Shawn Hamilton of the Great Escape in Nashville, Tennessee was prompted by the recent DC price increases (see 'Jemas: Read My Lips -- No Price Increases') to send us this comment on retailers that are critical of Marvel's policies.

 

I just read today that DC will be raising the cover prices on a several titles.  Where is Peter David?  Where is the public outrage?  Where are the retailers spouting that DC is a greedy corporation with no thought of the future of the industry?  Did you know that DC has always calculated the suggested retail price of the comic based on the circulation and is then applauded for 'thinking of the reader first' for not canceling borderline titles.  The hypocrisy of comic retailers concerning the policies of Marvel vs. DC is baffling to me; perhaps some of the people that are so quick to jump the anti-Marvel band wagon need to study the issues a little closer before using a public forum to spout off!  Just my opinion.
