing ripples throughout the industry
"The independent comic books are just not selling well right now (look at many peoples’ sales)," [Speakeasy publisher, Adam] Fortier conceded. "Printers are changing their policies, Diamond is changing their policies; it means we have to think outside the box and offer alternatives."Second only to my Charlie Huston interview and tagging Rich Watson for a column as my favorite contribution to Buzzscope to-date, though it may be a tad bit rambly as it all came together really late last night and it's self-edited, rarely a good thing. Let me know what you think, here and/or there.

God, I hate to get all geek-stupid about this stuff, but allow me a moment here...
Warren Ellis: "That's a strong piece.
If nothing else, I'm hoping that this leads to a more muscular journalism from Buzzscope."
I'm only a casual Ellis fan and have mixed feelings about The Engine, but damn if that doesn't make me grin like a gibbering idiot. :-)
BTW, I was tempted to contact Abbinanti, but I had to edit out a good three pages of stuff as it was! Be curious to hear his thoughts on the recent developments.
