Hmmm... May 7th. You would think that would be a convenient time for a release if a movie or something was coming out
You know, to cash in the success of the film...if a movie was coming out.
Because Marvel wouldn't be getting full royalties from said film, they might release something easily accessible for new readers so they can get in on some $$$
Seriously, there is a movie coming out.
This is ridiculous. I'm utterly baffled by this. You seriously think that releasing a new graphic novel has anything to do with attracting new readers? Think about it. Your proposing that Marvel will make more money if there is a new book in the comic book shops when new readers become curious, implying that they will make less money if there is not a new book on the shelves. Think about this.
Customer: "That movie sure was fun. I've always loved Spider-Man. Maybe I should check out the comics.
Employee: "Can I help you find anything?"
Customer: "Yeah, I would like to read some Spider-Man."
Employee: "Alright, let me show you the Spidey section. I would personally recommend this, or this, or my personal favorite, this."
Customer: "Umm, did any of these come out like, today?"
Employee: "I don't think so, but this trade is just a couple weeks old, and this trade is from maybe last month."
Customer: "Yeeeaaah, uuuuummm. Nevermind. I'll just leave now."
Me: "....Seriously?"
