Amazon and other non-comic retailers use a distributor other than Diamond which is always a few weeks behind. And yeah, your local store just probably isn't ordering many or any $125 books short of special orders.

Unrelated, Alex de Campi is tweeting about an unnamed publisher inviting her to a retreat, but being unwilling to pay for her child (she's a single mother), and threatening to remove her from the as-yet unreleased book if she doesn't at least teleconference in to the whole thing.

Any guesses as to what publisher this is? Refusing to pay for the child is one thing, but expecting her to conform to a schedule she's informed of three days in advance (and threatening to terminate her if she doesn't) is amazingly scummy and unprofessional. This can't be the modus operandi of a major publisher, right?

Right? :ohdear:

(Not to say that it's not awful behaviour and a really terrible situation regardless, because it is.)

Well, there are endless stories of poo poo like this coming out of a major publisher after they were bought out by Disney and started treating their employees like complete garbage. Maybe you can work out which one I mean...

:thunk:

Man, what a disaster. No million dollar operation should act like this.
