Asking ahead of time (when they're first solicited, not when the book is about to hit) and making sure that your local comic shop is actually carrying the books is the best way to support IDW and other independant publishers. Also bear in mind that the bestseller lists are based off initial orders through Diamond. Take out the middleman and TF comics become that bit less visable. With the movie out this year brand visability isn't so much an issue right now, but this time next year? I'll continue to buy through my local independant comic shop wherever possible.

I use to buy my comics that way. I had a list of comics I Wanted to buy, the shop would order them, and I'd pay for 'em when they came in.

But latly they haven't been ordering any of the comics on my list. It's like they just forgot about me.


And plus it's a small shop in a town in AL. I was surprised to learn we even had a comic shop.

Like Trunks I get them from the comic book shops, well when Im in Melbourne which is a few times a year I buy up the TPB I want.
