I got the impression retailers always got PDFs early. If they deny them is that when you know there's something juicy?

Full pdfs are not very common.

Whew, got busy right after I posted this!

So the way PDF previews now work is pretty simple. To entice retailers, DC and Marvel now send the previews to Diamond. On those books, when you click their entry in the Diamond catalog there is a "generate preview" button. When you do this there is a brief wait and then a pdf of the book downloads to your PC. Sometimes the preview is a full color finished book (Mister Miracle #1) but recently they are just b&w (all the new DC stuff hitting in the coming weeks). When you generate the pdf there is a pattern spread across the pages like puzzle pieces and in each piece is your store diamond code. This way if it leaks they can trace it almost immediately.

Now SOMEBODY thought it was a good idea to share the JLoA page in a retailer group this morning and that guy was removed from the group an hour later with the admin explaining that DC's FB guy asked for them to be booted and warning that there was a massive penalty coming to that store.

Is Promethea massively popular and I'm the strange one for barely being aware of it? I get Watchmen, that's a well known popular comic, but bringing in Promethea and whoever else just seems like they're specifically trying to get Alan Moore mad.

I stand by the position that the use of anything Moore created over the past few years is Johns sticking back at him after Moore said Johns career was based on his table scraps. I mean, they're going to drop V into the DCU this year, bank on it.

Sheets of plywood are your best bet. I've been in a few shops that use them and they usually put a 1/4 inch piece of plywood between each row of boxes. Just swing into Lowes/Menards/Home Depot with the desired measurements and they'll usually cut it for free.

Speaking of Black Panther, Abraham Riesman (who has become my favorite pop culture writer, especially when he focuses on comics) wrote a really great profile piece in Vulture on Christopher Priest, the man who made Black Panther popular in the first place.

Do Gold Key/Whitman comics count as Dell?

They continued the numbering so sort of. BCT had a fuckload of those as well. In the late 90's they were well known for their selection. I know they still have an enormous inventory so if that's your thing hit them up. They also had a very large number of 50's humor books.
