The National Comic Book Expo was this past weekend, in Toronto. On hand was former Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski to answer questions.
Some hightlights:

“An unexpected result from the success of Marvel’s movies has been an increase in sales of the Essentials line from adults who have renewed their interest in comics.”

and
“(Hardcovers are) doing phenomenally well. Whatever we’ve put out in hardcover has sold well, so I think you’ll see a lot more of that.”

Quick show this time around due to the fact that I have to get prepared for a job interview on Thursday. Good thing I’ve been listening to
The Working Podcast!
In this show I go over the New Releases of the week, all the Batman DVD news from

The Digital Bits, including a bit of Batman 1943 trivia from

IMDB.com and finally DC’s November and December collected editions release schedule from

Newsarama.
Enjoy!
