Quick news roundup
I just realized I did pretty much nothing on this blog for Halloween! How could I be so remiss?
Today I’m just going to give a quick roundup of news:
According to Bleeding Cool, Marvel is releasing Civil War on the iPhone. I don’t know why I’m so excited for this – I hope the first issue is free. I can see myself reading superhero comics this way. I’m not spending the money in the store but if it’s good enough I could drop a dollar on the phone.
This article from Publisher’s Weekly about teen reading habits is interesting. What really jumped out at me was not that teens read graphic novels because duh but that, according to the survey, the most read graphic novel genre is romance. Now, I’m generalizing but I think it’s a fairly safe generalization that more girls read romance. If it’s the largest genre read then that leads me to believe that lots of girls read graphic novels which again duh. Why haven’t the publishers caught on?
And just preparing for Halloween next year, this cracked me up.
