Amazon Enters Comic Market

With their own imprint.

I’m actually surprised it took this long, and it sounds like they’re bringing in some heavy hitters.

I also figure it won’t take long for them to combine this with their fanfic options, CreateSpace, etc.  It’s just them entering a logical market.

Of course this also puts them in competition with a lot of others out there, especially e-comics.

Hollywood is Having A Tough Time Recently

Lone Ranger joins some other poor-performing films.

We’ve also had some real hits (Trek, etc.) and Despicable Me 2 did well (I would argue, personally, it quite deserved it).  But it’s worth noting since we’ve been following a string of concerns about Hollywood potentially having a collapse.
