I got back yesterday from 3 weeks in Las Vegas, where I bought comics, mostly trades, for $280. Including Jam!, which I really enjoyed. Even Kevin's story
It was nice being in a place with comic book shops, they don't really exist here in Finland.

Not really any thoughts about the episode, exept that I also really like Sam & Twitch.

Coming from an independent POV, I am curious, you don't go into detail against the single app argument. You just say don't do but don't give any reasons why. What other viable mobile outlet do you recommend to generate revenue? DC, Marvel and so on are only interested in their own products. Your Apple censorship argument seems to fall short due to the big publishers like DC and Marvel censors and control materials as well. Readers are great if you are a publisher with a library like iVerse but if you are self publishing, there are very few options or you have to give away your product to a publisher for peanuts.
