I feel like its a nasty tactic.. but I can't hate em for it. I think DC should answer back with a Fear Itself purge tactic of their own.

I think this is pretty fucked up and shouldnt be taken lightly by readers or retailers. I bet any money they would throw the biggest bitch fit in the world if people did this to them and I mean both parties. I may have to go to a Marvel panel and ask a question about this. Maybe I will even rip one of their books in front of them.

That's not fun is disrepectful. If you put in work on a comic Iggy and had another retailer tell people to rip up your copies of your hard work how would you feel?

It's not like the retailers have to rip up the Flashpoint tie ins, I know for a fact that my LCS didn't rip up any Blackest Night tie ins when that went down. Plus once the retailers get the complete product, they can do whatever they want with it.

Plus this is comics fan we are talking about, do you actually thing they will rip up comics? Do you really?

Who in their right mind would deprive their store of 50 comics to sell so they can get the blandest alternate cover imaginable? Who cares about alternate covers anymore anyway? The 90's are happening again! Fuck's sake.

Regardless it's still a pussy ass move and shows a lack of faith in your product.
