"Marvel has ... sold us out": At ICv2.com, retailer Rick Keefe responds to news of Marvel's bookstore-distribution deal with Source Interlink. Needless to say, he isn't happy:

"I find it ridiculous that we as an industry decided to move Free Comic Book Day to time with the release of Spider-Man 2, a Marvel movie, when Marvel is willing to take the bread and butter of comic book stores away and pass it off to the corporate chains.

"I feel no need to support Marvel in the way that I have been in the past. Their decision just doubled or tripled or quadrupled the number of competitors that I and other independent comic specialty shops have to work against. It is a clear signal to me that Marvel DOES NOT have our best interests at heart."
